Marta Rus: how to stand out on LinkedIn in the age of AI

November 12, 2025

Intro

From solo traveling India for six months to building a personal branding business, Marta Rus isn't teaching typical marketing tactics. In this conversation, Marta breaks down her "Heart-Led Founder" model: using deep authenticity and vulnerability to bypass the noise on Instagram and stand out to the 1% of users actually posting on LinkedIn. We debate the role of AI in creative writing (and why she still writes her first drafts by hand), discuss the "Soul Meter" concept for content, and share why sending voice notes in DMs is the highest ROI networking strategy you aren't using. If you want to build a personal brand that feels authentic rather than just purely strategic, this episode is for you.
