For years, most blue-collar businesses focused heavily on Facebook and Instagram, but LinkedIn has quietly become one of the best platforms for networking, partnerships, sponsorship opportunities, recruiting, and building a professional brand.

Mike shares his thoughts on:

• Why contractors stand out on LinkedIn
• The opportunities that can come from simply posting consistently
• Building relationships with manufacturers, brands, and business owners
• Using LinkedIn to document your journey and growth
• Why authentic business content performs better than overthinking every post

From growing Coastal Fertilization and building ROPED to attending live events and networking with industry leaders, Mike explains how LinkedIn is becoming a major tool for business growth in 2026. If you're trying to grow your company, expand your network, and create more opportunities, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
