LinkedIn can feel pretty soulless right now, with endless AI-generated posts and very little that actually sticks.
In this bonus episode, I chat with Cherie Clonan, founder and CEO of digital agency The Digital Picnic, about a different way to think about content that doesn’t chase reach or virality. We unpack her idea of return on intimacy, how she designs LinkedIn content across the funnel, why depth and resonance matter more than volume, and how she uses AI for idea generation and hooks without losing her human voice. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a simple lens to use the next time you’re wondering what to post and why.
Cherie and I discuss:
Key quotes
“Return on intimacy is what I crave, not return on investment.”
“Don’t ask how many people might see it. Ask whether someone would screenshot it.”
