Rising Tides Live – Why You Should Do LinkedIn Collaborations

In This Episode

Interview Takeaways

  • LinkedIn Is More Than a Job Board – Business leaders can use the platform to build professional relationships, strengthen communities, share their expertise, and create new opportunities over time.
  • Authenticity Builds Stronger Connections – Personal stories often connect more deeply than polished or overly promotional content. Educational posts may reach fewer people, but they can still make an impact when they reach the right audience.
  • Collaboration Can Expand Your Reach – LinkedIn’s collaboration feature allows creators to share content across multiple audiences. The strongest collaborations bring the right people together around content that is relevant, valuable, and worth sharing.

Shawn Walchef led this Rising Tides Live conversation about LinkedIn’s new collaboration feature and how business leaders can use the platform to build stronger communities. Restaurant operators, entrepreneurs, and hospitality leaders discussed declining reach, AI-generated content, and the value of mixing personal stories with educational posts. From Richard’s warning about “AI slop” to Ward Olgreen’s reminder that heartfelt posts often earn the strongest response, the group explored what makes content worth sharing. The message was clear: LinkedIn is more than a place to find a job. Consistent, authentic content can build relationships and create real business opportunities.
