Rob and Big Matt chat with special guest, JR Hickey to discuss his hilarious @bestoflinkedin project which has blown up on twitter and was recently featured in the New York Times. JR shares the one infuriating post that drove him to create this LinkedIn parody account and covers one especially firey run in with a "LinkedInfluencer" who didn't exactly appreciate being "featured" on the page. Plus, we discuss how LinkedIn can improve to make the platform less filled with crap and more valuable to its users. Finally, JR joins the third and final installment of our BS Linkedin Series as we cover off the ridiculous tactics that LinkedInfluencers us to get attention.

JR's Entourage Podcast: "Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah"
An important message: This is the TNSP's first episode back after the horrific murder of George Floyd and the ensuing calls for police reform. After careful consideration on how to best use the platform to support the cause for reform we concluded the best thing to do was to promote resources made available by the leaders of the various movements to reduce police violence. The resources below contain a wealth of information covering how to get educated and join the fight for justice.
