Matt Lakajev dropped out of school, got kicked out of home more than once, and worked 25 different jobs before having a breakdown at 27 that sent him back to his parents’ place. He then googled how to make the most money without a degree, found sales, and built an audience of more than 100,000 people on the platform everyone claims to hate.
This one’s for anyone in a senior role who knows their network matters but has never posted a thing. Matt gets specific on why LinkedIn still converts better than anywhere else, what AI screening is quietly doing to your job applications, and why hitting post for the first time takes most people about three years.

The one thing you can’t fake on LinkedIn that you can fake everywhere else
What AI resume screening means for how you actually find your next role
Trust leverage, and why companies hire the safe 80% performer over the superstar
How to handle tall poppy syndrome and the feeling that posting is just showing off
Word for word, what your first post should say
The kind of knowledge AI can never replicate, and why it’s the only thing worth posting
The three mistakes that make experienced people look like beginners online
