Welcome to the $100k Playbook with Mike Koziol


Most LinkedIn advice pushes content and chasing influencer comment sections. In this episode, I am breaking down a practical, principle-driven approach that actually drives business:

  • Why DMs should be 70–80% of your effort
  • How profile optimization and content support DM conversations
  • Building know-like-trust the right way
  • Thought leadership vs. hand-raising posts (and the lead quality trade-offs)
  • Why awareness, clear offers, and asking for the sale matter
  • Smart outreach that isn’t sleazy, plus how comments can mirror DMs publicly


If you’re a consultant, freelancer, or agency owner looking for clients on LinkedIn, this episode shows you where to focus and how to execute.
