(Apologies all, as there was some degraded audio on my end during this episode. I'll be investigating, perhaps swapping out some equipment, and hope to have this sorted by the time I record next month's episode!)

In this episode, I'm joined by Al Bellamy who tells us about his journey from Marine Corps logistician to his current role as a Senior Marketing Intelligence Analyst! During his military transition, Al became exceptionally proficient with networking and personal branding on LinkedIn. In this episode, Al shares some of the secret sauce and introduces the #LinkedInHardMode Challenge!
