Thursdays morning 8am. IMO the best time to socialise: - Can drink coffee - Before working hours - Close to the weekend Been doing these breakfasts for a while and today was a banger: @jaackodyssey, Elisabetta and @mischasofie. We chatted about babies, dogs, cats and a little https://t.co/gYS6DcNA37

I feel bad. Last night I jumped on "Unf*ck My Startup" with @RetentionAdam and +400 attendees. I shared the 7 steps to produce LinkedIn posts that get +100k likes: 1. Single image, with a close up of your face 2. The hook should be a curiosity driving statement that says only https://t.co/ADNkUhQIkP

26,019,133 impressions. 9,744 comments. 7,164 reposts. 309,719 likes. On a single post... Some people say engagement pods. Some people say plagiarism. Some people say he's a bot. Any truth to those? Read on... Then they say: - Sure, getting likes but is this generating https://t.co/NJsWlzkeO0

We rejected a candidate twice. Our mistake? I only looked at their CV. However, they were persistent: - Emails - LinkedIn DM's - Reaching out to multiple team members Finally, we jumped on a call. Guess what? They got the role. They started, and are going from strength to

👀 It's May 2025, Fame has over $1m cash on the balance sheet... what do we do?

59% of your team may be "quiet quitting". (According to Gallup.) They do the bare minimum. No: - Excitement - Extra effort - Enthusiasm And it's stunting your growth: Lower employee retention leads to... Lower customer retention leads to... Lower profitability leads to...

Confession time. I've been micro-managing recently: - Jumping to to give feedback without invitation - Changing things without asking permission - Making decisions for others I'll admit, it feels good to be productive. But the longer term consequence of undermining the team https://t.co/WYV5XcsxTE

A great boss can change your life. They will: - Support your progression, development and earning potential - Create a positive working environment where everyone can contribute - Impact your confidence, your ability to take on responsibility and progress - Find out where you https://t.co/DqLV4kZIMz

You should come and work for us they said. We have epic culture they said... https://t.co/EnzCnCKmL5

Zappos offer new hires $2,000 to quit. Crazy right? I mean, why offer free money to people you have already hired and trained? And this was not a remote Zoom interview process. This was a fly-you-out to HQ, tour the office, in-person process. They also get feedback from the https://t.co/BStmQn9tPv

19 countries. 26 months. 1 job. Stephanie has worked at Fame for 26 months, and during this time has traveled to 19 countries. 0.73 countries per month. Do we care? Nope. We care about: - Steph’s happiness - Client happiness Working on the beach? Love it. Taking the https://t.co/LPQ09Ugmwu

It's 8:36pm when it lands in my inbox. The wave of anxiety floods over me. It's a calendar invite for 9am tomorrow morning from my boss, simply titled: "Catch Up" Zero context, zero reason, zero empathy. If Oura existed back then, my sleep score would have been horrendous. https://t.co/eUekfBphe3

If you work on a laptop all day... You don't need to be in an office. If you spend a lot of time on Zoom... You don't need to be in an office. If you worked remotely before and performed. You don't need to be in an office. If you go to the office and speak with less than 3 https://t.co/ryB5HjBeYM

Most people appear on podcasts wrong. "I turn up, I speak, then I get more exposure" This used to work back in 2016. Not anymore. Each appearance becomes as a puzzle piece, building up your content universe. Each appearance should focus on one theme... you then create three

We spent $681k on acquisitions in the past 6 months. The original plan was purely financial. E.g. buying numbers. We pay up front to add more revenue and profit. And that part is working (mostly). But the hidden benefits, benefits I didn't expect are twofold: 1️⃣ People We https://t.co/iP6uj9yFtF

I've hired 113 people over the past 3 years. Most things that used to matter, no longer matter: - What you wear - Whether you have a CV - Whether you're nervous or confident What matters? - An understanding of our business - An interest in the role - Alignment of values

At first I thought he was joking. It's 2021 and @MarkOnPodcasts and I were having lunch in my flat in London, talking about his new business. "Yes, we have given Lordships to all our employees" "That is outrageous, why?" I exclaim. The big question any business with culture https://t.co/gRx1fsw2jg
