Ep 110: How to Turn Any Stupid Thing Into a LinkedIn Business Lesson

Have you noticed everyone on LinkedIn now turns the most mundane crap into a business lesson? Stubbed toe...that's leadership. Wrinkly socks...team dynamics. Toothbrush running flat...how do you lead a team?            So Simon and John built a template. Now you can too. The formula is this simple: Something happens… Which made me think… Here's the thing...(insight) Question? Join my webinar (optional but very thought leadership vibes)  That's it. That's the whole LinkedIn thought leadership industry. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this episode, they test the template on: A squirted orange (lesson: risk is everywhere) An overcooked egg (lesson: stop overworking) A three-legged rescue dog called Peggy (lesson: conversation starters at work, "where's your Peggy?") A toilet that won't flush (lesson: dealing with disappointment) A surprise kitten a child said they'd pay for (lesson: colleagues who over-promise and never deliver) A stubbed toe, a butterfly, and several other things that should not be business lessons but absolutely are now LinkedIn already gave the world the humble brag. The life lessons are next-level LinkedIn.  Warning: strong irony, sharp humour, and a deep affection for the absurdity of business content. If you've ever posted "what my morning coffee taught me about strategy," this one's for you. And about you. One of John and Simon's favourite no-guest episodes. Send it to the worst LinkedIn poster you know.   As always, stay curious, make stuff, have fun, play more, and date life.
