January Experiments
Hi all! We're wrapping up January, which means it's the perfect time to share and reflect. What experiments have you run on LinkedIn this month? Whether it was testing a new content format, posting at different times, trying carousel posts, or experimenting with your hook styles - I'd love to hear about it. Drop a comment below with: 1. What you tested 2. What you expected to happen 3. What actually happened 4. What you'll do differently (or keep doing) in February No experiment is too small! Even "failed" experiments teach us something valuable. Let's learn from each other.

New Year, New AI Experiments (Starting Before January 1)
Everyone talks about the year “winding down,” but this is actually one of the best moments to spark new ideas and plant seeds for 2026. Let’s use these last couple of days of 2025 to get a head start instead of waiting for January 1.​ https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7411837377507205120/ In my LinkedIn post today, I broke down two huge moves (Meta + Manus, NVIDIA + Groq), three predictions for 2026, and why the real action is going to be in agents, inference, and “weird but working” consumer AI. The theme: 2026 will reward people who move faster and experiment earlier, not people who wait for the perfect plan.​ Here’s what I want to do with this community: - Before January 1, sketch ONE concrete AI experiment you’ll run in January - Keep it small and real, not theoretical When you’re ready, drop a comment with: 1. What you want to try 2. The smallest version you can ship in 2 weeks 3. The one metric you’ll use to know it worked I’ll read through and respond with ideas, examples, or tweaks where helpful. Let’s make these “quiet” days the time we quietly get way ahead.

End of year = recap season
You’re going to start seeing a lot of “Year in Review” posts, and honestly, that’s a good thing (when they’re done right.). Check out Vin's post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vinmatano_yearinreview-activity-7408868423478292480-sK_0/ What Vin did really well in the post I just shared in the community:​ - Mixed wins and mistakes (not just a highlight reel).​ - Got specific with numbers, milestones, and life events (revenue, conferences, marriage, lost clients, lost $20k, etc.).​ - Pulled out one clear takeaway: focus on getting 1% better every day.​ - Ended with a simple prompt to invite engagement: “What are you most proud of in 2025?”​ Where most recap posts (and even this one a bit) can get better:​ - Tie the story back to your identity or mission: how are you a different person/operator now vs. January?​ - Translate wins into lessons others can apply (“Here’s what I’d repeat, here’s what I’d never do again.”).​ - Acknowledge the cost of the wins (stress, tradeoffs, relationships) so it feels more real and relatable.​ - Add a tiny bit of context for people newer to you: who you serve and what game you’re playing.​ If you want to share your own year-in-review in this Skool: - Share 3–5 concrete wins (numbers, projects, or life moments). - Share 2–3 honest misses or mistakes and what they taught you. - Name 1 core lesson or shift you’re taking into 2026. - End with a question or invitation so others can plug in. Drop your recap in a new post (not the comments) so we can actually see it, support you, and learn from it. Tag it with “Year in Review” so it’s easy to find later.

Stay Ready So You Don’t Have To Get Ready
There’s a line Spencer shared today that’s been on repeat in my head: “Stay ready and you don’t have to get ready.” It’s simple, but it’s basically the operating system for anyone who wants to move fast when opportunity shows up.​ Staying ready isn’t about being “on” 24/7 or chasing some fake perfection. It’s about keeping your skills sharp, your systems clean, your health and mindset in a place where you can say “yes” without scrambling when the right door opens.​ In this community, that looks like: - Building daily habits that make you better, even 1% at a time.​ - Creating assets and systems now that future-you will be grateful for.​ - Expecting opportunity and acting like the kind of person who’s already prepared for it.​ Question for you: what’s one way you can “stay ready” this week so you’re not trying to “get ready” when the moment hits? Drop it in the comments so the rest of the community can steal good ideas.​ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/skj21_nevermiss-stayready-sportstech-activity-7404535409466060801-5hl7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAXGzIIBqnmh6hfYUlYXRk_uvTvSEMhC0os

Clients post hit over 120k impressions (and still climbing)
Hey y’all! Plain and simple, I have a client I’ve been working with that struck a nerve yesterday with his industry. We’ve been building a content strategy around consistency. Video posts, image posts, text posts, and combinations therein. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/therecruitingcoachnd_i-cant-believe-a-talent-acquisition-leader-activity-7392237083660300289-HTUA?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAXGzIIBqnmh6hfYUlYXRk_uvTvSEMhC0os

@Amir Yazd that's awesome! What do you mean about "LI's rules for boosting"? It looks like that post hit a conversational vein with users which is what allowed it to catch fire the way it did. Have you written more content around that concept again?

@Amir Yazd I can't see inside the blackbox of the algo, but the basics: it was interesting to people on the platform. The signals for interest (shares, likes/reactions, comments, clicks, etc) were strong from the beginning which puts it in front of more people in your circles. As others take an action it is elevated to their circles as well. With that scale and adding 3rd degree connections, skies the limit. But the bottomline, it was interesting to people on the platform
