This episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience at You Are The Media’s Creator Day 2026. Huge thanks to FOUNDRY for hosting us - check out their coworking spaces in London and across the South coast (Eastbourne, Poole, Walthamstow, Hove, Wandsworth and Bromley) right here [https://www.foundryuk.com/]. I’m joined by a coupla LinkedIn legend Dave Harland and Lea Turner. Accidentally done two Lea episodes in a row because I’m a little behind in releasing recordings, but she’s worth it 😏 This is (somehow?!) the first episode with Dave despite him being mentioned in approx 87% of eps. We talked about all sorts including… how LinkedIn has changed since Lea and Dave first started out what seems to work now where the line is between sharing your personality without getting too personal whether LinkedIn premium is worth it how to navigate the feed tips for young people at the start of their career (spoiler: don’t use AI for your posts) the effectiveness (or lack of…) of company pages the best people we’ve connected with on LinkedIn how writing helps you find your voice the benefits of trying to be interested instead of interesting About my co-hosts Lea Turner is founder of The HoLT [http://the-holt.com], the community where freelancers, solopreneurs, and small business owners connect, share ideas, and grow together. Before starting The HoLT Lea spent four years training people how to use LinkedIn to grow their business, and she should know having amassed (at the time of recording) over 177,000 LinkedIn followers.
