Welcome to episode 134, this week there won’t be much to read in the notes because the whole episode is dedicated to an interview I recorded with fellow LinkedIn coach Bruce Johnston.

Please click on the above image to view Bruce’s full LinkedIn profile.

Bruce and I discuss his recent post ‘The LinkedIn Paradox: The Hunters And The Hunted’ which is all about how LinkedIn need to carefully walk a tightrope between growing their revenues (appealing to hunters) and growing/retaining enough active members (the prey)

Read The LinkedIn Paradox: The Hunters And The Hunted

I think this is a really important subject and getting it right will be critical to the future of LinkedIn.

Bruce and I cover a lot of ground in this episode and I hope you find it interesting and thought provoking.

What do you think about the paradox. Is this the most critical issue LinkedIn face?

That’s it for this week, I hope you found that useful.

Coming Next Week

It’s finally here! The day before publishing this episode I got the new LinkedIn design so next week I will dedicate the whole episode to explaining the changes. Here is a quick look at what to expect;

It’s beautifully designed and there are some interesting new features.

Unfortunately, it’s riddled with bugs at the moment and so far I have found 9 features that have been removed…including Advanced search!

Tune in next week to get the full picture.

If you get the new design, please get in touch and let me know what you think.

Don’t forget to leave a voicemail or email me with any questions or suggestions, till next time.

Have a great week.

Thank you so much for listening. I value your support and interest.
