Ep. 13: What 33 Million Impressions Taught Us About Executive LinkedIn (2026 Report)

vendredi 12 juin 2026 • Durée 39:00

Every year we analyze how real executives - not influencers - actually perform on LinkedIn. This year’s dataset is the largest yet: 6,035 posts, 33.2 million impressions, and 457,000 engagements from CEOs and senior leaders. In this episode,

Join me as we walk through all ten findings from the 2026 Executive LinkedIn Report and what they mean for how you show up.

In this episode:

Why executive reach is up 14% year over year - and the window hasn’t closed
Which formats win: images for reach, video for engagement, and why carousels keep losing
Why your original posts reach 5× more people than reshares
The content type that beats everything else (it’s more personal than you think)
Two myths the data kills: hashtags and the “end with a question” rule
What the 15 highest-performing posts of the year all have in common
Why the biggest reach comes from a system, not raw talent

No tactics for the sake of tactics - just what the data actually shows about leading in public.

Ep. 12: The Best Company Doesn't Always Win

vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 16:21

There's a conversation I have more than any other.

A CEO calls. Twenty years in their industry. Deep expertise. Serious client roster. And they say - with a frustration that is equal parts wounded and furious - "We are losing to a competitor that has a fraction of our experience. They have fewer clients, less track record, less everything. And they are getting more attention than we are. How is that possible?"

It's possible because being the best in your market and being perceived as the best are two completely different things. And in the absence of visibility, the market can't tell the difference.

In this episode, I explain why this keeps happening - and what to do about it.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the frustration of watching a less experienced competitor win is both emotionally valid and strategically costly

• The VHS vs. Betamax story: how a technically superior product lost the market entirely - and what it means for your business

• Three things the less experienced competitor has that you don't (speed, risk tolerance, first mover advantage)

• The one thing they can never have: your twenty years of earned expertise

• Why LinkedIn is a compounding game - and why every month you wait makes the gap harder to close

• How to compete on your terms, not theirs: leaning into what can't be replicated

• The magnetic leader: why bringing who you actually are to LinkedIn is the distribution strategy

The best company doesn't always win. The best-perceived one does.

Ep. 11: What the Data Actually Says About Executive LinkedIn in 2026

vendredi 1 mai 2026 • Durée 25:13

Most LinkedIn advice is built on data from the wrong people.

Influencers. Content creators. Marketing professionals. People whose full-time job is posting. When you study that population, you learn what works for that population. And what works for an influencer is often actively wrong for a CEO.

For the fourth year in a row, we published the Executive LinkedIn Report - built entirely on executive data. 6,035 posts. 33 million impressions. 457,000 engagements. From CEOs, C-suite leaders, and senior executives across healthcare, software, financial services, education, and more.

The findings are different from what you've been told. In several cases, they directly contradict it.

What You'll Learn:

• Why influencer LinkedIn data is the wrong benchmark for executives - and what four years of executive-only data shows instead

• Format performance: images reach 31% more people than text, video leads on engagement, and documents have been declining for two years running

• Why original posts reach 5x more people than reshares - and why resharing is costing you more than you think

• The content hierarchy: personal stories outperform every other category, including industry insight and company news

• Two myths the data kills definitively: hashtags (32% reach penalty, zero engagement benefit) and closing questions (don't drive comments, cost reach)

• The Sunday finding: 88% more impressions than Monday, highest engagement rate of any day - and only 1.3% of posts use it

• How 7 executives generated 47% of all impressions - and the system behind it

• Why human voice is becoming more valuable, not less, as AI floods the platform with noise

Ep. 10: The Reluctant CEO - How to Be Visible Without Losing Your Integrity

vendredi 24 avril 2026 • Durée 19:08

I hate social media.

That's not something you'd expect to hear from the CEO of a LinkedIn ghostwriting company. But it's true. And I think it's the most important thing I can tell you before anything else in this episode.

Because the discomfort most leaders feel around LinkedIn visibility? I feel it too. After four years of posting. After hundreds of posts. It still stings when something I care about lands in the void. The edge doesn't go away.

What changes is that the discomfort becomes purposeful. And that's a completely different thing.

In this episode, I share more of my own experience than I usually do - including the meditation retreat post that fell completely flat, the Stanford Business School reunion where I didn't have to explain what I was up to because everyone already knew, and what I've learned from watching the shyest, most reluctant clients generate the most powerful responses when they finally speak.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the discomfort of posting doesn't go away - and why that's actually the honest answer

• The difference between being ignored and being criticized - and which one stings more

• Why authenticity alone isn't a strategy (and the meditation retreat post that taught me that)

• Why the most reluctant leaders tend to have the most powerful voice when they finally use it

• The Stanford reunion: what the compound effect of visibility actually feels like in a room

• How to reframe visibility from ego to service - and why that changes everything

• Finding your voice in public: why it's messy, iterative, and worth it anyway

Ep. 9: How Do I Know If This Is Working?

vendredi 17 avril 2026 • Durée 29:40

The question I hear from almost every CEO six months into posting on LinkedIn: "How do I know if this is working?"

But here's what I've noticed: most leaders start the conversation telling me exactly what they want - credibility, trust, narrative ownership, the ability to walk into a room and be known. And then the moment I ask "what does success look like," something shifts. They start talking about pipeline, attribution, follower counts, and dashboards.

That gear shift is the problem. And it's why so many leaders quit right before the flywheel starts spinning.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why the mismatch between what leaders want and how they measure it causes premature quitting

• Dark social: why 70-90% of your audience will never like or comment - and why that's not a bad thing

• The Matt story: a Naval Academy friend I hadn't spoken to in 15 years who introduced me to a CEO client after 18 months of silent reading

• Why probing in sales and hiring conversations is your most underrated attribution tool

• The conference analogy: why LinkedIn ROI looks exactly like conference ROI

• The performance curve: what to expect in months 1, 2, 3-6, and 6-12

• Four quantitative metrics to track - impressions, precision, profile views, follower growth - and the qualitative signals that get there first

• The practical playbook: what to track, log, and ask

If you've been posting and wondering whether it's worth it - this episode is for you.

Ep. 8: How Business Services Leaders Win Deals Before the First Meeting

vendredi 10 avril 2026 • Durée 32:39

In business services, everyone knows relationships win deals. The problem is arithmetic. You have 5,000 people in your network - and you can't have 5,000 coffees.

So most business services leaders stay genuinely top of mind with 30 or 50 people. And for everyone else - the former client who just moved firms, the referral source who's actively looking for a recommendation - they're invisible. Not because anyone forgot them. Because they stopped showing up.

LinkedIn solves that arithmetic problem. And in this episode, I walk through four business services leaders who proved it - an executive search partner, a chief of staff search CEO, a veteran staffing CEO, and a managing partner at a 5,000-person global firm.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the best business services leaders win on trust and visibility - not just quality of service

• The arithmetic problem: why you can only stay top of mind with 30-50 people without a system

• Case Study 1 - The Rainmaker: 5.5x posting frequency, 97% follower growth, $400K in directly tied contracts

• Case Study 2 - The Specialist: 700K views on one post, $300K contract, 15% of annual revenue from LinkedIn

• Case Study 3 - The Community Builder: 20 posts/month, 687 likes, LinkedIn as community not marketing channel

• Case Study 4 - The Firm: how a managing partner at a 5,000-person firm uses LinkedIn to lead in public

• The four-pillar content framework: 40% industry, 30% leadership, 20% company, 10% personal

• Why "giving away value IS the sales strategy" in business services

The gap isn't closed in the pitch room. It's created in the 18 months before.

Ep. 7: Four Leaders, Four Transformations, One Playbook

vendredi 3 avril 2026 • Durée 30:17

Healthcare organizations have a natural LinkedIn advantage that almost none of them use. They’re built on mission and people - the two content types that outperform everything else. In this episode, Justin breaks down four case studies from healthcare leaders he’s worked with - spanning software, services, healthtech, and medical devices, from 50 employees to 3,000 - where leadership visibility drove a $2B+ exit, 26% headcount growth during a talent crisis, mission-driven trust at scale, and a consistent leadership narrative from a 50-person startup.

What You’ll Learn:

Why healthcare organizations have an unfair LinkedIn advantage - and almost none use it
How a healthcare software CEO went from 5 posts/year to 240/year - then sold for $2B+
Why a Chief Clinical Officer’s LinkedIn became the best recruiting tool during a clinician shortage
How mission-driven content outperforms product content by 2-3x across every healthcare executive studied
Why the playbook scales from 50 employees to 3,000 - same framework, same results
The four-pillar content framework: 40% industry, 30% leadership, 20% company, 10% personal
Why personal resilience stories averaged 2.5x the engagement of business content for a medical device founder

Ep. 6: What Should I Even Talk About?

vendredi 27 mars 2026 • Durée 41:12

"I get it. I need to be more visible. But I have no idea what I'd talk about."

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. It's the #1 thing CEOs tell Justin after they decide to show up publicly. In this episode, Justin breaks down three specific tactics he uses with clients to uncover what they should talk about - and reveals why most leaders are sitting on a goldmine of content they can't see.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The Keynote Question: the single prompt that unlocks content ideas in 60 seconds

• The Venn Diagram: how to find the overlap between your expertise and your audience's interests

• Why the “curse of expertise” makes you invisible to your own best ideas

• The 80/20 rule for content mix - and why company reposts are killing your reach

• Why each post is a data point, not a performance to be graded

• How to say the same thing a million different ways (and why your audience wants you to)

Whether you're a CEO who's never posted on LinkedIn or a leader who's tried and stalled, this episode gives you the framework to start - and the permission to be imperfect.

Ep. 5: Four Tech CEOs Who Closed It

vendredi 20 mars 2026 • Durée 33:33

Tech CEOs invest obsessively in product, engineering, and go-to-market. Almost none invest in CEO visibility. In this episode, Justin breaks down four real case studies from tech companies—healthcare software, enterprise software, education technology, and estate planning—where CEO visibility drove a $2B+ exit, a $6B IPO, 133% growth in comments per post, and 156% quarterly engagement growth. Plus: the four mindset shifts that separate leaders who build real audiences from those who quit in month three.

What You’ll Learn:

Why 81% of B2B buyers already have a preferred vendor before the first sales call
The three mistakes tech CEOs make on LinkedIn (and what to do instead)
How a PE-backed software CEO went from 5 posts/year to 240/year — then sold for $2B+
Why an enterprise software CEO posted LESS and saw +71% impressions and a $6B IPO
How polarizing leadership opinions became the best recruiting tool for an edtech CEO
The four-pillar content framework: 40% industry, 30% leadership, 20% company, 10% personal
Why company promotion should be 20% or less of what you post

Ep. 4: Four Case Studies That Changed My Mind

vendredi 6 mars 2026 • Durée 17:47

Most companies have playbooks for pricing, go-to-market, talent, and operations. Almost none have a playbook for CEO visibility. In this episode, Justin breaks down four real case studies from investor-backed companies - spanning healthcare, cybersecurity, and consumer products - where CEO visibility directly drove exits, recruiting, IPOs, and enterprise revenue. The data is specific. The pattern is repeatable. And the conclusion is hard to argue with: the best company doesn’t always win.

What You’ll Learn:

Why a PE-backed CEO went from 5 posts a year to 20 posts a month - and then sold for $2B+
The content category that consistently outperforms company promotion (it’s not what you think)
How a Chief Clinical Officer used LinkedIn to grow headcount 26% during an industry-wide talent crisis
Why the most expensive impression on the internet is the one your biggest customer sees before deciding whether to take your call
The four-pillar content framework that produced measurable business outcomes across four different industries
The compound effect: why every CEO who quits, quits too early
