The Linkedin Famous Podcast

Tim Davidson didn’t become LinkedIn famous by playing it safe. He became unforgettable by leaning into his quirks: slicing fruit on video, wearing loud shirts, and lugging cardboard signs to B2B events. What started as scrappy experiments turned into a personal brand moat that now fuels his consultancy, B2B Riz. It wasn’t overnight success. Tim failed three times at LinkedIn before finding tractio...

Hootsuite’s CEO Irina Novoselsky has turned her personal LinkedIn feed into a bona-fide growth channel. Early experiments taught her that “leading with product is just propaganda” that repels readers, so she flipped to a give-first cadence Hootsuite calls “nine times before you take once”. That mindset shift, paired with a ruthlessly consistent 20-to-30-minute daily routine of posting and high-val...

Picture a CEO who treats LinkedIn less like a résumé warehouse and more like a personal blog feed—every post a mini-broadcast engineered from fresh customer data, punchy storytelling, and a dash of AI. That’s Peter Caputa IV. Armed with his marketing team and a “PeteGPT” content engine that mines interviews and survey insights, he shows up in the feed almost daily, rewrites most of the drafts hims...

Two fractional CMOs and hosts of the podcast Blame it on Marketing —Emma Davies and Ruta Sudmantaite—explain how their meme-heavy side-podcast became an unlimited content engine for LinkedIn, keeping them top-of-feed even when inspiration runs dry. Then they fire shots: in its “current form,” LinkedIn is flat-out “overrated” and bloated with gimmicks like ebook-bait and engagement pods. They argue...

Adam Robinson didn’t just build a business—he built an audience that became a business advantage. As the founder of Retention.com and R!B2B, Adam used LinkedIn to carve out a unique voice in the crowded martech space. No content calendar. No ghostwriters. Just bold, polarizing posts and relentless consistency. In this episode, he joins Brad to break down how he grew demand from scratch using nothi...

What happens when a burned-out marketer starts posting on LinkedIn just to heal—and accidentally builds a thriving business, a bold personal brand, and a cult-following in B2B SaaS? In this episode, Brad sits down with Tas Bober, founder of Scroll Lab and co-host of the Notorious B2B podcast, to unpack how she went from “sporadic poster” to one of the most recognizable (and hilarious) voices on th...

Neal Goyal didn’t have a LinkedIn strategy. He had a quota and a deadline, and an intuition that content could work better than cold outreach. What started as a personal experiment quickly turned into a top-of-funnel engine that helped him scale Tapcart’s pipeline, close enterprise deals, and become one of the most trusted voices in e-commerce. In this episode, Neal unpacks the mindset, tactics, a...

Liam Darmody didn’t start out as a marketer or salesperson.

From writing posts during paternity leave to becoming one of the platform’s most trusted personal branding voices, Liam’s story is proof that showing up as yourself—daily—actually works. In this...

Brianna Doe didn’t grow on LinkedIn by teaching marketing tips or showing off her agency wins. She went viral on her very first post by doing something most people avoid—being honest. Since then, she’s built a multi-million dollar agency, 100+ client roster, and powerful personal brand without ever chasing likes or bending to the algorithm. In this episode, Brianna joins Brad to unpack how vulnera...

Gaetano DiNardi didn’t go all in on LinkedIn with a 7-day posting strategy, a ghostwriter, or growth hacks. He took the opposite approach—posting twice a week, saying exactly what he thinks, and letting his track record speak louder than any thread formula ever could. From scaling Sales Hacker and Nextiva to building a high-leverage consulting business off referrals alone, Gaetano has quietly grow...

Kathleen Booth, the CMO of Pavillion, didn’t become one of LinkedIn’s top B2B voices by chasing attention, she earned it by showing up every single day. What started as a year-long experiment turned into speaking gigs, job offers, and eventually a seat in LinkedIn’s official Creator Program. And she did it without pods, hacks, or engagement bait—just honest content, a clear point of view, and rele...

Ryan O’Hara doesn’t sound like anyone else on LinkedIn—and that’s the point. A former sales exec turned creator-founder, Ryan built his brand by doing what most people are too afraid to try: showing up as a full-blown character with jokes, skits, and saxophones. In this episode, Ryan joins Brad to talk about how he went from cringey outreach videos to viral growth, what creators get wrong about “v...

Nick Bennett didn’t start posting on LinkedIn to become an influencer—he started because his boss offered a spiff.

In this episode, Nick joins Brad Zomick to break down what it actually takes to build a LinkedI...

Alina Vandenberghe didn’t set out to build a LinkedIn presence. She was a technical founder, a product builder, and (in her own words) “the geek with no friends.” But today, she’s one of the most recognizable and unfiltered founder voices on the platform—and her content has helped grow Chili Piper into a category-defining company. In this episode, Alina joins host Brad Zomick to unpack the emotion...

Alex doesn’t hold back. He shares...

In this episode, Chris breaks down his LinkedIn playbook, from writing daily and transitioning to video to using social media as...
