Congratulations LinkedIn Purity Police 👏 
YOU’VE DONE IT!

Nobody sounds like AI anymore.
Now we all sound like assholes instead.

Because apparently the new LinkedIn sport is “spot the  AI copy”:

“That’s an em dash. AI.”
“That’s a listicle. AI.”
“That sentence flowed too well. AI.”

Bro…

Sometimes a good writer is just a good writer.

You’re not morally superior because you didn’t use ChatGPT.

It doesn’t make you Stephen King.
It doesn’t even make you Budget King.

Here’s what actually matters in writing:

Make people feel something.
Make them think something.
Make them do something.

(Yeah I just used the rule of three, suck it.)

Good writing isn’t “human” or “AI.”

Good writing is whatever lands.

Judge the post by the impact.

Not by whether it includes an em dash.

OK?

Posting on LinkedIn is already hard as it is. 

So what if Tom used a little tool? 

Don't pick on Tom. 

Anyway…

I’m about to use an em dash AND a listicle in my next post.

Arrest me.

K thanks bye.

I supply words to the rich and busy. Part Owner of the “MEME team” and responsible for bringing fun back to LinkedIn, one meme at a time.

"I love you but..."
(This is sentence #1)

"I love you but I'm married"
(This is sentence #2)

Whenever i get hit on in the DMs I use sentence #2 as my reply.

It instantly ends the conversation.

Now imagine if I replied with the first sentence instead...

The person on the other end would start thinking:

He loves me but maybe he's gay
He loves me but maybe he's not gay
He loves me but maybe he's unsure
He loves me but may he's into rabbits more...

Basically sentence #1 will give them 500 times more incentive to try and FIND more information.

Sentence 2 will simply end the conversation...

The same applies to your hooks On LinkedIn.

Don't write a hook that ends the conversation.

Write a hook that wants them to read MORE. 

Si? 

Thanks for coming to my Teddy talk.

I've done UNSPEAKABLE THINGS for clients...

For example:

None of this was in the contract, but I did it anyway:

1) Find them a boyfriend. (It didn't work)
2) Fire people on their behalf.
3) Counsel them through a divorce.
4) Help them move money overseas (50k)
5) Pick their outfit for a keynote (yes, seriously)
6) Plan their wedding.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done for a client…

or had a client ask you to do?

I need to know I’m not alone 😅

Also tell me.

Did I do the right thing or should I have stuck by the agreement only? 

(No wrong answers, I'm genuinely curious)

Rookie Storytelling on LinkedIn: 

1. My partner cheated and I learnt about the attention economy
2. I used to be broke now I'm rich. (Buy my course to learn how)
3. I burned dinner and understood the value of multitasking.
4. I got lost hiking and discovered my career path.
5. My dog died and taught me writing. 

These stories might get you reactions. 
But they won't get you sales. 

Instead,

Expert Storytelling on LinkedIn: 

1. Your origin story (whotf are you and why are you here?) 
2. Your transformation story (How did you become good?) 
3. Your reflective story (What did you learn?) 
4. Your purpose story (Why are you doing this?) 
5. Your client story (How did you help someone else?) 

You can tell these using Ash's 6P framework. 

Protagonist: Who is this story about?
Present: Where does this story start? 
Problem: What was the challenge they faced?
Pit: What was the lowest point for them?
Progress: How did they get out of the pit?
Power: How did they regain their power? 

(Save this for whenever you decide to actually do it)

Whether you are looking for a job or looking for a client. 

These 5 stories will help you establish authority.

Now tell me, 

Why did you learn about B2B sales from marrying your partner? 😂👇

Documenting the journey of crafting a timeless coffee cup brand | CEO & Founder of Cupsly

My story isn’t about a polished entrepreneur. My journey hasn’t been traditional. I left school without an English qualification, uncertain of what the future held. 

That failure shaped me, it forced me to think differently, fall into business, and ultimately embrace creativity, resilience, and the belief that change is possible, even when doubted. Fast forward to today, I’m growing and scaling businesses while sharing the real lessons that come from it.

Are you struggling to grow an engaging community for your business or personal brand.

Stop right there, I think I have you covered ⬇️

This is me (Niall), I'm a 22-year-old who is fascinated by growing communities in the online space. Actual communities that have meaning and purpose.

Go and shoot your shot!!!

I hated people telling me how I should live my own life, you shouldn’t travel, you shouldn’t build a business, you should go and gain more experience first.

 This is what my life has been so far: 

Tried several businesses from the age of 14.
Left school without an English qualification.
Met other people on the same wavelength.
Started learning more about business.
Documenting my journey in real time.

That, to me, is living life

Do what feels right to you because you’ll soon find the people who are doing the same, and they’ll become friends like never before. 

People will always try to tell you don't do this do it this way but if you've got a really strong opinion about something give it ago because you can always go back through the same door but the opportunity might never happen again.

Growing @thistlescientific and sharing the lessons while I do

Excited to be back in the capital 🇬🇧

Yesterday,  we brought Thistle to London for this year's festival of genomics, but this year, bigger and way more special, as we share a closer look into our mission as an organisation.

London has always held a special place for me, as the capital of my home country. But more than that, it’s a city where we support, assist, and encourage researchers to continue their vital work in keeping the world safe. 

Today, we’re up ready for day two and the team and I can’t wait for even more incredible conversations.

No alternative text description for this image

Just a 25-year-old from a small county called Warwickshire who decided to go all in on their family business. 

I was a typical teenager who went to school, left without the qualifications I needed to get "a decent job", kept playing a little bit of professional rugby, then left with nothing really lined up. 

This was such a crucial stage in my life...
It's where I started to learn more about business. 

At 21 years old, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, and from that moment, everything started to make sense for me. 

The way I learned looked different.
The way I took action looked different.
The way I proceeded things looked different.

Understanding this allowed me to lean into my strengths the creative side, but not just that. It led me to understand the details of running a business. 

It's been full of trial and error throughout my entire life, but that's something we all should be looking for. It's where we develop, and now I get to do what I love, helping to continue to scale Thistle with the incredible team.

I’m really enjoying sharing more of this side of my journey.
The raw, honest, unfiltered side.

Last Friday was a special day...



5 years ago, I stepped into my family business, not expecting much. My mindset back then was: “It’s just a job until I figure out what I really want to do.”

5 years later, more invested and interested than ever. It's incredible to watch the business grow year on year, and last Friday was a big reminder of this for us.

We started mapping out the growth opportunities we have as a brand and organisation, and it reminded us of why we do this.

It's easy to continue to do what feels safe, comfortable and familiar, but as a team, we've always looked at the bigger picture.

How can we push a little further?
How can we become something even greater?”

That often means taking a little risk. The kind where you ask yourself if this works, it's going to change everything for us. The safe option feels comfortable, but keeps you in a bubble.

On Friday, this was the reminder we all left with.

You've got to take that bet on yourself.

I used to panic hearing the word strategy in business.

It sounded complicated... but it wasn’t.

I would hear the word and be like that sounds proper technical. I'd just nod like I understood exactly what it meant, when I didn't but now I get it and it's simple.

It's just a plan.

What are the objectives?
What action will you take to hit them?
Which data tells you it's working or it isn't?

We love to make words sound more complicated than they are. 

It's easy to overcomplicate things when you hear all of the advice online but it's simpler than you think. If something isn't working don't wait, go and find the reason why.

Try something. Learn. Adapt. Evolve. Repeat.
Just enjoy the process of figuring out.

That's what business is!

And that's a wrap for Festival of Genomics 2026. 

A full couple of days spent with our friends, team and partners. And this year felt extra special.

We finally started to share where we are going. We've got so much change happening behind the scenes, and soon we'll be able to announce it. We can't wait.

For us, these couple of days mean a lot. We get to meet so many different kinds of people. Well-established researchers & organisations who have spent decades doing incredible work, to students who are about to enter the industry.

But one thing never changes: it’s our chance to listen.

Listen to what researchers need, where they’re heading, and how we can continue developing and supporting their work even more. This still feels like the very beginning for us with so much more to give, and we can't wait to continue to work towards this.

Stop listening to too much advice.

Read that again... throughout my journey, I've fallen for many distractions. Stuff that didn't feel right personally, and so many of us are going through this.

There's advice here, there and everywhere.

And it's very hard to know which is the right or wrong advice, and you know what you'll never really know. The only way to find out is to...

Listen to your gut and try.

In a world full of advice after advice, trust yourself first. 
There's no right or wrong way to do anything.

If it works, it works!

P.S. Have a little day in the life vid

Yesterday, we moved closer to finalising the next chapter of Thistle.

And it's actually getting proper real now...

I've been very lucky to work on this project from the beginning. From the first idea all the way through the execution, but this project is more than that to us. It's not just another project; it's the next chapter in how we support even more researchers around the world.

But for many businesses, change can feel uncomfortable. It brings uncertainty and a little risk, but this is what we should be looking for. As you grow and develop as a business you brand evolves with you.

You become clearer with two questions:

Who you serve as a business?
How can you better support them?

That’s why it’s so important to bring the right people into the room.

People who debate, people who aren't scared of having hard conversations and people who keep it real. For us, that’s been the case since day one with Jo and Harry.

Both have been part of this journey from the start, helping shape, question, and build where Thistle is heading next. And it's one we're all excited for...

Remember, change is a good thing. Sitting still never is.

Last week, we shared changes to Thistle Scientific that will reflect the ambition we have as a company and a team.

It will bring us closer to researchers and allow us to be clear about what we're building together. We will also have the opportunity to display some of this next week at the Festival of Genomics.

We feel energised and ready to share what we've been working on for several months. As we enter this next phase, we're ready to help keep the world even safer, standing side by side with all researchers and organisations around the world.
