When Lee covered BetterTouchTool in Shows 1543 and 1547, he intimated that he wasn't done and would be releasing some tip videos in the future covering more nuanced features within the app. Well, it didn't take long for the first one to land and it could prove to be a game-changer for you. Floating Menus aren't talked about much however they pack a lot of power and you can configure them to display clickable triggers anywhere on the screen.
In this video, Lee walks you through two of his favourite setups. The first one is a small menu button that sits in the corner of your screen however when you hover over it, it expands to reveal 16 clickable buttons. The second showcases how you can configure different floating menus for different applications and this can really take your efficiency to another level.

"LinkedIn is dead now." Heard this a million times.
No, it isn't, you just need the right approach:
So many founders post randomly and run out of steam in weeks.
A strong brand can change the trajectory of your business.
But only if you have a strategy to scale it properly.
I recorded a 19-minute guide to prepare you for all the recent updates 👇

Watch the video to get up to date. Then follow these steps:
(See cheat sheet for the full breakdown)
1. Your North Star
Your personal brand needs one clear North Star for the next 90 days.
Ask yourself:
What does success genuinely look like 12 weeks from now?
2. The Positioning Triangle
Personal brands win when three things overlap:
1. Your expertise
2. A painful market problem
3. Your point of view
3. The Audience Clarity Map
There are only 3 groups you need to speak to:
- Buyers: The people who will pay you
- Aspirational followers: The people who amplify you
- Learners: Early-stage, curious, watching quietly
4. The Content OS
This is how I structure every content system I build:
1. Teach – frameworks, tactics, step-by-step
2. Think – opinions, observations, contrarian takes
3. Build – behind-the-scenes, lessons, mistakes
4. Sell – results, stories, clear offers
5. The Attention Engine
Consistency in personal brand requires a weekly execution system.
1. Idea Sourcing (60 minutes)
2. Batch Writing (2 hours)
3. Daily Engagement (15–20 minutes)
4. End-of-Week Review (20 minutes)
6. The Trust Ladder Framework
People buy from you because you’ve earned their trust based on:
1. Awareness
2. Relevance
3. Authority
4. Proof
5. Action
7. The Content Feedback Loop
Your audience will always tell you what to create next.
Each week, analyse:
- Your highest-performing post
- Your lowest-performing post
- Which topic resonated the most
- Which format could be repeated
8. The 3-Level Personal Brand Funnel
A strong personal brand is built to sell.
Your funnel should follow:
1. Top of Funnel: Content geared towards reach
2. Middle of Funnel: Deeper education (cheat sheets, carousels, etc)
3. Bottom of Funnel: Proof and clear transformations
9. The Growth Scorecard
You only need 5 metrics to know if your brand is working:
- Number of views
- Follower growth
- Engagement rate
- Inbound leads
- Newsletter signups
Your personal brand is either your biggest asset or a complete time drain.
The difference is the strategy you use to manage it.
