2 days ago34:27

34:27

Melissa Rosenthal has spent her career mastering the art of attention—from crafting viral hooks at BuzzFeed, to breaking LinkedIn video at Cheddar, to turning ClickUp’s employees into organic LinkedIn powerhouses. Now, as CEO of Outlever, she’s helping B2B brands rethink how they create content that actually drives impact. In this episode, Melissa shares her playbook for LinkedIn success—including why clickbait kills trust, video builds relationships, and engagement isn’t the goal—business impact is. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How Melissa and her team at BuzzFeed pioneered the viral hook formula Why video on LinkedIn is an unfair advantage and how to use it Why your own story beats another Steve Jobs post How ClickUp turned employees into LinkedIn creators and scaled organic reach The right way to measure LinkedIn success (hint: it’s not just engagement metrics) Why going viral doesn’t matter—but building relationships does Memorable Quotes: "The hook makes or breaks your post. If people don’t stop scrolling, nothing else matters." "Clickbait kills trust. If you don’t deliver on the hook, you lose your audience forever." "Video builds trust faster than text. People connect with faces, voices, and energy." "We don’t need another Steve Jobs story. We need your story." "You don’t need 10,000 likes. You need the right 10 people to care." Tactical Takeaways You Can Apply Today: Craft strong curiosity-driven hooks without resorting to clickbait Use video on LinkedIn to deepen audience connections and drive engagement Tell your unique story instead of repeating the same startup clichés Train employees to become LinkedIn brand ambassadors like ClickUp did Measure LinkedIn’s impact through inbound mentions and brand awareness studies Forget virality and focus on content that builds trust and relationships People, Tools, and Resources Mentioned: Outlever – Melissa’s company helping B2B brands master LinkedIn content BuzzFeed & Cheddar – Where Melissa developed her expertise in viral content and video ClickUp – A company that scaled LinkedIn reach through employee-driven content Brand Awareness Studies – An underrated way to measure LinkedIn’s true impact Follow Melissa Rosenthal: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melrosenthal Outlever: www.outlever.com Until Next Time, Stay Connected.

Suck It Up, Buttercup”—Why Founders Must Post on LinkedIn with Dave Gerhardt 48:00

9 days ago48:00

48:00

Dave Gerhardt, CEO of Exit Five and one of the most well-known voices in B2B marketing, joins the show to talk about building a founder brand, why every founder should be on LinkedIn, and how AI is shaping content creation. Dave shares his personal journey, the tactics that helped Drift and Privy scale, and his daily writing habits. Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or executive, this episode is packed with actionable insights on leveraging LinkedIn, storytelling, and content creation to build authority and drive growth. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How Dave helped shape the founder-led marketing strategy at Drift Why storytelling is the key to building a strong brand The unexpected benefits of posting on LinkedIn (beyond sales) Dave’s approach to writing and content creation (and how he stays consistent) Why AI is a powerful tool for structuring content (even if you still write manually) The secret to stockpiling content ideas so you never start from scratch How just one post can change the trajectory of your brand (with examples) Dave’s advice for founders who struggle to post on LinkedIn Memorable Quotes: "Drift had a vision, and we used LinkedIn as the conduit to shape and share that story. Every founder should do the same." "Suck it up, buttercup—posting on LinkedIn does more than sell. It attracts talent, builds awareness, and delivers audience feedback." "If I were running your business or ghostwriting, I’d absolutely be using AI tools. I even helped a founder build some Claude recipes for content." "Writing is easier when you’ve stockpiled ideas. You need to gather wood before winter so you’re never out of fuel." "It only takes one post to pop. Just look at Ding Zheng—one viral moment put him on the map. The opportunity is still there." Tactical Takeaways You Can Apply Today: Start posting on LinkedIn—even if it feels awkward. The benefits go beyond sales. Use storytelling to make your content more compelling. People connect with narratives, not product pitches. Stockpile content ideas separately from your writing time to keep your creative flow consistent. Experiment with AI for structuring and brainstorming content—it won’t replace you but can enhance your workflow. Don’t overthink LinkedIn. You’re already sharing valuable insights internally—just share them publicly. Consistency beats perfection. Show up every day, and your personal brand will grow.
