What if the secret to building a audience of over 160,000 followers wasn't about grinding out content for 10 hours a day but instead it was about finding the 20% of AI prompts that generate 80% of the results, effectively creating an artificial version of yourself to do the heavy lifting?

I brought on Charlie Hills a LinkedIn growth strategist that leverages AI tools to create an authentic personal brand. Charlie has over 160k+ followers on LinkedIn and turns audiences into opportunities.

We break down why context engineering now beats prompt engineering, how to build a lightweight AI version of you that keeps your voice and judgement, and where AI agents actually make sense (and where humans still win).

Charlie shares the visual tactics (carousels/cheat sheets) and we finish with a live audit of my LinkedIn profile so you can duplicate the same playbook for your own profile.
