The best LinkedIn Posts

If there’s something you want to work on but you find yourself procrastinating… that might actually be a good sign. Hear me out:

According to bestselling author and one of the thinkers who has influenced my work for nearly two decades, Seth Godin 🌔, resistance isn’t a problem.

It’s the point.

Seth says if you’re doing something that truly matters, resistance is going to show up.

The fear.
The hesitation.
The voice telling you to wait.

That’s not a warning sign. It means that you’re doing work that matters to you.

In a recent episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I finally got to sit down with Seth - someone whose ideas have shaped the way I think about business, creativity, and courage. Our conversation will challenge you to stop waiting and start creating the life you actually want.

🎧 “Simple Steps for Getting Unstuck: Do THIS and Change Your Life” - tune in now on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eQ_iTcH7

You can also listen on Apple Podcasts and watch on YouTube - search “The Mel Robbins Podcast Seth Godin."

This sounds harsh but it is true, very few of the guests we have on 20VC will be remembered in history for truly progressing humanity.

Our guest today will be thought of alongside Turing, Newton, Einstein and I feel immensely privileged and fortunate to have had the chance to sit down with Demis Hassabis.

For anyone who feels their dream is out of reach, just keep going. The 18 year old kid starting 20VC from a bedroom with no money, 11 years ago, would not believe that I get to press publish on this.

Chase your dreams. You never know what room you will end up in!

Jefferson Fisher x The Diary Of A CEO

I grew up in communist Czechoslovakia
where entrepreneurship was illegal.

Success meant getting a job at a prestigious company.

And staying there until retirement.

So that's what I did.

At 48, I looked at my life and realized:

I'd followed every rule.
Done everything "right."
And I still felt trapped.

So I built my escape route.

One LinkedIn post at a time.

A year later, at 49, I left.

Now I have freedom and flexibility I didn't know was possible.

But when I started writing,
my biggest challenge was coming up with ideas.

Staring at a blank screen every day:

- What do I even talk about?
- Will anyone care?
- How do I stay consistent without burning out?

This is why Stanley matters so much to me.

It's the tool I wish I'd had earlier.

It helps me:

- Give me honest feedback when I need it
- Flag when my audience is tired of a topic
- Turn one coaching session into 4 different posts

My posts created with Stanley outperform my others by 35-40%.

No matter how stuck you feel.

No matter your age.

No matter what you were taught about "safety" and "success."

You can move forward.

It’s never too late.

Start with the "Why," not the hardware.

I recently sat down at #NVIDIAGTC 2026 with DD Dasgupta, VP of Product Marketing at Equinix, to talk about the real-world side of AI.

This part of our chat really hit home for me because it flips the script on how most companies try to "do AI."

Instead of starting with a big shopping list of tech, DD suggests looking at the tools you already use every day. Whether it’s an app for your team or a portal for your customers, that is where the value lives. If you don't know which "job" you want the AI to do, buying the fastest server in the world won't help you.

This is such a great lesson for any leader: Don't get distracted by the "infrastructure" until you've profiled your actual needs. AI should be a booster for your business results, not just a line item in your budget.

💡DD put it very simply:
"Every data center or cloud on this planet was built to do one thing: to run applications."

❓In your own business, are you starting with the "cool tech," or are you starting with the specific task that will actually make your life easier?

Remote work didn’t make people lazy.
It just removed the audience.

No more:

• unnecessary meetings that could’ve been a message
• office politics over coffee machines
• “quick chats” that turn into 45 minutes
• pretending to look busy

Remote work quietly solved something most companies ignore:

energy management.

You spend less time:
→ commuting
→ context switching
→ dealing with distractions

And more time:
→ actually doing the work
→ thinking clearly
→ delivering results

It also forces something important:

Better communication.

Because when you can’t rely on proximity,
you have to rely on clarity.

And maybe the biggest shift:

You stop optimizing for “looking productive”
and start optimizing for being productive.

Remote work isn’t perfect.

But it’s a lot easier to do great work
when the loudest thing in your day… isn’t the office.

Be honest: why you love your remote work?

Life hack:

Get into rooms where other people have achieved your dreams.

The closer you are to them,
the easier you can see their stepping stones.

And on the contrary, don't take advice from people
who haven't achieved the things you dream about.

Your standards are shaped by who you spend time with.

3 questions to ask yourself today:
↳ Are you in rooms that stretch you?
↳ Are you surrounded by people who achieved what you're working toward?
↳ If not, how can you make finding those rooms your priority? A conference, a mastermind group, a mentorship program...

The person you will be in 5 years is determined by the books you read, podcasts you listen to, and people you meet today.
