LinkedIn isn’t just for job seekers anymore—and if you're still treating it that way, you're already 10 steps behind. In this no-holds-barred episode, Christopher bulldozes through outdated perceptions of LinkedIn and drops three underutilized tactics that actually move the needle.
From redefining how to treat LinkedIn groups to utilizing events for genuine networking, to exploring the brand-new LinkedIn Services Marketplace, this episode is packed with tactical gold. Plus, Christopher shares his top AI productivity hack—because no, it’s not just about asking ChatGPT to “write a caption.”
What’s inside:
- Why Facebook-first strategies are the most enormous red flag in B2B
- How to treat LinkedIn like a real-world networking event (no more digital cold-calling nonsense)
- 3 powerful LinkedIn levers you're probably NOT using:
- Groups — not dead, just misunderstood. Learn how to find the right ones, post with relevance, and turn niche convos into targeted visibility.
- Events — use them to pre-network, post-network, and position yourself as the expert before anyone even hits the expo floor.
- LinkedIn Services Marketplace — still under the radar, but already generating leads and closed deals for Christopher. Yes, really.
Forget the “just post more” advice. This episode is your LinkedIn reality check. Chris unpacks the overlooked tools that actually move the needle—no hype, no hacks, just strategy that converts.
If you’re done playing it safe and ready to make LinkedIn work like a channel, not a chore, this is your sign.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
