I've been wanting to play around with some open datasets that I know about, and finally got some time to work on it in the last week.

My first week of "centaur" (AI-assisted) posts are out the door. I wrote a month's worth of newsletter+LinkedIn content in a few days, and I thought I'd talk a bit about how I'm doing that!

This is going to be a full week as I start a new consulting contract. It's a short one, but even short ones help pay the bills. 🙂 The main challenge will be threading in time for LinkedIn content marketing. Let's see how this goes!

Brief update, because I've fallen off the LinkedIn trolley the last few weeks. 😅
A good friend has been giving me lessons in networking, and I've been doubling down on a series of local networking events that I've discovered, with lots of follow-up coffee meetings.

So far, I've narrowed my initial ICP* down to "US-based Director+ level executives of small corporations with “Innovation” in their LinkedIn profile (not HR)".

I think the hardest thing for this senior-software-engineer-turned-consultant to learn has been to get really narrow on my ideal client profile.
No, that's not narrow enough. Narrower.
No, narrower.
Narrower still.
Sigh. I'm still working on it.

GM. Is #buildinpublic still a thing worth doing? I've been going several weeks now on a new initiative to build an audience on LinkedIn to support my software consulting business. Going to try documenting my experiences here.
We'll see how this goes.
