Advice for LinkedIn creators + why going full-time creator isn’t always the dream ft. Linda Le

Everyone says, “Quit your 9-to-5 and chase the dream.”

Linda Le actually did it… and hated it.

In Episode 8 of The EventShark TV Podcast, we sit down with LinkedIn creator Linda Le (612K+ followers on LinkedIn) to talk about what really happens when you go full-time as a creator — and why she chose to go back to a 9-to-5.

We dig into creator burnout, getting ghosted by brands, and the reality behind the “dream job” of being an influencer.

But we also go deep on practical, tactical LinkedIn advice for creators:
— What makes a good LinkedIn post (and what doesn’t)
— The mindset shift Linda used to finally go viral
— Why vulnerability is more powerful than virality
— How to grow on LinkedIn without selling your soul
— And why niching down might be overrated
