James Laughlin interviews someone who hit 100,000 LinkedIn followers by sharing vulnerable stories. The guest grew from zero to 50,000 in one year after his girlfriend's advice in 2022, then doubled that the next year. He's seen others do it in 2024 too.

My girlfriend, who is a social media specialist for Enterprise Brands, said to me in 22, hey, this is the golden era. You need to make the most of this. You need to be getting people onto an email list. It won't always be this easy. And I sort of went, oh, it's fine. It's great. And she was absolutely right. She's always right. So I hit 50,000 followers after a year and thought, okay, well, if I can do that, I can get to 100 in another year. And that's what I did.
Do you think that it's possible for anyone that's willing and committed to open up and be vulnerable, share stories, share tactics? Anyone could grow to that?
Yeah, it's still possible. I've seen people do it in 2024.
