Too unprofessional?


How Breaking "Professional" Rules Changed My Career

Devin Reed

Let's be real: "Professional" is just code for

Don't rock the boat
Don't question authority
Don't show personality

I spent years trying to be "professional" online.

Measuring every word.
Filtering every opinion.
Dulling my personality.

And what did it get me?

Stressed. Stuck. Frustrated.

Then I tried something radical: I started being myself on LinkedIn.

Not the polished, corporate version.
Not the "thought leader" version.
Just... me.

The response?

The same authenticity they called "unprofessional" started attracting real opportunities.

And it changed my career and life.

Want to know the best part?

The moment you stop trying to "be safe" is the moment you start standing out.

And that's where the magic happens.

Because your voice isn't just powerful.

It's profitable.

Tas Bober has a similar experience. And a powerful story.
