From Blind Posting to Data-Driven Influence That Connects

Denise Murtha Bachmann in Blue TV livestream discussing how to Stop Guessing and Use LinkedIn Data to Drive Strategy Flow

Engagement Looks Good—But Is It the Right Kind?

That was the focus this week on Blue TV’s Stop Guessing: Use LinkedIn Data to Drive Strategy Flow, where our host Denise Murtha Bachmann (CEO, Sellovatorz, Inc.) unpacked how to make sense of LinkedIn analytics so you can stop guessing and start growing intentionally.

“We’re not here for views. We’re here for results. And those are two very different things.”
— Denise Murtha Bachmann

The Guest-work Strategy Guide

Denise’s Guide for Guess-Work Strategy

Most people treat metrics as proof of visibility. Denise reframed them as strategy tools—especially when aligned with clear business objectives.

From Guesswork → To Data-Led Decisions

Here’s how she broke it down:

✅ Start with Purpose
Are you selling a service? Building thought leadership? Networking? Your LinkedIn “why” should guide which metrics matter most.

✅ Content Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Videos, carousels, and text posts each attract different audiences. Test consistently for 2–3 weeks to see what lands—and mix it up intentionally.

✅ Focus on Profile Views + Engagement Quality
A viral post feels good, but did it attract your target decision-makers? Look beyond reactions—who’s actually checking your profile and leaving thoughtful comments?

✅ Format + Timing Matter
Test everything: one-line posts vs. paragraphs, weekday vs. weekend timing. Denise pointed out Saturdays can be surprisingly effective for personal content.

✅ Track Your SSI Score—But Don’t Worship It
Your Social Selling Index (SSI) is a helpful barometer, but not a content guide. Use it as a pulse check—not a strategy.

Stats to Know:

  • Video content drives 1.4× more engagement than other LinkedIn formats, with impressions rising 36% year-over-year ( socialmediatoday )

What You Can Do Now

  • Clarify Your LinkedIn Goal
     Before checking stats, ask: What am I trying to achieve?
  • Review Who’s Engaging
     Are the commenters your ideal clients, partners, or referrals?
  • Improve Your Content’s First 10 Seconds
     Retention drops fast—lead with something irresistible
  • Test Posting on “Off” Days
     Try Saturdays for lighter or personal content that builds trust

How ‘AI Zombies’ Reflect Society’s Digital Drift: GPT-5, Quantum Shifts & UBI Dreams Unmasked

Are we turning into drones of our own making? In a world run by GPTs and predictive tools, human agency is fading fast.

In Silicon Zombies Ep. 189, streamed live on July 31, 2025 at 12 PM ET, host Nick Larson sat down with futurist and entrepreneur Cory Warfield to explore a jarring metaphor: AI Zombies—humans slowly surrendering autonomy to algorithmic suggestion. Together, they explored tech disruptions like GPT-5, Universal Basic Income (UBI), AI music generators, Universal Basic Compute, and room temperature quantum computing but through a cultural and philosophical lens.

Nick and Cory do not intend to take the stage and give just another “tech talk.” They intend to challenge creators, leaders, and users of AI to resist blind automation of everything, rewriting our existing humanity. 

Silicon Zombies AI culture livestream conversation

“We're not afraid of the tech—we're afraid of what it's doing to our autonomy.” — Cory Warfield

In this livestream, Cory unpacked his metaphor: we aren't just using AI. We're often becoming dependent on it—scheduling our days, editing our thoughts, and even forming beliefs based on machine recommendations.

Nick Larson guided the session with questions about the implications of GPT-5’s default integrations into creative, corporate, and civic workflows. The episode struck a chord with listeners across tech and education sectors.

Why did it resonate? The conversation hit a nerve because it reframed GPT-5 not as a tool to "replace" human effort, but as a partner in idea generation, strategic thinking, and global systems design. For tech professionals, it challenged the automation narrative. For educators, it opened new questions about digital equity, creative cognition, and AI ethics across geopolitical boundaries.

Verified Data Supporting the ‘AI Zombie Thesis’

future tech strategies GPT-5 UBC BRICS creativity

“We shape the tools, and they reshape us. Let’s at least choose how.” — Cory Warfield

Key takeaways:

  • Treat GPT‑5 features as collaborators—not editors.
  • Advocate for Universal Basic Compute as digital infrastructure and equity.
  • Encourage strategic use of off‑screen creativity: journaling, art, dialogue.
  • Monitor technology environments shaped by BRICS nations, which may diverge from Silicon Valley norms.

Next Steps: How to Lead Now 

✔️ For Corporate Leaders: Launch “ethical tech literacy” sessions to unveil default settings and hidden biases.
✔️ For Educators: Expand curricula to include GPT‑5 literacy and AI mindfulness practice.
✔️ For Policy Advocates: Support Universal Basic Compute infrastructure for underserved regions.
✔️ For Individuals: Conduct a weekly digital audit—highlight where AI assists vs. where you innovate.

Future Forward: How AI in Healthcare & Retail Is Rewriting the Rules of Experience and Efficiency

Healthcare is reactive. Retail is fragmented. Both suffer from inefficient data use.

As industries race to digitize, few are thinking strategically—until now. On July 29, 2025, the livestream “Live with Top Voices Unite: What’s Fueling the Future of Health, Retail, & AI” brought together two powerhouse hosts:

  • Nitin Gupta– LinkedIn Top Voice and global AI strategist, renowned for helping Fortune 500s and startups transform data into measurable enterprise success.
  • Dr. Beate Lloyd– Senior executive and portfolio strategist in food, nutrition, and health innovation, with a gift for translating science into scalable consumer outcomes.

Together, they led a high-impact conversation exploring not just how AI is transforming industries—through customer experience, clinical decision support systems, and retail analytics—but how trust is reshaping the way we lead these changes.

Whether you're in tech, medicine, or commerce, this event revealed a clear message: predictive, personalized, and proactive systems aren’t just coming—they’re already here.

Virtual health AI talk with Beate Lloyd and Nitin Gupta

Data Isn’t Just a Tool—It’s a Responsibility.

“The more personalized the insight, the more trust we can earn. Whether that’s in a hospital bed or a checkout line.” — Dr. Beate Lloyd

The session highlighted how AI in healthcare is expanding beyond diagnostics to enable full-cycle patient journeys through clinical decision support systems, real-time data, and population health models.

In retail, Nitin emphasized how predictive analytics and AI for customer experience are powering operational agility and intimacy at scale.

“We’re not just talking about AI anymore—we’re talking about intent.” — Nitin Gupta

But alongside the innovation came a question that grounded the conversation in something deeply human:

Can trust be achieved through title or rank, or is it earned through leadership marked by clarity, consistency, and connection?

Loes Pijpers, one of the other CEOs in the audience representing the Emerging Voices Unite community, posed this reflection during the session—and the response was powerful.

Dr. Beate Lloyd responded candidly:

“I don’t think you can have a title and make that be somebody you trust. I think it’s in how you’re performing. It’s how you set the example.”

Nitin added,

“If we provide more clarity and consistency to our team—that okay, this is the larger picture that you are aiming for, that we are looking out for—that builds trust.”

Their message was clear: as AI accelerates growth, it’s leadership that ensures we don’t lose our footing.

Trust is not automatic. It is not granted by hierarchy. It is cultivated—through vision, communication, and action.

In an age where AI systems are becoming more predictive, personalized, and proactive, this session reminded us:

Technology may move the needle, but people move the mission.

Data Fueling the Change

As leaders guide their teams through digital transformation, AI is no longer just an optional enhancement—it’s the backbone of scalable, strategic decision-making.

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • Predictive analytics in retail will hit $23.8B by 2027, growing at 21.5% CAGR. (MarketsandMarkets)
  • The global AI in healthcare market is projected to exceed $188B by 2030, driven by clinical decision tools. (Statista, 2024)

These figures aren’t just financial forecasts—they’re indicators of where leadership focus must shift.

Because while AI fuels the systems, it’s clarity and trust from leaders that guide how those systems serve people.

Nitin hosted Beate to show us that the intersection of data, ethics, and experience design will define tomorrow’s leaders. The main takeaways from this livestream?

  • Innovation isn't just about scale—it's about human insight.
  • Predictive systems must enhance decisions, not just accelerate them.
  • The future belongs to organizations that make AI empathetic and transparent.

What You Can Do Next 

✔️ Healthcare Teams: Assess your EHR and diagnostic tools for AI decision layers.
✔️ Retail Leaders: Integrate real-time analytics dashboards for dynamic pricing and stock control.
✔️ Founders & Innovators: Develop CX-first tech—not just feature-rich tools.
