Bring a CEO
Every CEO who tells a story is asked for two names. Every regular can bring one. A story reaches about five times further as the CEO's own post than as a reshare, and the next CEO is almost always one introduction away. (Executive LinkedIn Report, 2026)
Three ways to bring one
-
Send them the one call they are about to make
Every story and field guide is public, so the link lands without a login. Pick the decision, not the home page: the thirteen kinds of call.
-
Introduce a CEO with a story
The form on this page. We write to them ourselves, mention your name only if you say so, and never add anyone to a list for being introduced.
-
Post your own
If you have told a call, you have a kit: a post in your voice, a card with your numbers, five slides and a badge. Post the original; we never ask for a reshare.
What bringing one gets you
Nothing is paid for a referral, and nobody jumps a queue. What you get is a reply, a name in the Ledger, and a seat.
-
One CEO introduced
We write to them within two working days, by hand, and tell you what happened. Nobody is added to a list for being introduced.
-
A CEO who tells a story
Your name sits beside their number in the Ledger as the person who brought them, for as long as the archive exists.
-
Three who tell a story
A seat at the first dinner in your city, whenever it happens, before the invitations go out.
The badge
For your site, your email signature or your LinkedIn banner. It says what is true: you are a regular at ceo.cafe. It is never sold and never required.
SVG and PNG files arrive with your share kit the day a story is published, or on request from [email protected].
A post you can use
I run a company. For the hardest calls (the layoff, the price change, the sale) the advice I could find was written by the lender, the buyer or the adviser. ceo.cafe is CEOs telling the true version, with the numbers, under their own names, free to read. If you run one too, the next number in the Ledger is No. 001, and it could be yours.
Put the link in the first comment, not the post. Original posts travel further than reshares.
