🎙️ BONUS | Nick Wants To Be a LinkedIn Influencer

**Kip Wightman** (0:06)
Welcome to the Bonus Podcast. We're talking in our show about LinkedIn, how cringe it is. I'm new to it, and I'm seeing my friends' cringey statuses. I couldn't believe how cringe it was.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:18)
I'm going to go into it. I'm not, just you can look at certain small details.

**Kip Wightman** (0:21)
And then I read out some team statuses, some, you know, some classic things from our team, but we thought maybe I should make a cringe status with an accompanied photo. So this is what I've got so far.
It's a privilege to do breakfast radio. We don't just wake up Brisbane, we awaken possibility. Every day alongside the incomparable Luttsy & Susie O'Neill, obviously I use your full name, we have the privilege of entering thousands of homes, cars and workplaces and contributing to the collective zeitgeist of our great city. Radio is more than a medium. It's a catalyst for connection, a conduit for conversation.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:54)
I think you should have said privilege at the end again, because you've said it twice already. So not only, what's that last sentence?

**Kip Wightman** (1:01)
A conduit of conversation. All you mean, a radio is more than a medium. It's a catalyst.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:04)
It's a privilege.

**David Lutteral** (1:05)
And is there dashes in between your thoughts?

**Kip Wightman** (1:07)
Yeah, yeah.

**David Lutteral** (1:08)
Full stops. Full stops or dashes? Because dashes is a bit of a giveaway that it's AI. Oh.
You know those double line dashes?

**Kip Wightman** (1:15)
Oh, no, no, not those. That's not that.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:16)
Don't worry.

**David Lutteral** (1:16)
You haven't got it?

**Kip Wightman** (1:17)
Just full stops.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:18)
Mustache?

**Kip Wightman** (1:18)
So radio is, you're going to go radio is more than a privilege.

**David Lutteral** (1:22)
More than a feeling. Yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:25)
Sorry.

**David Lutteral** (1:26)
Mark Holland, by the way, has just sent me a book saying, I heard you guys talking about LinkedIn, and we might like this book. And the piss take these guys take, read LinkedIn posts, it's called Nomics, a deep dive into workplace bullshittery.

**Kip Wightman** (1:43)
It's an actual book. That's funny. Yeah. It would be a good read.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:46)
I'm on the LinkedIn tips for optimizing your LinkedIn profile section.

**Kip Wightman** (1:49)
Yeah. Does it say wank factor?

**Susie O'Neill** (1:51)
Refresh your headline, showcase your achievements, tell your story.

**Kip Wightman** (1:56)
Tell your story.

**David Lutteral** (1:58)
There's a one, some wanker in middle management. It literally says in the front page, the quotes, some wanker in middle management. Can I circle back with a quote by COB?
Circle back. Get circle back into it.

**Kip Wightman** (2:12)
That's funny.

**David Lutteral** (2:13)
Oh, it's Charles Firth. Who's that? I think he's an Aussie.

**Kip Wightman** (2:17)
I don't know. Anyway, so you reckon I pumped that post out? Oh, Susie, you reckon that radio is more than a privilege at the end?

**Susie O'Neill** (2:23)
Well, I mean, just because you've obviously done privilege twice already.

**Kip Wightman** (2:26)
Yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:26)
Is it a bit of a gag? So I thought maybe a third time.

**Kip Wightman** (2:28)
A third time could be good, yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:30)
But is this going to be a real thing? Because then you won't mind get jobs.

**David Lutteral** (2:34)
People are going to think you're a f**king complete f**k.

**Kip Wightman** (2:36)
Yeah, I know. I've tagged David Luttrell.

**David Lutteral** (2:39)
Don't f**king tag me.

**Kip Wightman** (2:44)
Yeah, but would people think I'm a f**k from that? I think people would take that as normal.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:48)
No, because you've said privilege too many times.

**David Lutteral** (2:51)
I didn't pick that up.

**Kip Wightman** (2:52)
I think I only said privilege once. I mean, I was listening probably.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:54)
What did you say at the beginning? Did you restart your sentence? Yeah, I restarted my sentence.

**Kip Wightman** (2:59)
Yeah, yeah, I stumbled.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:00)
Okay.

**Kip Wightman** (3:02)
Yeah, maybe I won't post it because I won't get an EMC gig.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:06)
Or maybe just do it briefly.

**Kip Wightman** (3:07)
Nah, there's no point. But honestly, the whole thing is I reckon people would think it's legit and not out of the realm of LinkedIn anyway.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:15)
I said a fake one at once, but I don't know.

**David Lutteral** (3:17)
That's the chaser guy that's written that book. That's Charles Firth. Nick just texted me. That's funny.
I think he... Charles Firth, the chaser. Wankonomics. I think he's had a book called Wankonomics as well.
