Milestone alert: 20th episode
Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn pull back the curtain on how they built thriving social media audiences (and businesses) from scratch.
After spending two years growing massive followings teaching Midjourney on LinkedIn, they reveal their proven blueprint for turning technical knowledge into engaged communities and real business opportunities.
From critical posting patterns and engagement strategies to content formats that actually work, Drew and Rory share how they cracked LinkedIn's code to generate 1.5M+ monthly impressions. They break down why most creators fail to gain traction, expose the data behind their most viral posts, and explain how to strategically inject personality into professional content.
The duo also tackles hard truths about audience building - why follower counts are meaningless compared to engagement, how to handle negative feedback when posts go viral, and what it really takes to stand out in saturated spaces. Plus, they share their expansion strategy beyond LinkedIn and reveal exclusive Midjourney v7 updates coming in 2024.
Learn the exact frameworks, workflows and psychological triggers they use to build authentic connections and drive real business results.
