Two years on my LinkedIn

From October 2024 to September 2026 I published 97 posts on my own LinkedIn and shared 80 more with my own text on top. Together my posts got 2,260 reactions and 86,422 views.

Most of the first year was crypto memes, with one to ten reactions each, and in the summer of 2025 fewer than 200 people followed me. In January 2026 I took over sales and marketing at Aryze, and the posts changed with the job. In February I started a newsletter on LinkedIn, Thought From Sensei, on how money actually moves, where it breaks and what it costs. My profile banners carry the same line.

The posts that reached the most people were from trips. SBC Summit in Malta at the end of April was my first event in gaming and betting, and my post from it got 153 reactions and 4,998 views. My post from iGB Live in London in July, about the conference and our dinner, got 153 reactions and 7,744 views.

Posts that made an argument travelled less. In June I wrote that UK open banking payments went from 25 million in 2021 to 351 million in 2025, and asked why cards are still the default. I made the charts for it with Claude, and it got 611 views.

In July I introduced myself properly, in a post that began "Six months ago I would have told you LinkedIn wasn't for me." I wrote my real numbers and a few lines on how I work, and it got 3,544 views.
