Mic Adam has been on LinkedIn since the very beginning. We're talking 22-plus years, 17,000 connections, and a career spent helping B2B teams across Europe and North America turn the platform into a real business engine. So you'd think he would have been the first LinkedIn expert to write a book. As it turns out, he tried twice before, and the same wall stopped him both times. In this conversation, Mic shares what finally changed, how he wrote his manuscript in about 60 days, and why there isn't a single screenshot anywhere in the book.

"Mic Drop: The Human Side of LinkedIn" isn't a how-to guide, and that's entirely by design. Based in Bruges, Belgium, Mic is a LinkedIn trainer, consultant, and data nerd who has spent decades watching the platform evolve from a glorified online resume into a 1.3-billion-member ecosystem. And his big idea is simple: trust is the new currency, and no algorithm is going to change that. If you've been thinking about writing a book and wondering whether your expertise is really worth putting on paper, Mic's story might be exactly the nudge you need.
