Cohort-based Course

I quit my job to manage a portfolio of 2 million followers. Now I teach CEOs storytelling frameworks to scale their visibility in 3 weeks.

Course overview

Stop Writing, Start Storytelling.

Less than 5% of LinkedIn users post content on a weekly basis. The weirdest part?


Microsoft bought LinkedIn for $26B. Now they have 800M users and the best opportunities go to the top 5%.


That's not fair. This course teaches you the frameworks to be in the top 5%.

Who is this course for

01

Founder & CEOs: Your company's voice is established but you need to start building your own.

02

Entrepreneurs & Speakers: You’re a builder who wants a free distribution channel that doesn't require guru ads.

03

Consultants & Board Members: You're a service-based provider who wants free PR to attract clients while you sleep.

        Course was excellent. Joel had thought-provoking questions that delved into strategy, goals, and measurements critical to a successful LinkedIn presence. I found that answering the questions led me to ask myself more profound questions about my own goals in life. I highly recommend the class. [2022 student]

        Since Joel's class, I’ve created a new morning routine where every day for 15 mins with my coffee I scroll the news and share my inspiration for the day. The routine was something I learned and started during Joel's class. Joel was very helpful in getting me started the right way and I know he'll do the same for you. [2021 Student]

        I’ve had the privilege to work with Joel in multiple capacities and I’m always impressed by his ability to leverage LinkedIn storytelling into whatever project he has on the go. He has a knack for community building and I have no doubt his social media course will be well worth your investment.

        Joel is a wonderful person who truly has command of his craft. We had him join Homie to provide some wisdom to our agents regarding how to develop their personal brands online, as well as how to cultivate networks that translate to business. If you're looking for someone who can help you break through the noise on LinkedIn, Joel is one of the best.

        One of the things I've been most impressed with by Joel is that he always wants to help others. His content is geared towards teaching and instructing his audience in an approachable and informative way. I've been particularly impressed with his expertise in personal branding and communication.

        This class from Joel addressed a different element every session. The small group made it personal and intimate. By the end of the course, I optimized my profile, learned how to write DMs and created a couple of posts. One even hit 10,000 views! I even booked some meetings with other students. Would I do it again? Absolutely! [2021 Student]

        I loved the energy. The stories you shared were inspiring. Really appreciated your input on my profile. You gave me the push to start posting and put myself out there, I've only done 2 posts so far but I've seen a lot more people looking at my profile. It was great to meet others in the group as well as they've supported my content. [2021 Student]

        Joel’s class confirmed the need to be more active on LinkedIn. His class helped me feel much more confident. I learned how to craft my profile to attract attention and remain authentic at the same time. Since the class, I've started actively taking notes throughout my week of items I should post. Would highly recommend the class. [2021 Student]

        LinkedIn was an also-ran social media experience for me. A member for 12+ years, I was an often-caller, seldom commenter. I just didn't get it. After Joel's teaching and the cohorts sharing I have a new appreciation for how LI can be used and what types of things to share. It's gone from an also-ran to my fave platform. Thanks, Joel!

        The pros? Rather than just "hacks", the class helped me evaluate what I hope to achieve with my career and how LinkedIn could help me achieve that. It wasn't a "listen" course, but a "get it done" class. We had a lot of exercises before, during & after sessions. Students ranged in age, geography and background. Cons? None. [2021 Student]

        Joel is one of the kindest and most empathetic people I’ve ever worked with and I think that’s what makes him an excellent marketer and storyteller. He has this unique way of uplifting everyone around him, has sure done that for me. I’m constantly inspired by his writing style and how cohesively he paints a picture with words.
