He says you don't necessarily need to post every day; what's more important is not diluting your content or your thoughts, and posting when you actually have something meaningful to say. His reassurance: "if it's a shit post no one will see it anyways" — the algorithm hides the bad stuff and surfaces the good. For LinkedIn specifically, photos perform better, make sure the hook doesn't get cut off with three dots on a mobile view, and respect the reader so a complete stranger with no context could read and enjoy it.
