Episode 15: Spam, Scam or Just Not Relevant? – Leadership Insights with me, myself and I

“Is this a scam, a spam, or simply not for you?” 

In this special solo episode, I take the mic to explore a growing concern I’ve seen across LinkedIn: shady offers, suspicious connections, and too-good-to-be-true opportunities—especially when you're job searching and vulnerable.

But here’s the catch: the real question isn’t just whether it’s a scam. It’s whether it’s relevant and aligned with your goals. If it isn’t, I’d argue it doesn’t matter whether it’s a scam, a spam, or a valid offer—it’s just noise.

💡 Tune in to hear:
✔️ Four real-life LinkedIn encounters—from fake headhunters to paid speaker slots
✔️ How my mantra “Be open yet skeptical” helps me triage so-called opportunities
✔️ Why we all need to clean up our LinkedIn connections (and how to start)
✔️ How to protect your professional network—not just yourself—from low-trust actors
✔️ The difference between followers and connections—and why it matters now more than ever

Whether you’re job hunting, building your brand, or simply navigating today’s noisy digital world, this episode offers practical steps to stay grounded, vigilant, and aligned.
