Connection Accepted We interviewed the funniest creator on LinkedIn
Kevin Baker is the funniest person on LinkedIn.
Just a few years ago, Kevin was working in the mailroom at a top talent agency (UTA), restocking printers and wearing a suit. He was surrounded by corporate culture and felt stifled, unable to post the "stupid stuff" he loved. His job had become a prison for his creativity.
Instead of conforming, he started posting. He tested the waters with a post acting like he fell for a "CEO gift card scam," which didn't go over well. So he quit.
He leaned into satire, creating the legendary 3.1 million view "Costco as a co-working space" post and mastering the art of content that makes people ask, "Is this a joke?"
In this conversation, Kevin gives a masterclass on creating viral, satirical content. He shares the exact, behind-the-scenes stories of his most famous posts, breaks down his creative process, and reveals why LinkedIn is the ultimate platform for humor because everyone else is so serious.
In This Episode, We Cover:
The 3.1M View Post: The story and creative process behind the "Costco co-working" hit.
The "CEO Scam" Post: The post that got him in hot water.
"Is This Real?": The philosophy of creating content that perfectly toes the line.
Fear of Flopping: The mental warfare of following up a 3 million view post.
Corporate "Alpha": Why LinkedIn is the best platform for humor right now.
Why Are People Scared to Like?: The "boss" factor holding back engagement on funny posts.
If you're tired of generic social media advice, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.
