Welcome to my corner of LinkedIn — where corporate marketing meets creator economy.

By day, I'm the Associate Director of B2B Social & Content at Business Insider, where I lead organic social strategy for our advertising division. My focus: highlighting the impactful business journalism coming out of BI Studios, amplifying BI Live events, and building BI's first-ever employee content program. Prior to this, I helped take TIME, a 100-year-old brand, into a social-first future, amplifying tentpole events like TIME100 and Woman of the Year, and leading marketing and social for TIMEPieces, TIME's web3 initiative.

By night (and weekends), I'm a content creator and creative entrepreneur. In 2025, I scaled my creator business to six figures while working full-time. Much of my content explores how corporate creatives can balance both worlds without burning out (or getting fired). As a creator, I've partnered with brands like Lyft, Yahoo, Sprout Social, Mailchimp, and more to bring my community of social media and marketing professionals resources that will elevate and uplift their careers.

I also share with my audience of entry- and mid-level marketing professionals on Linkedin back-to-basics marketing insights that help them build real social media and digital marketing skills, not just chase trends.

If you haven't gotten enough of me here, you can also find me on TikTok and Instagram sharing my love for skincare, guiding women through manifesting success, and sharing my life as a corporate creative with my audience of almost 30,000 combined followers.

Lastly (there's MORE?!?!), I am a first-generation Haitian-American 🇭🇹, a Brooklyn native, and a dog mom to my Staffy, Bailey.

I spent a year wondering why I was never asked to work with Hootsuite again. 

Recently, I found out the reason.

As a child of immigrants, and a first generation American, I’m often thinking about the footprint I’m leaving behind.

Much of what I do is for the support, wellness, and appreciation of the people who brought me to this country.

People who came here, learned the difficult language, graduated from college, became professionals, and navigated systems set up to make them fail.

All so I can one day get on the internet and post my silly little videos and make more than any of them could ever fathom.

Today, those same people carry around their passports regularly as proof they belong here — a country they’ve been in for 30-40 years. 

Just in case they are detained. 

Just in case they are harassed. 

Yesterday, I found out that I have never been asked to work with Hootsuite again because I was being divinely protected.

And now I will never again question whether the opportunities I don’t receive are about me.

The same way I will never again entertain working with brands that profit off my back, while supporting the hunting of my people.

Me trying to collect W2s, 1099s, W9s, file 1120-S, complete form 1040, and pay quarterly payments, all without getting 51/50'd.

Last week, I attended Northwestern Mutual’s Rich in Knowledge, Rich in Legacy dinner led by Anthony H. Williams, CFP®.

At the table were five incredible Black women in media, openly discussing something Black people are discouraged to talk about: MONEY.

As a first-gen woman, my understanding of money has been an amalgamation of what little my parents taught me, what gaps I could fill with YouTube, and what I've had to learn the hard way.

But finding myself in these spaces confirms that my path, although often uncertain and led only by faith, is still the best direction for me to take. These women were honest, grounded, ambitious, and straight up baddies.

I am so happy to be in a world where Black women can and continue to be all of the above.

Thank you for inviting me, Anthony, and I'm so validated in my decision to partner with Zoe Hirsh- MBA and Northwestern Mutual for financial advising 🥂

Live social coverage for events is an actual nightmare. Picture this: You're on the ground at a major tentpole event.

You’re capturing moments in real-time while:

→ An offsite editor is requesting specific moments to cut social clips.
↑ The videographers and photographers are sending you raw shots.
← You're writing a copy that needs fast approvals.

And you need to go live before the moment becomes irrelevant.

So the most reasonable solution would be throwing the whole team into a group chat, right? Lowering the walls of those work/life boundaries in exchange for quicker comms and a viral moment.

And it’s fine, until it’s not. And you're sending each other content ideas in that same group chat months later.

Zenzap gives boundaries back to on-the-ground teams in a big way.

Real-time work communication that stays separate from your personal life. Your texts stay personal. Zenzap stays professional.

→ Hidden phone numbers (no forced number exchanges)
→ Company data stays secure and off personal devices
→ Set working hours for notifications
→ Assign tasks directly inside chats

For anyone doing live social and events teams, your work no longer has to bleed into your life. This is the tool you've been missing.

Your first 30 days as a social media manager are about implementation.
Your first 30 days as a social media director are about translation.

As a manager, you're focused on:

→ Learning the tools and workflows
→ Understanding the content calendar
→ Auditing accounts and identifying gaps
→ Building relationships with cross-functional teams

Content. Community. Culture. Then conversions.

As a director, you're focused on:

→ Building relationships with executives
→ Learning how social ladders up to company KPIs
→ Understanding business goals and revenue priorities
→ Translating strategy into language leadership actually understands

Filling gaps strategically.

The shift isn't just about seniority. It's about what you're being measured on.

Managers are measured on execution. Did the content go out? Did it perform?

Directors are measured on impact. How did social contribute to business goals? What's the ROI?

If you're making the jump from manager to director, the biggest adjustment isn't the workload. It's learning to communicate your strategy in terms of revenue, visibility, and business outcomes, not just engagement and impressions.

Your execs don't need to know the nuance of your content calendar. They need to know how every piece of your strategy connects to something they care about.

That's the real skill gap.

Ask me how I know 🙃

I know it's frowned upon to talk about other people's work on here but please let me know when we'll be ready to discuss the aggressive Loccitane hand cream (guerrilla) influencer campaign happening on TikTok right now.

Authenticity in B2C IS NOT the same as authenticity in B2B.
Authenticity in B2C IS NOT about showing your work.
Authenticity in B2C IS NOT about transparency.

Authenticity in B2B IS about pulling back the curtain.
Authenticity in B2B IS about sharing frameworks and processes.
Authenticity in B2B IS about letting your audience see how the brand "thinks."

B2C audiences want to feel like the brand 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 them.

B2B audiences want to feel like they 𝘨𝘦𝘵 the brand.

One is personality-driven. The other is transparency-driven.

The top dawgs are in Davos this week. So what better time to explain wtf I do in B2B social and content than now, the busiest week in B2B ever?

Here's a week-in-the-life in B2B, Davos edition:

→ Lots of coffee. Scroll through overnight mentions and updates. Perpetually behind because today is yesterday in Switzerland.

→ Social reporting and content finalizations. Brand and EGC content approved. Assets edited... again. Final approvals secured.

→ Panel recordings watched and clipped. Pull top quotes and moments for brand and EGC (exec) content. Review the Davos Whatsapp that's been live since 7 AM for context. Send for review.

→ Catch on-the-ground reports from the newsroom. What're things looking like on the snowy streets of Davos? What brands stand out? Which activations are pulling our execs in? Rewrite, reposition, and report to marketing and advertising audiences through a B2B scope.

→ Work with photographers and events team on the ground to capture shots, quotes, and key moments for social and wrap decks.

→ Amplify every single past project, partnership, and adjoining offer mentioned on the ground, at panels, etc. The people need context 👌 

→ Lunch? Maybe. Probably eating while on a call with about positioning our offers strategically.

→ Remind execs to take pics. Who did you meet? What did you discuss? Create strategic retargeting plan to capitalize on relationships.

→ Exec content writing check-in. Making leadership sound like leadership.

→ Brand communications. Internal updates, external messaging, making sure everyone's aligned.

→ Log off. Mentally draft tomorrow's newsletter in the shower anyway. Focus: Event offers.

And somehow still feeling like I didn’t do enough 🙃

Business Insider in Davos, 2026

This is the first year I've set revenue goals that actually scare me.

Not because they're unrealistic. But because hitting them means I have to grow, not just produce more.

Here's how I'm approaching goal-setting this year:

→ Start with last year's numbers. What did I actually make? What types of partnerships came through? That's my baseline — not a guess, but proof of what's possible.

→ Set revenue goals AND expense goals. I mapped out what I'll spend on tools, contractors, and resources. Because revenue means nothing if you don't know what it costs to run your business.

→ Pay yourself intentionally. I set a salary I want to pay myself from my business this year. Not "whatever's left over." A real number.

→ Build in rest. Even with ambitious goals, I blocked out weeks with no content, no sponsored work. Scaling without recovery is just burnout with better branding.

The mindset shift that's making this feel different?

I'm not trying to overhaul everything. I'm getting a little better at each part of my business ✓ learning bookkeeping ✓ tweaking my editing style ✓ being more strategic instead of more anxious 😅

Scary goals don't mean chaotic execution. They mean growing with intention.

What's one goal you're setting this year that makes you a little nervous?

Personal Brand Strategist & Networking Coach → I help entrepreneurs, executives & teams build brands to attract clients, talent & opportunity | Family Man | Connector | AI & Blockchain Bull | Hot Sauce Aficionado🌶️

I help founders, entrepreneurs, and executives build businesses by becoming trusted, visible, and referenceable in their space. My work sits at the intersection of personal brand strategy, go-to-market execution, and AI-enabled operations. I help people understand how to show up across LinkedIn, search, and AI-driven discovery and how that visibility turns into real opportunity over time.

Currently, I'm working with Brandi (mybrandi.ai), helping companies understand how they show up inside AI-generated answers and recommendations, and how brand visibility, trust, and demand are increasingly shaped by systems they do not directly control.

Seeing this shift up close has changed how I help individuals and teams show up online.

A core part of my approach is what I call Voice Enablement with AI.

Instead of writing for people, I teach them how to use AI to think, draft, and create content in their own voice. Most clients stop writing from scratch and start editing instead. Content creation becomes faster, more consistent, and still unmistakably human.

How? Because we are using your actual voice!

What I help with most often:

• Founder and executive positioning and LinkedIn profile strategy
• Personal narrative clarity for humans, AI systems, and decision-makers
• Relationship-based networking and social selling without pressure tactics
• Using AI to streamline content creation, engagement, and workflows
• Measuring what actually matters in brand and go-to-market efforts

Alongside my advisory work, I take on select fractional go-to-market and operations roles, supporting teams during growth, transition, or strategic realignment.

I’m known for helping people:

• Clarify what makes them meaningfully different
• Build trust before asking for anything
• Turn visibility into opportunity over time
• Turn chaos into organized chaos ;)

I call this manifesting serendipity.

It’s not luck. It’s intention, consistency, and showing up in the right conversations long before you need something. It's being in someone's orbit often enough that you become the first person they think of when they need your product or service. 

It's about being top of mind. 

Outside of work, I’m a husband, a dad of two, an early-morning lifter, and a proud hot sauce aficionado 🌶️. 

If you’re building a brand, a business, or your next chapter, I’d love to jam with you.

Founder

I help executives, founders, and their teams build magnetic brands that attract clients, talent, and opportunity on LinkedIn. 

My services include: 

My services include: 
- Profile Optimization
- LinkedIn feature training
- Core content strategy
- Ghostediting (ask me about it)
- Content performance analysis 
- Sales Navigator training

Liam's Brand Stand was born out of my passion for personal branding and belief that LinkedIn is the ultimate platform for professionals and organizations to manifest serendipity and unlock opportunity.

This passion started as a fascination that turned into a hobby, then to a side hustle, and now, my full-time focus. I started creating content and being more intentional about building my brand here in January 2020 and since then I've amassed 35,000 followers and my content has garnered ~23,000,000 impressions, ~600,000 reactions, and ~100,000 comments. 

Completely organically.

Pretty crazy, especially when you consider I'm just a suburban dad who took to LinkedIn as a way to have conversation with other adults while cooped up in my house with my wife, a toddler, and an infant during a pandemic. 

That's the kind of opportunity that exists on LinkedIn and I'm on a mission to help more people experience it for themselves.

LIAM DARMODY

Today I stepped on the scale & clocked 278lbs. 

I know that sounds like a weird flex, but I have not been in the 270s since August 2016.

Nearly 10 years. 

When I started my business in August 2023, I was 347lbs. 

I couldn’t walk a mile without running out of breath.
I couldn’t walk upstairs without the same.
I feared my kids asking me to play because I knew how hard that would be for me. 

I had spent the better part of 30 years using food as medicine to heal wounds from childhood, which started at A&D burgers in Mississauga, Ontario. 

I decided enough was enough. 

Joined a gym.

Started with 3x per week, which was all I could do back then. 

Then 4x per week. 
Then 5x per week.
And now 6x per week (sometimes ;)

it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do, not just because of how challenging the physical workouts are, but because it hasn't garnered massive results overnight.

I've been an all or nothing kind of guy since the beginning of time and I've started and stopped trying to lose weight many times before.

I wanted three months of hard work to magically undo 30 years of unhealthy habits.

It doesn't work like that.

I'm at the point now where the scale doesn't even really matter that much to me because I've realized that which really matters is that I'm showing up in that gym every weekday.

putting in the work to be healthier.

day by day.
Week by week.
Month by month. 
Year by year. 

I may still be round but I'm in the best shape of my life. 

And it feels amazing.

My advice to anyone who has struggled with weight loss is to try this: 

1) Find a gym with coaches & classes. Expert accountability and community are massive motivators. 

2) Go 3-5 days per week for 3 months. Non-negotiable. 

3) Meal prep. Every Sunday I throw 4 lb of ground chicken, a bag of hash brown potatoes, and 15 eggs on a blackstone flat top and make a meal for myself that has 100 g of protein. That's breakfast after the gym every day. 

If you do that, you will notice a change in yourself, not just on the scale but mentally. You will start to believe that you are capable of things you never thought you were capable of. 

And that will motivate you to keep going.

I’m still on my journey. I’ve got a long way to go, but I have zero doubt that I will get there now. 

And that is something I haven’t felt ever before. 

It’s liberating as hell. 

Good luck. 

My DMs are open if you ever want to jam about it.

I’ve got to go carry both of my kids up the stairs now, and I’m proud to say I won’t be winded.

This is not okay. 
This is not what America is supposed to be.
This is not what “law enforcement” looks like. 

This is not “the land of the Free”
This is not “the Home of the Brave” 
This is not “one country, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”

This is barbaric.
This is cowardice.
This is fear mongering. 
This is absolutely devastating.

This is the execution of an American citizen exercising his unalienable constitutional rights. 

And it’s f*cking unacceptable.

I am astounded that this continues to happen with seemingly zero repercussions. 

What are we doing? 
How did we get here?

And most importantly, how do we stop it? 

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on politically, if you are willing to stand by and watch this without speaking up or taking action, you’re not my kind of people. 

Political differences are acceptable—appreciated, even. 

Staying silent as American citizens are murdered by masked “men” beating their chests and brandishing weapons to fuel their bravado is not. 

My heart goes out to the families who have been impacted by these devastating displays of government overreach. 

I cannot begin to comprehend your pain and nothing I say could possibly fill the void left by such a tragic loss.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t say something. 

I will never forget this image. 

Especially not at the polls.

☮️&❤️

This one's for my fellow dog owners... 

The other day, a weird triangle box showed up on my doorstep while I was working and when I opened it, I found this AI-generated portrait of my dog, Lucky DarmoDoodle, looking far more classy and refined than is reality. 

Turns out my wife found this site called Vogue Paws that will turn any photo of your hound into a portrait worth framing. 

This is not an ad for that service, I just think it's cool. 

I'm curious...

Do you have a pet?

Dear Leaders, 

Please stop putting random hour-long meetings on people's calendars without context. 

Sincerely, 
Everyone who's ever worked for someone else.

Underrated life hack: 

Make others feel seen, heard, & understood.

Too many people think that all you have to do is show up a few times per week on Linkedin, write a few posts, and start drinking from a lead firehose. That doesn’t work here anymore.

5 years ago it may have, but not now. 

Building your brand/business on Linkedin requires so much more than simply publishing content.

Linkedin is a signal farm and your ability to pay attention to and engage with those signals is what determines your success here. 

I view it as a funnel exercise.

Once you see it that way, you can’t unsee it. 

I always say that Linkedin is the world’s largest CRM, and the leads are already built in and pre-qualified for you (if you build your network right). 

This is the Linkedin Signal Funnel. 

Do you view it this way, too? 

Hi5,
LD

graphical user interface, text, application

Today I went for a 30-minute walk and talk where I actually held my iPhone up to my ear the entire time like it was 2007. It was weird. Do not recommend.

I bet I’ve said “I wish I knew how to code” hundreds of times over the last two decades. I definitely have had no shortage of app ideas. 

I’ve been hearing so much about vibecoding and dabbled a little bit, but never built anything that actually worked on my phone.   

Until last night, when Sitting in front of the TV watching football, I vibecoded my first functional mobile app using ChatGPT and Claude Code.

I:

-> installed Node.js
—> used it to run Expo from the terminal
—->used Expo Go on my phone to preview the app

Things I knew nothing about prior. 

And in 2 hours I coded a functional MVP of an app I’ve been thinking was a good idea since becoming a father. 

It ain’t pretty (yet), but it’s functional. 

And I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, not to mention I really enjoyed the whole experience. It’s kind of like solving a puzzle.

All in my native tongue. 
No programming knowledge necessary. 

What a time to be alive! 

I’m curious… 

Have you used AI to build any software yet? 

Hi5
LD
🌶️

Are you a generalist or a specialist? 

I spent the better part of the first twenty years of my career feeling pretty insecure about the fact that I was more of a Swiss Army knife than a specialist. 

I was genuinely surprised when I would get new opportunities with higher titles because we've been taught to believe that you don't climb the ladder unless you have a very specific set of skills and scope. 

But being a generalist has always been my natural motion. I’ve always been too curious and too fascinated by too many things to just focus on one. 

These days I see articles about how “the future belongs to generalists” and companies are focusing on cultivating T-shaped talent—people with depth in one area and breadth across many others. 

I'm excited about this narrative and a lot more comfortable embracing that jack-of-many trades moniker nowadays than ever before.

Excited about the future.

I’m curious: 

Do you consider yourself more of a specialist or generalist? 

Hi5,
LD
🌶️

P.S. this post started as a comment on Conor Grennan’s recent post about generalists. Go follow him for fantastic AI thought leadership content.

I don’t know about you, but I’m seeing a lot of new faces viewing/following/connecting these days and for the most part they are exactly the types of people I generally want to be talking to:

Founders at tech companies
Fractional executives 
Executive coaches 
Marketing folks
Comms folks
Ops folks
AI folks 

Come to think of it, that is a lot. I guess I like to talk to a wide variety of people, but regardless, I’m seeing a lot more of them and I like it. 

I think LinkedIn’s new 360Brew AI system is brewin! 

How’s LinkedIn treating you these days? 

Hi5,
LD
🌶️

I just crossed 300,000 words whispered through Wispr Flow 
(apparently that’s the equivalent of three books!) 
Over the last six months, I’ve dictated an average of 103 words per minute, across 79 different apps. Slack. LinkedIn comments. Emails. Texts. Notes. Everywhere.

Wispr Flow is the best tool I found in 2025. 

It’s one of those special products that revealed a problem I didn’t realize I had—I didn’t realize how much mental load typing created until I didn’t have to do it anymore.

Same way Uber changed how I thought about taxis.
Same way Tesla changed how I thought about driving.

Once I stopped typing and started thinking out loud, everything just felt so much more natural.

With AI, I can dictate stream-of-consciousness thoughts and let the machine do the cleanup. The result is faster output and more authentic writing. I’m no longer switching modes from “thinking” to “typing.” 

I just think and talk. 

That’s a massive unlock.

I’m usually an early adopter with a pretty high bar, which means I moves on quickly from most new products I try. 

Not this one. 

Wispr Flow is now core to how I work.

If you want to try it, you get 2,000 words free. Fair warning though… there’s a very good chance you’ll end up paying the $15/month.

(Sorry, not sorry)

Check it out here and get in flow!!!!

Hi5,

🌶️

P.S. Not a paid partnership. I just genuinely love this product!

It's now been a little more than three years since ChatGPT launched on November 30th, 2022. And it's so wild how much AI is changing virtually every aspect of our lives. 

I started using ChatGPT the day it came out and was a paid user within a week.

Then Claude hit the scene and I started using that. 
Then Perplexity. 
Then Gemini. 
Then Grok. 

ChatGPT's first mover advantage is strong in my case, which gives it an unfair advantage over the others because I do use it as my default for most things. 

I like Claude better for writing. 

I'm intrigued to see how much market share Gemini is gaining though I haven't really committed much time to using Gemini myself.  

I don't really mess with Grok. 

I know some people who are all-in on one thing. I know other people who use different LLMs for different purposes. I think I fall into the latter bucket but ChatGPT remains my primary for most things. And I struggle to balance usage across all effectively. 

I'm now at the point where I might be looking for that thing I did the other day and having to check multiple LLMs. 

One of my goals in 2026 is to streamline my AI stack and focus on deciding which one is really the best one for me all-around rather than defaulting to ChatGPT because it's been around for me the longest.

And so, I'm curious...

If you could only use ONE of the major AI LLMs going forward, which one would you pick? BONUS POINTS for telling us why in the comments. 

The author can see how you vote. Learn more

If I had to pick just two social networks to spend time on, it would be Substack and LinkedIn. 

Why? 

Because they're pretty complementary to one another and most people on Substack link to their LinkedIn profile, you can easily find and follow in both places. 

Admittedly, I spend more time on LinkedIn than I do Substack right now, because I’ve built a larger and more engaged following here. But I plan to increase the time I spend on Substack significantly.

Why? 

Because Substack lets me build a more direct, owned connection with my audience and because it’s a much better platform from a usability standpoint. 

It’s like Substack has gone to all the other socials, taken notes about what sucks, and built the solution. 

I’m increasingly starting to view the two this way: 

Linkedin is where you build your personal brand. 
Substack is where you build (and monetize!) your personal media empire. 

Linkedin is top of funnel.
Substack is middle of funnel. 

Going forward, I’m: 

Incredibly bullish on Substack. 
Incredibly bullish on LinkedIn. 
Insanely bullish on the two of them paired together. 

Are you on substack?

“DAD!! Stop using ChatGPT to play Monopoly!” 

Whoops.

You had one job…

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gone to an ATM in the last 365 days. Today was one of those rare visits (to get money for babysitter tonight, which is literally my only use case for cash anymore), and of course…

Unexpected benefit of taking two weeks off of LinkedIn: “it can only get better from here” 🤪Happy to be back. I love this place.

Appreciation post for founders who value operations & core operating principles: 388 impressions. Post about ATM not functioning: 10,000 impressions. Checks out. 

Remember: exciting or frustrating as they may be, impressions are not the metric that matters most on Linkedin. Far from it. 

Fill your network with active people who might be interested in seeing your content and post about: 

Who you are
What you know
Why you're here
How you help

Start conversation with those who show interest

Consistency & patience compounds over time.

One day that 388 impression post might bring in a opportunity. 
Or maybe the 10,000 impression post does it.

The point is: 

When in doubt, zoom out. 

It's not about the performance of each individual post. 
It's about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. 

We're building personal brands here, folks, and those last as long as we do (and beyond), so don't let short-term frustration prevent long-term success. 

How do you handle ups and downs? 

Hi5. I'm rooting for you,

I don't hit play on many LinkedIn videos.
 
But when Jule Kim, PCC Kim posts, I watch.
 
Not just because her content is good. It's because she's one of the few people on this platform who can hold my ADHD brain's attention long enough to actually finish what she started.
 
Nearly a year ago, I DM'd her and told her I loved her videos. 
 
Eventually we jumped on a virtual coffee that turned into a two-hour conversation that felt like catching up with an old friend, even though we'd never actually met.
 
At some point she mentioned wanting to start a podcast and she asked if I'd be interested in co-hosting. 
 
And so... we're did!
 
Permission Not Required is our answer to all the things we think but don't say. 
 
The insecurities we hide. 
The vulnerability we're afraid to show. 
The human stuff that gets filtered out of our carefully curated professional feeds.
 
In a digital world increasingly being dominated by AI, we can't afford to lose the human element.
 
Who we are matters.
How we feel matters.
What we think matters.
 
And we shouldn't let our own doubts and insecurities convince us otherwise.
 
Our first episode is live now. 
 
If you've ever felt like you had to ask permission to be yourself—this one's for you.

https://lnkd.in/eGe7cDnt
 
Would love to know: 
 
What's something you think but rarely say out loud professionally? We'd love to know what you'd love to hear! 
 
Hi5, 
LD 
🌶️ 
 
p.s. you can really tell who the true video pro is based on the photo below, eh? I look like a hostage being interrogated in a dark room while she's all about the chill vibes. This is going to be fun.

Thank you, Paul Carney, for this glorious AI masterpiece. I'm not big on cash, but I could get used to carrying these around 🤖
