I talk to probably 5-10 CEO/CMO/CROs of B2B software scale-ups in the $5-50M ARR range every week. I'm not the first person to say this, but I've been feeling that the SaaS world is split in two right…

I dared to make my grandmother’s Gulasch yesterday. She died in 2021, so that’s the last time I ever had it. It was my favorite dish when I was a kid (and still is). Every time we would visit her, she…

Writing style breakdown

Core characteristics

Overall tone is conversational, grounded, and thoughtful.

It feels like a smart, articulate person talking directly to you in plain language.

- Mix of

Professional/informative (especially on LinkedIn/marketing topics)

Personal/reflective (family, food, values)

Occasionally ranty but measured (contracts, behavior)

Lightly humorous and self-deprecating (fanboy comment, “your employees aren’t funny”)

Not poetic or lyrical; more “clear spoken essay” than “writerly prose”.

Persuasive when needed, but in a subtle, logical way rather than hypey.

Formality

Casual-professional. The writer sounds like an experienced operator talking as a peer.

Heavy use of contractions (I’m, we’re, don’t, didn’t, can’t).

Comfortable with mild profanity when appropriate (“fucked up”, “sh*t”, “asshole”) to add emphasis and authenticity, not for edginess.

Emotional tone and energy

Medium energy. Never frantic; never sluggish.

Posts tend to be calm, reflective, and observational.

Even rants are controlled and reasoned, not hysterical.

Family posts are warm and affectionate, with understated sentimentality.

Business posts are confident but not chest-beating; more “here’s what I’m seeing” than “I know everything.”

- Strong use of real-life anecdotes, either

Personal/family (daughter, grandmother, holidays)

Professional (clients, contracts, founders, CEOs/CMOs/execs)

Frequent direct statements of “big takeaway”, “lesson”, “observation”.

Occasional rhetorical questions, especially near the end of posts, used to underline values or prompt reflection.

Liberal use of parentheses for asides, clarifications, examples.

Minimal metaphor; very literal and concrete.

- Occasional humor, especially

Self-deprecation (“Maybe I shouldn’t be this excited…”, “your employees aren’t funny”)

Dry or playful exaggeration (“I truly believe… good sh*t will come out”)

Addressing the reader

Frequent first-person singular “I”, occasional “we” when talking about his company.

- Second-person “you” used when

Giving advice/instructions

Presenting CTAs

Framing hypothetical scenarios (“If you run social/brand/content…”)

Style feels like a one-to-one conversation with a peer, not a broadcast to a faceless mass.

- Commands are generally direct but not aggressive

Voice consistency

Same voice across personal and business posts: same sentence rhythm, same level of directness, same preference for concrete details and anecdotes.

Personal posts have zero business jargon but the same clear, simple narrative structure.
