Connection Accepted 0 to 45k in 6 months: How Lee McCabe beat LinkedIn
Refusing to post video content despite what the "gurus" say.
45,000 followers in less than 6 months.
Lee McCabe isn't your typical Private Equity investor.
After leaving leadership roles at Alibaba and Facebook, he launched Claymore Partners to build a PE firm "backwards," focusing on digital value creation first.
In this conversation, Lee breaks down exactly how he grew a massive audience by simply "not being boring" and posting authentically about the industry.
We discuss how to conquer "Cringe Mountain," why he treats roofing and HVAC companies as "sales and marketing businesses," and why he believes text-only posts are still the king of LinkedIn.
Plus, we play a round of Good Idea / Bad Idea to see if a "Tinder for Private Equity" could actually work.
If you want to build a personal brand without looking like a "LinkedIn Influencer" or selling your soul for engagement, this episode is for you.
