Guest: Samuli Salonen, Co-founder @ Haamu.io

What happens when you realize founder-led content isn't just for customer acquisition? You unlock its full potential.Β 

In this episode of Haamucast, Edward sits down with fellow Haamu co-founder Samuli to unpack their biggest learnings about founder-led content from both their own journey and working with clients. From unexpected use cases to common mistakes, they break down what actually works in the real world.

You'll hear:

πŸ‘» Why the lead generation obsession is misguided ("I would not even consider testing it for less than six months") and the four alternative goals that drive success

πŸ‘» How to find your authentic voice using the "CEO at a bar" exercise: "Imagine two CEOs having a beer, and one tells the other they should follow you on LinkedIn. What would they say about you?"

πŸ‘» The content matrix framework borrowed from Justin Welsh that combines topics, formats, and angles to generate "an unlimited amount of content"

πŸ‘» Why your best-performing posts should be recycled every month with slight variations rather than constantly creating new ideas

πŸ‘» The unexpected ROI beyond leads: speaking invitations, newspaper features, investor relationships, and even improved internal communications

Bonus: Samuli reveals his biggest sales call change: "I don't try to sell customers in, but I actually try to sell them not to do it" because founder-led content isn't a quick win but a long-term game.
