  • How to get 30k followers without posting anything authentic | #22

    10M+ LinkedIn impressions. Head of Insights. “I am the captain now.”

    Jason Saltzman isn't a typical "Top Voice." 


    In this conversation, Jason, current Head of Insights at CB Insights, breaks down the data-driven content model:

    Bypassing the 'selfie-and-meme' content to deliver high-value intelligence on private companies and the startup ecosystem.

    We debate the value of the LinkedIn Top Voice badge, discuss if his content is actually more "salesy" than other data creators, and break down the exact strategy that gets him massive engagement without being a typical "LinkedIn influencer."


    If you want to understand how to build authority using proprietary company data, and what Jason says matters more than your follower count for going viral, this episode is you.

  • I asked a $100M founder for LinkedIn advice | #21

    This episode is a deep dive on social media and business with Eric Wei, co-founder of Karat, a $100M fintech business helping creators with their finances - think "Square" but for influencers.

    We flew out to LA and sat down with Eric to break down his story from working at top firms like McKinsey and Instagram, to meeting his co-founder Will Kim and launching Karat in 2019.

    Eric sheds light on why creating content isn't optional for creators in 2026, how LinkedIn has helped his business, and what he's learned from working with some of the biggest names in social media, including Graham Stephan, Alex Botez, and Nas Daily.

  • The real reason influencers are rich | #20

    3,000 cold DMs. Co-founders with millions of TikTok followers. A portfolio ranging from de-extinction science to Kentucky Derby horses.

    Marshall Sandman isn't running a traditional venture capital fund.

    In this conversation, Marshall breaks down the Animal Capital model: using massive influencer reach to bypass traditional ad spend for their portfolio companies. 

    We debate the cringiest parts of LinkedIn (and why he’s hesitant to become a "LinkedIn influencer"), discuss the economics of bringing wooly mammoths back to life with Colossal Biosciences, and share the insane story of how Griffin Johnson moved the betting odds at the Kentucky Derby by 60% just by posting.

    If you want to understand how the creator economy is reshaping venture capital, this episode is your blueprint.

  • LeBron's warm-up routine will earn you 70,000 followers | #19

    The generic "Analyst" headline. The "About" section filled with buzzwords. The "Experience" section copied and pasted from a Word doc, burying your best achievements (like 70k TikTok followers) where no one will ever see them.

    Your LinkedIn profile is a digital graveyard.

    In this conversation, we do a live, 8-point teardown of Jacob Fenton's profile. We share the exact, behind-the-scenes process of transforming a generic profile into a "mental athlete" and finding a powerful niche in the "psychology of business."

    If you're tired of feeling scared to hit post, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.

  • We interviewed the funniest creator on LinkedIn | #18

    Kevin Baker is the funniest person on LinkedIn.

    Just a few years ago, Kevin was working in the mailroom at a top talent agency (UTA), restocking printers and wearing a suit. He was surrounded by corporate culture and felt stifled, unable to post the "stupid stuff" he loved. His job had become a prison for his creativity.

    Instead of conforming, he started posting. He tested the waters with a post acting like he fell for a "CEO gift card scam," which didn't go over well. So he quit. 

    He leaned into satire, creating the legendary 3.1 million view "Costco as a co-working space" post and mastering the art of content that makes people ask, "Is this a joke?"

    In this conversation, Kevin gives a masterclass on creating viral, satirical content. He shares the exact, behind-the-scenes stories of his most famous posts, breaks down his creative process, and reveals why LinkedIn is the ultimate platform for humor because everyone else is so serious.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    The 3.1M View Post: The story and creative process behind the "Costco co-working" hit.

    The "CEO Scam" Post: The post that got him in hot water.

    "Is This Real?": The philosophy of creating content that perfectly toes the line.

    Fear of Flopping: The mental warfare of following up a 3 million view post.

    Corporate "Alpha": Why LinkedIn is the best platform for humor right now.

    Why Are People Scared to Like?: The "boss" factor holding back engagement on funny posts.

    If you're tired of generic social media advice, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.

  • going viral is shockingly uncomplicated | #17

    Your content strategy is mental warfare.

    We break down the 3-part framework that separates sustainable creators from one-hit wonders.

    If you're tired of chasing analytics and want to win the battle against your own brain, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.

  • Marta Rus: how to stand out on LinkedIn in the age of AI | #16

    From solo traveling India for six months to building a personal branding business, Marta Rus isn't teaching typical marketing tactics.

    In this conversation, Marta breaks down her "Heart-Led Founder" model: using deep authenticity and vulnerability to bypass the noise on Instagram and stand out to the 1% of users actually posting on LinkedIn.

    We debate the role of AI in creative writing (and why she still writes her first drafts by hand), discuss the "Soul Meter" concept for content, and share why sending voice notes in DMs is the highest ROI networking strategy you aren't using.

    If you want to build a personal brand that feels authentic rather than just purely strategic, this episode is for you.

  • Stop Competing With 1,000+ Resumes. Just post on LinkedIn | #15

    Applying to jobs is harder now more than ever.

    Everyone feels it. The "spray and pray" of a hundred cold emails. The feeling of being one of "thousands of applicants" for two slots. The "wall of silence" from recruiters and the fear that you have nothing "valuable or interesting" to say.

    It's the single biggest thing that stops college students from landing a job.

    In this conversation, we break down why LinkedIn content is the new networking. 

    We share the exact "G.A.P. Framework" for "networking at scale," what to post when you feel you have "nothing to say," and how to get job opportunities to come "inbound" to you.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    The "Digital Black Hole": Why 1,000+ job applications lead to 0 offers.

    "Networking at Scale": The new playbook for standing out (and getting your network's network to help you).

    The "Spray and Pray" Problem: Why your traditional cold emails are getting ignored.

    Inbound Opportunities: How to get recruiters and professionals to message you.

    The G.A.P. Framework

    If you're tired of your resume getting ignored, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.
