    Stop Blaming the Algorithm (Do These 3 Things Instead) | #67

    Most creators obsess over algorithm hacks. Hashtags. “Comment for a guide.” Posting times. But those things are like bicep curls in the gym. They might help a little, but they’re a tiny fraction of what actually makes content work. The real skill behind every viral post is communication. In this episode, Matt and I break down the three communication principles that helped us grow to 300,000+ followers across platforms. We break down: 🔹 Why most creators forget their audience has zero context, and how adding the right background makes people actually care about what you’re saying 🔹 Why every word you cut saves your audience time, and the simple editing habit that dramatically improves your writing 🔹 Humans > Algorithms: The mental shift that changed how we create content once we realized every impression is a real person, not a machine If you’re trying to grow on LinkedIn or YouTube, this episode will help you communicate ideas in a way that people actually want to share.

    How to make anyone listen to you | #66

    After interviewing over 30 world-class guests on Connection Accepted, Matt and I reveal the most powerful communication secrets we’ve learned from $100M CEOs, NBA players, and elite professors. In this episode, we break down: 🔹 Listen to Understand vs. Respond: Why most arguments fail the moment you start formulating your rebuttal while the other person is still talking 🔹 The 3-Second Rule: How using strategic silence and intentional pauses makes you sound more thoughtful and increases your authority 🔹 High-Stakes Storytelling: Why the best communicators use concrete examples and analogies to turn abstract ideas into tangible results 🔹 The Name Hack: Why saying someone’s name is "honey to their ears" and the simplest way to instantly grab anyone's attention If you feel ignored, struggle with filler words like "um" or "like," or want to level up your communication skills, this episode is for you.

    Everything LinkedIn Told Us in 18 Minutes | #64

    Most creators think they can hack the LinkedIn algorithm. Posting times. Hashtags. Comment tricks. But after attending a private session with LinkedIn’s product and engineering team, we realized something important: The algorithm isn’t what most creators think it is. The algorithm is really just the audience. In this episode, Matt and I break down what we learned from the session and what it actually means for creators trying to grow on LinkedIn.

    How to make anyone listen to you | #63

    Six months ago, Matt and I started Connection Accepted with no idea what we were doing. No format, no audience, and no clue how to run a podcast.  After recording 30+ interviews with founders, athletes, professors, and creators, we’re reflecting on what we learned in Season 1 and what’s coming in Season 2. In this episode, we break down: 🔹 The Podcasting Illusion: Why podcasting is a hobby disguised as a grind, and the signal that tells you if you should keep going 🔹 Knowledge Aggregation: How interviewing people across completely different industries helps you see patterns most people miss 🔹 The Algorithm Myth: Why the algorithm is really just the audience (and why great communication always wins) 🔹 The Season 2 Shift: Why we’re moving beyond LinkedIn growth hacks and focusing on the timeless skill behind every great creator and leader If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, building a personal brand, or improving how you communicate online and in real life, this episode is for you.
