Some people have suggested one of my predictions for 2026 is unfounded, how dare they?!

“2️⃣ Video isn’t optional anymore”

https://lnkd.in/eQf7UqYz

It’s like it’s the fashionable thing to do – I get it – so jump on the bandwagon, eh, Nigel?

Well, no, actually.

My thanks to Joe Lander this morning for perfectly demonstrating why video IS becoming so important. It has more impact than images, it increases dwell time and is only going to get better!

Companies like https://www.dicapri.you/ are making it easier for everyone to take their first step.

This is just a bit of fun, but the next iterations are going to be fascinating, don’t you agree?

How to search better (OFF LinkedIn) 🚀

Right now, a lot of people are panicking about LinkedIn’s new Brew360 changes.

❌ Search is changing
❌ Reach is getting squeezed
❌ Some features have gone
❌ Others feel hidden behind “Premium + wishful thinking”

But here’s the thing.

I’m not worried. At all.

Because I’ve never relied on LinkedIn’s search options to do the heavy lifting for me!

I’ve always used Boolean search properly.

And I’ve always used Google to find what LinkedIn prefers to hide. 🫣

And guess what?

It still works. Beautifully. ✅

Boolean isn’t a geeky trick.

It’s a commercial skill.

Most people are clicking LinkedIn filters and wondering why nothing shows up.
Meanwhile, I’m slicing through LinkedIn data via Google:

✅ site:linkedin.com/in/
✅ AND, OR, NOT
✅ phrases, wildcards, parentheses
and more…

This works for CEOs, recruiters, founders, jobseekers, sales pros, and creators.
In short, anyone trying to find people, seeking insights, or looking for new opportunities.

Which is most of us.

I’ve packaged everything I know into this resource:

➡️ A structured 'How to Do Boolean Search' guide. ⬅️

Updated for 2026

Google vs LinkedIn, side by side

With examples, comparisons, and real-world use cases

🧐 TL;DR

🌶️ Don’t let Brew360 limit you. 

LinkedIn may be narrowing the doors, but Google is wide open.

Boolean still shines.

This is genuinely one of the most valuable resources I’ve shared on LinkedIn.

📌 Grab the PDF ⬇️

✅ Use it.
✅ Save it.
✅ Share it.

Ask questions. Share it with your team. 

Or don’t… and enjoy having an unfair advantage 😉

If this helped you even a little, let me know why in the comments. Thanks. 🙏🏻
