Ep. 21 - Being Professional AND Interesting on LinkedIn w/ Christine Uri and Shaun Sethna

On this week's episode, Tony [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-albrecht/] sits down with Christine Uri [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineuri/] and Shaun Sethna [https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaunsethna/], two attorneys who produce engaging content on LinkedIn for their robust and supportive networks. As someone who tends to lean into personal content hard, Tony appreciates picking the brains of pros who gracefully walk the fine line between professional content and things that some might characterize as more fit for Facebook.  This episode gets into the guests' attitudes toward the platform and content creation, how they think about being on social media as members of a profession that generally doesn't engage much, and their tips for people considering getting more active on LinkedIn.  ---------------- Speaking of lawyers, we've launched The Linked Lawyer Community as of this week. It's for lawyers who would like to build a presence on LinkedIn and consists of a private LinkedIn group, access to coaching from Tony, and bi-weekly Zoom sessions on topics related to content creation and branding. This week only, we're offering a free 10-day trial with this link [https://contender.podia.com/].  You can also learn more at www.contenderllc.com.

Ep. 20 - How To Land That Next Role via LinkedIn w/ Brianna Doe and Julie Raeder

This week's conversation dives into a topic that's often painful—job hunting. How to think differently about landing that next role (and get better results with less aggravation) is a topic Brianna Doe [https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianna-doe/] and Julie Raeder [https://www.linkedin.com/in/julieraeder/] know a bit about. Brianna is a marketing pro and entrepreneur who founded The Career Lab [https://www.thecareerlab.co/] and Soul Food Studio. Through The Career Lab, Brianna is supporting early- to mid-career professionals to build the career they want through a job board, resources, and coaching. Julie is a Customer Success Coach with Dooly, one of the strongest brands on LinkedIn, and she joined the company after using a relatively unique approach to LinkedIn to help transition from education to tech.  In this episode, we unpack their respective approaches to the job search and how they've leveraged content on LinkedIn to build their brands, land roles, and support others in doing the same.  This week, we also have a Hustle Corner segment featuring Dennis Geelen [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-geelen/] and The Author's Playbook [https://gumroad.com/a/2273491/qerlk]. Dennis is a consultant, solopreneur, and author of four books. Most recently, Dennis published The Accidental Solopreneur [https://www.theaccidentalsolopreneur.com/], which I higher recommend.  It came out right around the time I released In The Creative Arena, [https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Arena-Creativity-Building-Future/dp/1735605824?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER] and Dennis and I had the pleasure of doing an event together talking about our books. In this Hustle Corner, we get into how The Author's Playbook could help you finally turn that book idea into an actual book.
