The roast
Oscar’s career trajectory is a perfect case study in AI disruption: he realized robots would replace his design job, so he pivoted to the only thing less intellectually rigorous than AI—ghostwriting LinkedIn posts for people who are too busy being "CEOs" to write their own. He’s essentially a professional coat-tail rider who rebranded his marriage certificate as a Chief Operating Officer title.
About Oscar
I spent 5 years building a career in an industry thats going to be wiped out by AI in the next two.I coached people in that industry, taught workshops, and built a TikTok following recommending tools.But with every new tool I discovered the clearer it became.Product Design as I knew it was a thing of the past.So I had to make a choice.Either, I struggle to get one of the few remote design roles available between millions of other Designers before AI could do the heavy lifting…or I expand on the other skills I had picked up along the way.You see, my coaching business for new designers had a steady stream of inbound clients since day one. And they all came from LinkedIn.I had posts go viral multiple times on TikTok and LinkedIn.I knew how to create content that not only converted but also got shared. A lot.But I never identified as a “Marketer” I didn’t study that. That was my wife.(Molly Stovold, CEO of Sitting Pretty. LinkedIn’s fastest growing inbound marketing agency).Molly’s business was growing faster than she could keep up.She needed a systems guy, who knew her strategies like the back of their hand.Someone who’d listened to her go on and on about what content frameworks convert and social selling techniques that fill the pipeline every day for the past 3 years.Someone who had put them into practice to build something for themselves.Someone who had done it with structure, processes, and design thinking integrated into literally all of it to make it make sense to non marketers.By this stage you probably know what I am about to say…She knew she needed me before I did.Next thing I knew, I was officially a Marketer.And so together we are building and scaling Sitting Pretty to $1m ARR. It took us 5 months to get to $300k and we are showing every step of the way here in public.Follow along to see what works (and what doesn’t) or book a call to apply for us to build your personal brand on LinkedIn.We’re pretty good at it:→ It took us 4 months to take Tanya’s brand to no.1 UK creator for Online Business on LinkedIn→ 3 months to transform a 75 year old lawyer’s dormant LinkedIn into 27k followers and a $25k coaching program we’re selling through the platform→ And Martijn’s web design agency went from nothing to a hitting capacity with a waitlist in only 3 months

There is only one thing I love more than being a dad. Being a present dad. With my wife and I running our LinkedIn marketing agency together and our personal brands bringing in new clients, we get to set our working hours. Sure, this means late nights sometimes, but it also means spending a Tuesday on the beach instead of our desks. We’ve both been there for our daughter's first laugh, her first time sitting up, and her first steps. This is a privilege I do not take lightly and am grateful for every day. And all of this started with me feeling very uncomfortable publishing my first

Apparently I am very predictable. Last friday, I was on a check-in call with a client who told me he knew what my answer was gonna be before asking his question. He wanted to know if he should write a post about going viral for the first time and if so, whether the angle he was going for would work. I’m all for celebrating wins but while going viral is a nice ego boost, it’s completely irrelevant from the audience's POV. … unless you can tie it back into your services. He said this was exactly the answer he expected from me, so yeah, I guess I really am predictable. Or maybe just cons

I was a week away from becoming a carpenter. Then my now wife told me there was another way. I had lived in camper vans for two years, making money as a tattoo artist wherever I went, but wanted to build a more sustainable career. I always liked building things by hand, and coming from a small German village, that meant becoming a carpenter. But when my (now) wife asked why not to look for ways to turn my tattoo skills into a career, I listened. And decided to study UX design online. Fast forward a year and I landed a fully remote corporate job. Great. Except my boss was horrible a
