A real treat. Anric Blatt is one of my favorite people on LinkedIn. He's funny, knowledgeable, and a real force of nature, churning out supportive comments by the truckload with a dazzling array of fonts, emojis and personalized GIFs.

He and I have a bit of a running joke on LinkedIn where I post some rant against "vulnerability" on LinkedIn and he reminds me that we need to be authentic and include our whole personality into our LinkedIn presence. And he enjoys painting me as the "BUSINESS ONLY" thought police on LinkedIn who yells at people "This is not Facebook!"

So one day we decided to battle it out and ran a zoom call with a select crowd of participants. We covered what I now in retrospect call Toxic Vulnerability on Social Media, Anric explains his model of the funnel he helps his clients with, we discuss tons of concepts like Respectful Authenticity, "Swinging the Monkey", and towards the end he even gives me some tough love on my content.

You'll enjoy this one.
