helped 112+ founders get leads with an AI-powered system | $2.1M in client revenue

If you're a great coach or service provider, but nobody knows you exist

read this ↓

Your clients get results. 
You know your stuff inside out. 
You've put in the years.

But here's the problem:

Your inbox is quiet. 

Your content gets crickets. You've tried cold outreach — DMs, emails, maybe even ads — and got nothing but silence back.

You're the best-kept secret in your industry. 

And it's costing you everything. Right?

You don't need another course on "how to post." 
You don't need more motivation or inspiration.
You don't need someone telling you to "just be consistent."

You need a system.

One that brings qualified leads to YOU — so you stop chasing and start choosing who you work with.

That's exactly what we built.

With Authority Figures + my 1-on-1 support, we:

— Dial in your positioning so prospects instantly "get it"
— Build an inbound content system that attracts the right clients
— Turn LinkedIn into a predictable pipeline — using AI to move fast without burning out

Here's what that looks like in practice:

— Nicholas added $32K in new revenue in 8 weeks selling his new group program.
— Tobias secured $50K in new contracts and filled out his pipeline.
— Josh closed two deals in the first 6 weeks, hitting his first $10K+ month.
— JP closed 3 clients by dialing in his content and DM strategy.
— Linda closed her first $7,5K client within two months.
— Jon signed 3 clients and got a 2X+ ROI in 3 month
— Gabi closed €15,000 in revenue in the first 4 week
— Nicola signed 4 high-ticket clients within weeks.
— Laszlo closed 3 deals within the first 30 days.
— Julius closed his first $4,5K client within 2 months.

This works best if you already have a high-ticket offer, you deliver real results for clients, and you're done being invisible.

Stop wasting hours on bad design. Use Claude + Figma ↓

I just built the visual workflow for getting leads on LinkedIn.

Every week I see coaches and consultants burning time in Canva trying to make their content look professional.

Meanwhile I'm cranking out carousels, lead magnets, and banners in 20 minutes flat.

(40% of my lead magnets posts go viral with > 1,000 comments. Built with this exact workflow.)

2 tools. 0 design experience needed.

But 90% of service providers don't know how to use them together.

So I documented the whole thing:

→ Why your Canva graphics are killing your credibility
→ How Claude does the thinking so Figma just executes
→ The exact 20-minute workflow I use every week
→ 7 prompts that build your full LinkedIn visual system

Stop wasting hours on tasks AI can do. Use Claude Skills ↓

I built 7 Skills to handle your lead-gen on LinkedIn.

Every week I see coaches and consultants spending 6+ hours writing posts, planning content, crafting DMs — all manually.

Meanwhile I'm getting it done in under an hour.

Getting >500k impressions per week, and 1,000s of leads.

But most service providers don't even know Claude Skills exist — let alone how to use them for client acquisition.

So I'm giving away the whole vault:

→ Content Calendar Planner
→ LinkedIn Profile Optimizer
→ Comment Strategy Writer
→ LinkedIn Post Generator
→ CTA Handraiser Writer

Claude can now run tasks on your desktop while you sleep.

It's called Cowork. Here's how I use it to get leads on LinkedIn ↓

I've been testing it for the past week.

It writes posts, audits profiles, builds ICPs, does market research — all while I'm at the gym.

This is the biggest shortcut for LinkedIn I've seen in months.

But most coaches and consultants don't even know it exists.

So I built a short setup guide — from install to first result in under 20 minutes.

Claude is the smartest AI right now.

But 90% use it like ChatGPT. Steal these prompts ↓

Here's what most coaches and consultants do:

They type "write me a LinkedIn post about positioning" and then add 47 lines of "don't use jargon, don't sound like AI, don't use filler phrases."

That doesn't work.

I tested hundreds of prompts.
Build the right ones and run them.
This process alone replaced hours of guesswork.

Most people blame the AI.
The real problem is bad prompts.

So I'm giving away my top 50 Claude prompts — copy-paste version.

Use them to:

→ Attract clients from your content (not chase them)
→ Turn DMs into calls without pitch slapping
→ Nail how you talk about your offer
→ Figure out exactly who you help

How to get it:

• Follow (so I can DM you)

2. Gary Vee (content volume + platform strategy)
3. Russell Brunson (funnel psychology + storytelling)
4. Dan Kennedy (direct response + urgency tactics)
5. Seth Godin (Brand storytelling + Trust building)

Here’s what most people get wrong:

They use AI like a typing assistant.

𐄂 No strategic thinking
𐄂 No context setting
𐄂 No psychological depth

So their content sounds fine…
But it doesn’t convert.

Here’s what this mega prompt does:

→ Turn weak offers into hard-to-refuse ones
→ Rewrite vanilla content into lead-generating assets
→ Improve your messaging based on specific audience psychology

Instead of guessing what to write…

You get strategic input from 5 of the greatest marketing minds — synthesized into one prompt.

Comment “PROFILE” and I send it to your inbox.

Here’s what most people get wrong with their LinkedIn Profile:

𐄂 An About section that reads like a resume
𐄂 No clear reason for someone to DM or follow
𐄂 Generic headlines that don’t say who they help

→ An overall profile score (0–100) so you know exactly where you stand

7 ways I use Claude to get leads on LinkedIn.

Not content ideas. Actual clients. Here's the system ↓

1/ Feed Claude Your Voice First
☑ Give it examples of YOUR writing (posts, emails, DMs)
☑ Upload your best-performing content
☑ It becomes an extension of you — not a generic robot

2/ Nail Your Messaging With the One-on-One Method 
☑ Brainstorm your WHO, WHAT, and HOW 
☑ Write your problem statement from your client's perspective 
☑ Messaging that resonates — not messaging that sounds like everyone else

3/ Build Your Content Engine 
☑ Batch a week of content in under an hour 
☑ Start with one core idea — ask Claude for 3-5 angles 
☑ Consistent content without spending hours daily

4/ Turn Your Profile Into a Silent Salesperson 
☑ Rewrite your headline, about, and experience around client outcomes 
☑ Use the format: "I help [who] do [what] by [HOW]" 
☑ A profile that sells for you 24/7

5/ Create a DM System That Doesn't Pitch Slap
☑ Build personalized DM sequences focused on THEM
☑ Draft 5-10 openers for people who engage with your content 
☑ Start real conversations — not copy-paste spam

6/ Build a Simple Content-to-Client Funnel
☑ Map it out: post → engagement → DM → conversation → call → client 
☑ Build a simple lead magnet (1-2 pages max) 
☑ A clear path from stranger to client

7/ Iterate and Improve Every Single Week 
☑ Drop your top and worst posts into Claude for analysis
☑ Test new hooks and revisit messaging regularly 
☑ Get better every week — not just busier

⚠️ What Claude can't do (yet): 
→ You still need to provide context for your voice 
→ You still need to bring real words and data 
→ You still need to collect and analyze results yourself

Pro tip: 
Build a "Voice Bible" doc with your best posts and phrases. 
Upload it every session so Claude sounds like you — not like AI.

This is how you stop winging it and start using Claude the right way. 

♻️ Repost to help someone save 10+ hours a week

"I never know what to write about."

Cool guys, I got you – steal this playbook ↓

It took me years to figure LinkedIn out.

But once I cracked it, I grew to 85,000 followers and built a multi-six-figure business using LinkedIn and email. 

Not by posting random motivation quotes. 
Not by using AI to write my posts. 

By having a system.

Here's what most people get wrong.

They think they have a content problem. 

They don't.

They have a system problem.

You're opening LinkedIn, staring at the blank screen, posting something random, and wondering why nobody's reaching out.

That's not a strategy.

So I put together The LinkedIn Growth Playbook — completely free. 

Just the exact system I actually use and help our clients install:

Here's what's inside:

– How I come up with weeks of content ideas in one sitting
– The key mistakes I see coaches and consultants make
– My full content creation system — step by step
– The growth tactics that took me from 0 to 85k
– Tool tips that actually move the needle

+ I included 2 of our best-performing GPTs as a bonus.

This alone will save you 10+ hours of "what should I post?" panic every week.

Comment "PLAYBOOK" and I'll send it to your DMs.

I build decks (sales & pitches, not patios) | professional magician | out here makin' friends

I used to help founders raise/sell millions with beautiful decks.
Now, I’m using AI to help humans heal their inner world.

Same storytelling skills. Different stakes.

I’m Head of Product & Ops at a stealth mental wellness AI startup, building games that help humans heal their relationship with self (the ‘what happened to you’ pieces).

On here, I talk about:
- Mental health & dopamine: the games our brains play, how tech makes it worse/better
- Storytelling: whether it’s a deck, a product, or a habit… story drives behavior
- Ops & product in the wild: what’s working (and not) as we build
- Books: I read 100+ a year and steal the best ideas shamelessly

For you? Well, you tell me…

Founder? Need a deck or website → DM and I’ll intro you to my partner. 
Ops/prod person? Follow for ops + AI wisdom from the trenches. 
Interesting human? Send me your favorite book rec.

Now we’re friends!

John Linford

Remember that incredible girlfriend? 
The one doing the nonprofit? 
She’s my fiancée now :) 

Happy to share a glimpse of my personal life with my professional circle. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming 😂

Helping humans heal | talking ops, AI, & books | professional magician | out here makin’ friends

Hot take: think Apple’s gonna die.

They’ve done a beautiful job with their products.

I’m an Apple guy, writing this on a Mac.

That said, in the coming days/times, what’s going to be prioritized are the interconnected, well-trained, and ubiquitous AI platforms. 

And for all the merit a closed ecosystem had..
It might be killing them for the future.

Case in point: swapped their AI to Gemini.

I think it’s because they didn’t have sufficient stuff to train models on. 

Couldn’t make it good.

I think they need to pivot, and become die-hard hardware / physical product gurus (more than they already are), open up their ecosystem, and figure out a way to intersect with the growing tide.

Else their phones / computers are gonna get left in the dust by the coming AI-enabled wave.

Right? Wrong? 
Would love to spark some debate here.

Quickly seeing these skills becoming valuable in an AI world:
1.	Reading fast
2.	Generalist education
3.	Passion for liberal arts

Seems like a full circle moment to me.

The people thriving with AI (excluding builders) are the ones who know how to connect dots across disciplines, who see context, who ask better questions than machines can answer.

It's the: "I really like to code but in my spare time I research the intersection between over the board chess strategies and macroeconomics"

or 

"Somedays, I just wanna quit my high-level corporate product job so I can start a woodworking shop, designing custom iPad cases"

That kinda vibe. 

David Epstein called this years ago in Range:

“In a wicked world, breadth beats depth.”

In his lingo, it’s all about kind vs wicked frames.

Kind systems:	
- Clear rules
- Repeating patterns
- Immediate, accurate feedback
- Skills gained through repetition

Think: chess, golf, math

Wicked systems: 

- Feedback is delayed or misleading
- Rules are unclear or incomplete
- Patterns are inconsistent
- Experience can mislead

Think: business, leadership, innovation

Important to notice,
Wicked systems 
(almost always)
Involve people!

(only broke that up for emphasis lol)

As AI takes over kind tasks, 
humans become orchestrators,
Managing chaos thru minion-power. 

Which means the skills of managers become preeminent. 

Really seems like the system of STEM-focus, being technical, is about to flip on it’s head.

I’m trying to split my brain.

One half is slow.
Dialed.
Logical.
Meditative.
Principle-driven.

That’s the brain taking pen/paper notes.
Going on long walks. 
Sitting in silence.
Built for an older time. 

Other half is fast.
Task-switching.
Instictual. 
Keen. 
New. 

That’s the brain running four parallel agents.
Composing and responding instantly.
Referencing internal docs rapidly.
Built for a new age of speed. 

I think both are important. 

And learning about “fast-twitch” and “slow-twitch” brainpower is critical, and Thinking Fast and Slow is one of the best primers I’ve found for that.

Highly recommend, you read this one?

Amazing how many conventions from previous bosses carry over.

I still:
- run trainings like Dave Lainhart
- do sales calls like James Dawson
- do my calendar invites like Matt W Gore 
- adjudicate pro formas like Jed McCarthy
- think about strategy like Mark Josephson
- orchestrate project management like Matt W Gore
- run convergent/divergent thinking like Nathan Wallace
- think about stakeholder needs like Anna Schena Walsh

And so much more. 

Feeling grateful on this Friday. 

I’d love to hear about your conventions.
Who’s inspired you.
Let’s get some feel-good in the comments.

Anyone else think about how you could kill it as an influencer, because you do such cool stuff on a day-to-day basis, but you don’t want to sell your soul or cheapen the incredible real-life experiences you’re having by manufacturing the setting for content? 

Cuz same.

Lenny’s Podcast has been a hack.

One of the recent episodes with Lazar Jovanovic (professional vibe-coder at Lovable) helped me immensely as I’m trying to build out workflows that massively increase my productivity. Two salient points: 

- don’t spend credits iterating
- build in parallel

The first bit is counterintuitive.
How we used to use AI (read: chat) was like this:

‘Here’s an idea’
*ok interesting response*
‘Here’s some clarification’
*ok now that’s slightly better*
‘Here’s even more conversation’
*oh shoot now we’ve lost the plot*

AI loses memory/context quickly.
It’s getting there, but not there yet. 

So, better to start, feed it some ideas, but then take that *slightly* better idea, and toss it into a new chat/tab, then slightly improve with one extra bit of brainstorming. 

Then, when you have all the pieces built out, you feed the final framework, implementation plan, design inspiration in one swoop, and let it run. You can build with confidence then. 

The other piece should have been obvious:
Build with multiple agents/chats at once.

Instead of staring down at the one chat screen,
I’m now in Code, Cowork, and Chat (Claude)
All at one, running different projects. 

Once they have good prompts, the rest is just reading and prompting for the AI to continue on it’s track, which means you can context switch easier.

Starting to feel the additional benefits in a big way.

Feeling like I’m tapping at the promised productivity hacks of AI. 

What’s been a helpful hack you’ve been using as you’re building with AI?

Want to invite your pondering on this:
Lucky versus leverage.

The more entrepreneurs and business folks I engage with, especially the high-flying successful ones, the more I’m convinced your first major win is luck.

Prevailing economic winds.
Problem/pain knowledge.
Right mentors, right time.
Solution earned insights.
Right offer, right time.

List goes on.

Anyone who is super successful and doesn’t give some small nod to luck is kidding themselves, IMO (open to counterarguements).

However!

Once you’ve gotten lucky, all the sudden…
You’ve got leverage. 

You’ve got connections
Equity
Money
Reputation
Previous ‘at bats’.

You can leverage those for additional success.

But that first catapulting?

Lotta luck in there.

Disagree? Agree? Tell me.

Product at early-stage startup means trampoline.
Bouncing from strategic to tactical, up n’ down. 

Acting as:

Product manager
(what are we doing this sprint)

Head of product 
(what are we doing this quarter)

Chief product officer
(what’s happening in five years)

Curious, what are the rules of thumb that guide when you hire to separate and reassign these combined roles? When should we think about giving other people my 3-4 extra jobs?

I might have just seen the death knell of Saas. 

We implemented EOS over the last few months.

Highly recommend, gets everyone rowing well.

But we’ve been using this software to run mtgs. 
Called Ninety, it’s…fine. Does the job.

But I’ve been meaning to play around with Replit. 

So, I went to Claude,
Fed it a bunch of context,
Few images and tech docs,
Created a solid Replit prompt…

And in two hours of tinkering,
I remade Ninety.

Full stop.
It works. 

We’re gonna start using it next week. 

For reference, we were about to add a bunch more team members to this platform. At $10/seat, we were gonna be paying $100/mo for this thing.

The money isn’t the point.
The point is that I built it. 

And dumb SaaS should be quaking in their boots. 

If you’ve got a simple web page that you’re charging a comfortable monthly price for…beware. Me and my little army of AI agents is coming for you. 

Whaddya think? There a reckoning coming? 
And if this is ‘dumb SaaS’, what’s smart?
