The Marketing Millennials

Mark Jung, Founder at Known and LinkedIn growth expert, joins the podcast to break down how to win on LinkedIn in 2026, from the new positive-signal-only feed, the LLM-trained algorithm, to the bio changes nobody is talking about.

Listen to find out how your bio now matters more than your follower count, and how a brand-new creator with 50 followers can get the reach of someone with 50,000.

Plus, get the link, hook, and posting moves Mark and Daniel use, and what cohort seeding is (and why it's choosing who sees your content).

If your LinkedIn reach has dropped, your content performance feels inconsistent, or you're just tired of guessing what works, this episode is for you.

A logo on a jersey doesn't cut it anymore. So, how do the best brands decide if a sports sponsorship deal is worth the money?

Daniel sits down with a panel that's seen every side of the deal: Sam Kilgore of Sponsor United, Marquise Watts (Who's worked with Under Armor, Adidas, & the Minnesota Timberwolves), Chris Lobono of Athlete Driven Worldwide, and Elliot Christiansen of Cleveland Construction.They get into why "the logo slap" is dying and what's replacing it, how brands move at the speed of culture (see Levi's cutout logo and the Heinz tape at the World Cup), and the real way to measure ROI when only 28% of fans can name a jersey patch.

Plus Marquise's rule for every deal he touches: all money ain't good money.If you're a Marketer who wants to make sponsorships actually pay off, this episode is for YOU.

There's a way to pull the most viral posts in your niche in about 10 seconds. But a lot of Marketers don't know it exists.In this Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel break down how to mine X (formerly Twitter) for viral content you can actually use. Daniel shares the exact Grok prompt he uses to surface trending posts from the last 48 hours. Jay walks through X's advanced search, and the "min_faves" trick that filters for only the posts hitting your engagement threshold. Then they go deeper: filtering by retweets, comments, date ranges, and media type to see exactly which hooks are landing.
