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.
