If LinkedIn makes you feel like you have to choose between showing up and saying something wrong, this episode is your permission slip to stop playing it safe. PR leader Parry Headrick joins Brian Rowley and Laura Smith to talk about what “authentic” looks like when you’re building visibility in public.

Parry breaks down how he built his LinkedIn presence by “ungating his brain." He explains why LinkedIn is mission-critical (not a “when I have time” channel), and how strong POV and consistency drive trust and engagement. You’ll also hear how earned media is becoming even more valuable in the AI-driven search era, and why he refuses to use AI for his own writing. Plus: a rapid-fire hot seat segment on the LinkedIn behaviors everyone loves to judge.
