LinkedIn just got much more important for creative professionals, business owners, and consultants - and most people haven’t noticed it yet.
I’m breaking down what’s changed with LinkedIn, AI's impact on the platform, why its evolving so quickly, and why you need to be thinking about it differently in 2026.
This isn’t a session about posting hacks, algorithms, or chasing engagement. It’s about understanding why LinkedIn has quietly become the most strategically valuable place to publish content, share expertise, and be discovered by the right people.
If you’ve been saying to yourself “I should probably take this more seriously”, this live stream will tell you where you need to focus and why.
Whether you’re building a personal brand, running a small business, or navigating a shifting professional landscape, this conversation will give you a stronger strategic lens for using LinkedIn in 2026 and beyond.
