Them: So why do you prefer LinkedIn to Facebook?

The messages sitting in my Facebook DMs:





(Yes, this is actually a message in my Facebook DMs 🥲)

Strategic B2B Content Marketing for Founders & Businesses | Second Guessing Your Approach To Content Marketing? Let’s Change That! | Here To Help You Level Up

"Hey Marina, just saw your post!"





Right.. Why didn't I see you comment though? 🤨

I'm no relationship therapist, but here's the number one thing I believe you should ask your partner if they mention wanting to get married or have kids..




"Is this something you really want, or are you just looking for content to help you finally go viral on LinkedIn?" 🤨

When it's 3am but you just thought of a post idea for a client 🙂‍↕️





And that's on working overtime at Retold 💜

LinkedIn is interesting because what do you mean I have nearly 30k connections but always see the same 3 people's posts in my feed?







Edit: Like 16k connections (I looked at followers earlier, but same question remains..)

How life feels when you accept that not everyone holds the same opinion as you, and you don't actually have to make it your life's mission to change everyone's mind 💜

Things that I thought would ruin my life but didn't?

- My first and only B+ on a high school report card

- Dropping my history of cooking college class after the withdrawal deadline

- Not getting accepted into a private high school

- Switching majors with less than a year left until I was done with that degree 

- Realizing I was bad at an instrument I thought I’d be great at

- Outgrowing a 12-year friendship that once felt like it would last forever 

- Taking a job that wasn’t the “right” move on paper

- Saying no to opportunities everyone told me to say yes to

- Launching a business after doing a few weeks of prep work and having no business plan on paper

- Becoming a marketer even though I got a Master's Degree in Political Science (thought I'd be fighting human trafficking internationally by now, but here we are)

- Letting go of versions of myself that I spent years on

- Getting rejected for roles that I was really, really excited for 

Somewhere along the way, I learned that “this will ruin my life” usually just means “this is uncomfortable and doesn't align with my initial plan". 

And discomfort is a terrible fortune teller.

What did you think would ruin your life.. That absolutely didn’t?

Real-time photo of me deleting my post minutes after going live, just because it doesn't align with the current version of me anymore.

I've grown. I'm a different woman than I was then. We all change.

2020 on LinkedIn vs 2026 on LinkedIn.

IYKYK.

But the good news.. Is Retold is here in 2026 😏

I'm challenging myself to do the impossible..



I'm going to stop going through 2 weeks of my own LinkedIn content in 2 days. 

I just get super excited when I think of ideas for posts, and even though I tell myself, "Nice, this will get me through to next month!" I always end up sharing them almost immediately. 

And when I create for my clients at Retold, I also always remind them.. "Don't post it all at once!" 

So, if you see me posting more than 2 times in one day.. Just know, I've failed 😅

How often do you create content here?

I don’t think AI will ever replace marketers. But some jobs? Already halfway there.

This was our waiter at lunch the other day.
Polite. Efficient. No small talk. No tipping.

And not human.

Me and my friend? We didn’t hate it.

I care a lot about the human element, just not for every interaction. 

Taking an order and dropping off food doesn’t need a personality attached to it, at least for me. 

And when I think of how out of hand tipping culture has gotten in some countries.. I think maybe robot waiters are the answer 🤷

How about you, where do you draw the line?

PS - Retold is all about making sure marketing never loses the human touch 💜

I don't know who needs to hear this..

But if your colleagues and employees are the only people liking your LinkedIn post..

Everyone can see that 🫣

And it's not a great look.

💜 Retold

Some people take LinkedIn so seriously, like we aren’t all flesh blobs on a giant rock hurtling through space 🫥

“You’re so lucky you're extroverted, Marina!”

Thanks! That’s the end result of a very specific character arc.. 

It started in elementary school, when my 'friends'  (one of whom tried to schedule a call with me on LinkedIn a few years ago) noticed I was mirroring them just to fit in. They pointed it out. Repeatedly. Which is a great way to make a kid hyper-aware of everything they ever say or do. 

So I course-corrected.

From that point on, my goal was simple. I wanted to disappear into the background. Be quiet. Don’t stand out. Don’t give anyone material. Get good grades, get a job, and never see these people again once school is over.

And my strategy worked. 

Fast forward a few years to college and suddenly I’m “confident".

“Outgoing"

“Great with people".

What you’re actually seeing is someone who spent years learning how to read a room and control how they’re perceived because not doing so once came with consequences.

So yes. I can talk to anyone now, which can be really convenient. 

But it wasn’t born from being naturally out there or social. 

Like marketing, it was something I learned. But unlike marketing, it came out of sheer necessity.

The things that look effortless and lucky are often the ones resulting from years and years of hard work and effort. 

Don't forget that next time you call someone lucky for being a certain way 💜

When someone DMs me a pitch and tries to build trust by name-dropping random influencers they've worked with, and I'm just like..

Me: I just don't get why people comment on my posts without reacting to them 🤨

Also me: 😶‍🌫️

If you come to LinkedIn to brag about how many books you've read, this is what I imagine your reading list looks like.

Quality over quantity y'all, come on now 🙃

What's the last book you read?

PS - I know a lot of y'all are reading non-fiction, and that's awesome, but fiction is what gets my brain going for Retold most days! Helps keep me creative 😎 Anyone else team fiction?

You know what's really frustrating?... more

Me: I'm an experienced marketer. I see through all the psychological tricks. Marketing rarely works on me.

Also me: Ohh that wine MUST be good, those geese are so cute!!




The wine was gross by the way 🥲 Perfect for using in cream of mushroom soup, though!

David Knickerbocker

I think I read this for the first time in 2017 or so, but I don’t even know exactly anymore. This is the book that captivated me with regards to Network Science and Graph Theory.

I could not put this down. It led me to mapping out production dataflows around the world, getting pulled onto an AI research team, detecting ransomware and identifying other unknown malware, creating three companies, building reliable realtime AI interfaces w temporal graphrag attached to “living systems”, and I’m just getting started. 

Pretty important book. 

So, now, in 2026, I bought a brand new copy and am reading it again. 

And it is even better than the first time, because I have done many of the things he has described, like mapping out the internet. I used his ideas and work as inspiration and went builder mode, back around 2019, which is why I build differently. 

I love this book. You should read it.

There is something just so relaxing about practicing and improvisating w fingerpicking. I’ve used guitar picks for 31 years, but about two years ago I started working on independence from them as I like the flexibility and creativity that fingerpicking unlocks. 

I’m working at it. I started at punk rock and Radiohead at age fifteen, not classically trained. I’ve enjoyed taking inspiration from a lot of different techniques and genres, not just one. Work in progress. In ten years this will be solid. 

This song is “Sway as We Kiss” from the video game Elder Scrolls Online. I’m not trying to cover it, just playing in the chord progressions.  

This Gibson Hummingbird is ridiculous. It sounds good no matter if I am playing in bed while on reading breaks, or anywhere. 12/10, do recommend. 

Thought it’d be fun to take a “Saturday reading under blankets and also playing guitar every now and then” video. 😁

What a sweet kitty. I woke up a few hours ago, but my ears are ringing. It’s hard to remember to rest, sometimes, and I am always gogogo!!! with graph and data work. 

Eddie just walked in the room, walked up to me, and put his arm on me like a hug. Then he laid down for a nap. 🥰

I built GrooveSeeker’s GraphRAG last night and it is really cool. I’m gonna play w it and write about it soon.

First users are using the Living Library of Knowledge and I am LOVING the feedback. 

Everything is very exciting.

I have a phrase from some science fiction that I was working on: “return to the song”.

I’ve hit my milestones. My jira is clear. Things are built. I’m returning to baseline, to the song. Hard to describe, it’s more of a feeling. 

Return to the Song.

Eddie is helping me. He is so heavy. I guess I live on this bed, now. Haha

Weirdly warm sunny day. I will take it. ❤️

Good day to play outside.

This was a very nice guitar weekend. It was nice to stop thinking about all the crazy stuff I do and just play music. Thanks for being enthusiastic on my music posts. It's nice to feel like a human and have a weekend. These last two weekends were my first two "real" weekends (the last two weeks) since about August, so it's been nice to finally rest. I have just been go-go-go trying to build something that will help people.

I'm building a different future. I've been pretty open about that. I don't follow crowds, I build differently. If you like the sound of that, please message me.

I'm still in guitar mode right now, enjoying my weekend. But this week, I would love to meet other founders and people who are like me. I am a people-first kind of person, not chasing big fish. Please say hi if this resonates with you. I am an introvert, attempting to do my part, right here.

I am not rushing to find people who will pay for this. I am going at the right speed, finding my crew and people I can help.

This is really cool to explore. Just exploring the Living Library of Knowledge's primary database. I'm always going to love this graph stuff. I'm not zoomed in on the activity, but this is stuff happening across the United States. There is a lot that happens in a single day.

Just sharing screenshots. They give perspective into the amount of stuff actually happening all the time. We often only hear about a few things. With Verdant Intelligence, information leads to awareness. Your AIs will be empowered to be able to answer about what is happening in the world, as it happens.

This is also a valuable tool for research, and database access is available. Please message me if this sounds useful to you. Platform access is already beginning to open up.

I don't see a whole lot of difference.

2005 Blogs: Build a website in ten minutes using Ruby on Rails!

2026 Blogs: Build a website in ten minutes using Agentic AI!

Any tool that you can build reliably with is useful. The reliability bit is on you, anyway, not on the tool. I have been happy to meet non-techies who have been thrilled with the new ability of being able to build things. Their goal wasn't to write code.

Insight: they apparently understand building better than a lot of coders.

Coding is not everyone's goal. Coding is NEVER my goal, and I don't use vibe tools. Building a reliable thing is most people's real goal. Even the code will eventually fade away, someday.

Was having a conversation with a friend. One-upmanship is an eternal thing in this industry. It has been a thing for as long as the www has been a thing, from what I can remember. Worthless thing.

I remember at the www2005 conference in Japan meeting a guy who mentioned to me that his grandmother was using Ruby on Rails to build things she wanted. Legendary.

Builders build.

Just playing around w the guitar. 

For the longest time, I did not ever want to sing. I decided as a kid that I did not like singing, and I turned that idea off two years ago. 

So, for about 25 years, I played guitar but never sang. So I kinda developed a way of playing that makes my guitar do the singing for me. 

But it’s just stuff I picked up from listening to a lot of folk music and many genres. 

No big story. Just sharing. Now I’m opening up to singing. There’s a song behind this, rooted in world history.

Feel like I have always been Verdant Intelligence

Hi everyone. I wrote a new article. This is my only spontaneous article in the series, so far! I had to write it! This was awesome to remember and to write. 

This is a story about how eight years ago I had an idea to convert the Book of Genesis from the Bible (or any ancient text for that matter) into a graph that could be explored. This graph completely changed my life. Please have a read. This could change your life.

I love Packt and I always will. 

Lately, I have been very busy building my own company and platform. I have been a bit tired and kinda burnt out, but I persist. 

So, when Packt mentioned this book to me, I was happy, relieved. I learned OOP back around 2004, and it is so nice to just come back home, so to speak, and read a book such as this. 

I’ll have more to say as I get through the reading. Cool book, and absolutely practical. 

Returning to foundations is one of my favorite feelings. 

Check it out. Looks like it is 20% off right now, too. Lucky, accidental timing!

100 Days of Networks | David Knickerbocker | Substack

I just want to say thank you very much to the readers of my blog. I just saw the nicest subscriber message, and my heart is very full. Thank you very much. 

I love doing this writing, because it is a very important topic. I like to share important information with people. People can be uplifted by learning new things that empower them. It can be very beneficial to learn useful skills.

In 2016, I personally used Graphs and Network Science in my Data Operations work. I didn't come from the Social Sciences, or academia. I come from the world of fixing important servers and databases... I come from the world of being on calls at 3am and needing to fix the thing so it doesn't break anymore.

In 2018, I realized that Graph and Natural Language Processing belong together, and I wrote about it on the last article on my blog, about the Genesis Graph, my origin story. In 2018, I was using Graph and Natural Language Processing together for things such as malware detection, and other cybersecurity things.

In 2021, three years later, I was so frustrated by people still not getting that Graph and Natural Language Processing go together that I gave up every weekend for a year and a half and I wrote a 400 page book about the importance of Graph and Natural Language Processing together. It's pretty much a love letter to Graph and NLP. <3

In 2026, people have realized that Graph and Natural Language Processing are very useful together, and GraphRAG is useful in building reliable AI. I have three, and they are very useful. Reliable AI is a very nice thing! On my blog, I show you how to build them from scratch!

I hope you enjoy the writing. If you read it and learn from it, you will be ahead and able to build reliable things. I really love the friendships that have come from this series and across my Graph Life. I've met so many wonderful people and have had so many amazing adventures.

I will probably never stop writing this series. This is already the second iteration, and the first one went past 100. This is an innovation forge.

#100daysofnetworks

Influence networks are always so interesting. It's one thing to say something, but narrative and information is carried by more than sources. To understand anything, you need to understand first how information itself is constructed.

#100daysofnetworks Verdant Intelligence

Hello everyone,

#100daysofnetworks just blew past 900 subscribers and is flying towards 1000! Incredible...

This is crazy. In 2021, I set off to write a book about not-super-popular topic, Network Science. 

I didn't want to write another popular machine learning book and make more money. There were already a lot of those. I would just be more noise. I wanted to uplift the industry, give it some new tools and ways to understand the world.

So, I wrote a book about Network Science with Python, and after three years, it is STILL 4.9/5.0 on Amazon, which is just crazy, because I was so afraid that everyone was going to hate it.

And then I made this weird blog where I talked about things like ecosystems, temporal network analysis, reverse boycott playback, living systems, bursts, artificial life.... what a weird blog.

And yet! 900 and climbing fast!

And through it, I am meeting people who I will collaborate and partner with to build a better future.

Unbelievable. The blog is paying enough to support the Artificial Life Research database, COMPLETELY. I am just incredibly thankful to you.

I have been quiet lately. Just focused. I can share cool screenshots, but you've seen them. I'll share more, soon. The Living Library of Knowledge is a thing, people see it, and people are now using it.

Related, please reach out to me if you would like to build a better future. I meet good people through this blog and through my writing. I am already shy. If you are shy too, we may never meet. I wrote this, to try to be outgoing. :D

#100daysofnetworks

Hi everybody. I've made some nice improvements to #100daysofnetworks

You can always access it at https://lnkd.in/gEAKZMGe (lol thanks LinkedIn, that's memorable)

I wanted to give the website a better look and make it a bit more usable as a resource. 

So, if you scroll down, you will not only see recent articles, you will see the most popular articles, the top articles.

I typically recommend starting at the start, but after the latest article, you should start there, and then go to day 1 and read my book. The latest article is a very good reset.

I love this series. I can't imagine ever stopping. It will go beyond 100, for sure. That is a legacy name I came up with in 2020, I think. It doesn't fit anymore, but I'm keeping it.

I can tell when the universe wants me to write a new article. My subscriber count flatlines, and I can almost hear, “We are waiting.” 😁

Hehe. 

I know, I know. Soon…

There are already 63 articles to read and learn from! Enjoy!

Here is my most recent! https://lnkd.in/gnKrMiYz

Completely successful weekend.

1. Chapter One of Graph: Zero to Hero has been written

2. The Living Library of Knowledge is opening up and people have begun using it

3. GrooveSeeker's GraphRAG interface will be built soon

Have a read, and please send me a message if you would like some free stickers! These are limited. :)
