Michelle J. Raymond on LinkedIn’s Algorithm, AI, and Company Pages that Actually Work

LinkedIn strategist and author Michelle J. Raymond joins host Chris Nelson to unpack what’s really working on the platform right now.

Michelle shares her path from B2B sales to building a thriving LinkedIn community, why podcasting drives the most loyal clients, and how to repurpose one recording into newsletters, shorts, and search-friendly YouTube content.

We dig into the recent LinkedIn algorithm shift (lower impressions, higher relevance), what video formats are worth your time, and how to use AI for efficiency without losing your voice.

Michelle also lays out a practical playbook for **company pages, **the “Power of Two” (brand + person), simple page wins that build trust, and why a live, credible page can tip deals your way.

If you care about human-first content, measurable growth, and protecting brand trust in the AI era, this episode is a keeper.
