Linked – 15 Social Media Stats to Share with Business Leaders
The article itself is fairly common information on why social media is the way to reach people for marketing, recruiting, etc. but this stat shocked me: • Only 13% of Millenials (13-34 yo) use LinkedIn.

Linked: These 7 productivity “rules” are harmful, anti-scientific myths
But notice what is missing from all of this advice? Any actual science. Or, for that matter, any interviews with the thousands of people who actually do the same thing, and aren’t nearly as successful. Sure, maybe Jeff Bezos gets up every day at 5 AM, goes for a run, then schedules some deep-think time, all before he even checks email.

But then, those articles are much harder to write and would involve a lot more work, and even admit that you can’t hack your way to a billion dollars in success. We wouldn’t want to do anything like that, would we?

But when society defines, frames,…
