2026 will be the year of authenticity with a comeback of raw and unpolished content like vlogging, real-time updates and personal blogs.

This is the stuff that will work. You don’t need tools, AI, or big budgets. Just something interesting to say.

This is true for people but also for products. Most companies aren’t set up for this. Forward-thinking ones will hire in-house creators great at storytelling.

The best strategy to get attention will be to do things and tell the world about your own unique experience.

If you think that in the future all companies will start to vibe code their own tools instead of using a SaaS you’re disconnected from reality because when a company buys a product what they’re really paying for is the certainty and safety that things will just work without any headaches.

Forget Reddit now AI search tools are starting to love LinkedIn. I saw a study made by Spotlight that shows how basically all the main ones are citing content posted on there 5x times more often than before. Makes sense as it’s tied to real profiles and not anonymous sources.

I wasn’t expecting this. According to Similarweb Threads has now more daily active users than X. Anyone knows if there is an active community of founders and marketers on it? The trend looks on the rise. I guess it’s time to give it another try.

If you’re trying to get your first customers your best bet is to do what I call the 5.1 surround.

It’s pretty simple:

- Pick 1 social media platform: concentrate all of your effort on the single channel where your target audience is most active.
- Keep repeating 5 things: post following a content strategy, engage with related conversations, message your ideal customers, partner with relevant influencers and run laser targeted ads.

People will get that “it’s everywhere” effect that will make you top of mind when they need what your product does.

The founder of an early stage startup is looking to hire a marketing generalist to lead growth.

We were chatting and he was curious to know what I’d ask candidates.

So I gave him a few questions off the top of my head:

1. My product has 2,500 users but 50 paying customers. Any idea about what could be wrong?
2. AI search is a hot topic. Would you be able to explain what query fan-out means?
3. A SaaS has a retention problem. What are 3 things you’d do to reduce churn?
4. I’m running an ad on Instagram that says “learning limited.” How would you fix it?
5. This brand started being more active on social media. Could you tell me how to understand if it’s working?

I told him there’s not necessarily one right answer but it would be really interesting to hear their reasoning.

If they’re able to go through all of them they’re definitely great marketing generalists.

New AI tool: Today we’re releasing Claude Code for marketing.

Me: Skeptical but the launch video has 3M views so let’s take a look at it.

New AI tool: It does a marketer’s work in minutes by browsing, clicking and posting like a human would.

Me: Ahh so what it really does is spam the web with automated comments pretending to be me.

New AI tool: The marketing hire is now optional.

Me: Hahaha no.

At some point while building your product you will get an urge to become better at marketing. It’s very important that you listen to that urge and just get started.

It’s counterintuitive but one of the best marketing strategies is to underpromise and overdeliver. You will likely sacrifice some growth in the short term but all the word of mouth that will come after will more than make up for it. Luckily most people do the opposite.

When you search for “product hunt alternatives” the site that ranks first right below the AI overview is… Product Hunt itself.

There are a lot of benefits to doing something like this for your product. Not only do you drive potential users to your site instead of somewhere else.

You might also get another chance for them to consider what you sell. Unfortunately most founders are too scared by the idea of linking out to competitors.

But if you don’t control the narrative somebody else is going to and it won’t be in your favor!

building founder’s & Executive’s brands on Linkedin

Most coaches, consultants, and small B2B founders are stuck on LinkedIn.

They’re posting.
DMing.
Commenting.

Trying to be everywhere, but still not seeing steady leads.

The truth?
They’re putting in hours without a system that turns it into sales.

What usually follows:

- Chasing DMs that never go anywhere
- Posting more just to avoid being forgotten
- Paying ghostwriters or agencies who keep the audience and results when they leave
- A pipeline that dies the second you stop showing up

It’s exhausting. No time to sell. No space to scale.

There’s a simpler way.

I build AI-powered LinkedIn sales systems for coaches, consultants, and small B2B founders.
They run in under 30 minutes/day, work in your voice, and stay inside your business after setup.

In the last 2 years, I’ve helped 50+ clients:

- Add 3–7 extra sales calls/month
- Generate $40M+ in new opportunities
- Grow an engaged audience that actually converts

Recent results:

- Career coach → 10 qualified leads in the first week after launch
- SaaS founder → $300K in new opportunities in 6 months
- Agency owner → Six figures in the first year

If you want a LinkedIn system that brings in leads without living on LinkedIn, send me a message with “AI” and I’ll walk you through it.

I used to think corporate meeting culture was bullshit.

Then the last 3 months happened.

And I realised I was wrong about something important.

October through December was chaos for me. The kind where you're moving so fast you forget to breathe.

I invested in 2 early-stage startups (still figuring out if that was smart or stupid).

Closed 20 new clients for Parox Media

Offboarded a few who weren't the right fit anymore.

Lost some important things in my personal life that I'm still processing.

And somewhere in all of that noise, I had a crisis,

Am I a LinkedIn ghostwriter? 
Or am I building a video production company? 

What the hell am I actually doing?
Classic founder identity crisis.

But what changed my mind about meetings, 

When everything feels like it's spinning out of control, structure becomes oxygen.

Those 30-minute client calls, forced me to slow down and actually listen.

Those internal team syncs,  reminded me I'm not building this alone.

Those uncomfortable offboarding conversations, taught me that clarity is kindness.

I'm not saying I love hour long meetings with no agenda, still hate those.

But I've started to appreciate the ritual of showing up for people.

Of blocking time to think together instead of just reacting alone.
Of using conversation to cut through the noise in my own head.

Maybe that's what corporate meeting culture was always supposed to be.

Just humans trying to figure shit out together.
Anyway, that's where I'm at.

Still messy. Still figuring it out. Still building.

But at least now I show up to my calendar invites without resentment.

The client who ghosted you in 2025 just referred three people to you.

That's the compound interest of treating people well.

Most professionals track closing rates, revenue per client, quarterly targets.

But they miss the one metric that actually scales, how people feel after working with you.

I've watched this pattern repeat for years.

The founder who responds thoughtfully to every message even from people who can't afford their services builds a reputation that attracts inbound leads forever.

The consultant who goes silent after the contract ends? 
Always hunting for the next client.

Here's what treating people well actually means,

Responding to messages when there's no immediate opportunity. 

Sharing credit publicly. 

Delivering more than you promised. 

Being honest when something isn't working. 

Following up on people, not just deals.

It's not about being nice for the sake of it.

It's about understanding that every interaction is building or eroding your long-term reputation.

The investment compounds in ways you can't predict,

Referrals from people you worked with 3 years ago. 

Opportunities from someone who saw how you handled a difficult situation.

Trust that shortens sales cycles because people already know your character.

You can't fake this. You can't treat people well"as a tactic.

But when it's genuine it becomes the unfair advantage no competitor can replicate.

Most people never get past Level 1 with AI.

They throw in Write me a post and wonder why the output feels robotic.

Here's what actually separates amateur prompts from professional results,

Level 1: The Commander 

→ Write me a post.
→ You get speed, but zero substance. 
→ The AI is guessing what you want.

Level 2: The Architect 

→ Act as a content strategist. Build a LinkedIn post using this brief, audience, and tone.

→ Now you're adding structure. 
→ Quality jumps immediately because context exists.

Level 3: The Strategist 

→ Here's the audience, style, and examples. 
Build three options, critique them, and improve the best one. 

This is where iteration happens. 
You're not accepting first drafts, you're refining until it's right.

Level 4: The Master 

You are my Growth Engineer. Use context from Notion, Google Drive, and previous brand frameworks to draft this week's content plan. 

AI becomes part of your workflow. 
It learns your voice, references your data, and scales your output.

The difference between these levels?

Context.

Most people treat AI like a vending machine, input request, get output.

But the real power unlocks when you treat it like a collaborator who needs briefing.

Give it your:

Brand voice examples
Target audience details
Desired outcomes
Past work to reference

The ladder isn't about using fancier tools.

It's about how much context you're willing to provide.

What level are you operating at?

Ideas don't fail because they're wrong, they fail because founders can't execute fast enough.

You're sitting on something that could work, overthinking every detail, waiting for the perfect moment that doesn't exist.

Meanwhile someone else ships a worse version and takes the entire market while you're still in planning mode.

The market rewards speed, not perfection. 

Your customers don't need your product to be flawless, they need it to solve their problem right now.

Every day you wait is another day your competition gets ahead, learns from real users, and builds momentum you'll never catch.

Stop treating execution like it's optional, stop hiding behind strategy when you're just scared to ship something imperfect.

The founders who win aren't the ones with the best ideas, they're the ones who move fastest and fix problems in real time instead of trying to predict everything upfront.

Ship now, iterate later, or watch someone else do it first.
