Posting articles on Linkedin

--chris--

Anyone on here do this?

I have had a few observations & ideas that I have shared with coworkers and customers that are well received, i thought I would try my hand at posting them on Linkedin.

Go for it, be ready to defend your position! I'm glad your brave enough to do it.

I am on the fence about doing it. I realized last night that my opinions and ideas are really just distilled versions of Joe Rogan's podcast lol.

For example: realizing everyone's life is different and you have your "own unique deck of cards" and that its more about how you play that deck and less about how everyone else plays their deck of cards (this is in reference to being happy at a job even though by other people's standards it may not pay enough or you may not directly benefit the world like a Nobel peace prize winner does).

(This is specific, but it illustrates a good point) How you cant drive a Porsche Boxter because its a "girls car". Because someone who is uncomfortable driving that car proclaimed it one day to be a "girls car", I should now feel weird about wanting to drive one? Get out of here!

Maybe I am an odd ball, but lately I have been realizing many of the constraints I placed on how I live and work were created by other people. Letting go of other peoples expectations and constraints has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I thought sharing this perspective may be a good way to connect with people on Linkedin, but at the same time this isn't original content...who would want to read it?

Already sounds better than 99% of the crap linkedin puts in my feed. I say go for it.

I say go for it also. That'd be an article I'd actually read.

I, too, say go for it. If you are going to put out something that someone else said, link to it. Also, maybe summerize what someone said, provide a bit of color commentary, and then put it out. Honestly, I don't necessarily care what Joe Rogan said, as I can read his stuff, I would be more interested in what you have to say about what he said and how it affected you, your life, your outlook, etc. Stories are powerful, let your story shine through!

Edit: BTW...everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that the only true, man's man car that Porsche ever produced was the 914!
