ICYMI: This Month's Top Social Media Posts
In case your algorithm didn't serve up these gems (we see you, mysterious feed gods), here's your monthly roundup of INBOUND content that got our community double-tapping, sharing, and sparking conversations. Check out what made waves this month!
DECEMBER 2024
EAT THE FROG
At #INBOUND24, Jay Schwedelson didn’t sugarcoat it: tackling our most dreaded task first sets the right tone for the day. Sometimes the best advice isn't what we want to hear, but what we need to (even if we're rolling our eyes while taking notes 🐸).
💡 Why It Resonated: In a world of productivity hacks, we know that sometimes the best strategy is just doing the annoying thing first. Looks like frogs are on the menu this year!
STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING (AGAIN)
The mysterious East Coast drones made their way to San Francisco this month to share an urgent message with our community: don’t wait to secure your #INBOUND25 tickets!
💡 Why It Resonated: When viral, unexplained phenomena align with key INBOUND moments, our community knows better than to ignore the signs from above. Consider this your ground-level intel: Tier 2 VIP tickets are already taking flight. Don't wait for more aerial warnings—secure your #INBOUND25 VIP access before they’re gone.
INBOUND BESTIE GIFT GUIDE
Who knew #INBOUND24 networking would lead to holiday shopping list anxiety? Your INBOUND connections have evolved into gift-worthy friendships, and we're here for it.
💡 Why It Resonated: From LinkedIn to IRL, when our biggest networking problem is too many genuine INBOUND connections, we know we’re doing something right.
2024 WRAPPED: INBOUND EDITION
#INBOUND24 Wrapped highlighted our community’s top-rated sessions this year and had everyone comparing their lists in the comments. These speakers gave the people what they wanted!
💡 Why It Resonated: This post had us reminiscing on #INBOUND24 and even more excited to bring the community back together in San Francisco in 2025!
HOLDING SPACE FOR: OURSELVES
Dr. V Boykin challenged everything we thought we knew about productivity at #INBOUND24. The secret to success isn't working harder, it's working smarter by taking things off your plate that don’t belong. (BRB, adding this to our 2025 vision board.)
💡 Why It Resonated: Sometimes we need a reminder that peak performance isn't about doing it all. Rather, it's about doing what matters, with the right support to make it happen.

NOVEMBER 2024
BUZZWORD HOT TAKES
When we asked what business buzzwords need to go in 2025, our #INBOUND24 attendees came through with the hot takes! This video sparked some strong opinions about how we use our words (and yes, we're taking notes on which to retire 😉).
💡 Why It Resonated: We're all tired of corporate speak that says nothing, and our community's passion for genuine, human communication showed up strong.
@inbound Looking for ways to create authentic, strategic content around AI in 2025? So were our #INBOUND24 attendees... but maybe just not in those words. What buzzword would you eliminate in 2025? Please circle back by EOD. #INBOUND24 #INBOUNDHotTakes @Troy Sandidge ♬ original sound - INBOUND
KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT STRESS
Most people say to avoid stress. Will Ahmed (CEO, WHOOP)? Not so much. His POV on embracing challenges to build resilience and recovery capacity got everyone reacting.
💡 Why It Resonated: Ahmed showed us it’s not about enduring more stress, but rather figuring out how to manage and build better systems for handling it.
SF COUNTDOWN MODE: ACTIVATED
T-minus 10 months until we reunite in San Francisco! The photos of us reminiscing about #INBOUND24 besties had everyone thinking ahead to 2025’s west coast takeover.
💡 Why It Resonated: INBOUND isn't just an event, it’s where core memories and lasting connections are made.
GRATITUDE CHECK-IN
Our heartfelt shoutout to the INBOUND community—from attendees and speakers to sponsors and staff—became one of our most engaged November posts. (No surprise there – this community is EVERYTHING!)
💡 Why It Resonated: When we say we love our community, we mean it! This post captured the essence of what makes INBOUND special: passionate people coming together to learn, grow, and inspire each other.

CHALLENGING THE IMPOSSIBLE
The post that made everyone stop scrolling? Serena Williams dropping truth bombs about VC funding:
"Less than 2% of women were getting VC money? I thought it was a mistake."
Her shock turned into action, leading to her championing diversity in investing through Serena Ventures.
💡 Why It Resonated: Sometimes it takes an "aha" moment to spark real change. Serena's candor and action-oriented response hit home.Enter some text...INBOUND25 FOMO ALREADY?
