LinkedIn is one big large live networking event that doesn't end and the party just keeps on growing. Have a seat and listen in as people share their unique experiences using LinkedIn and have doors of opportunity open for them. I hope this podcast will leave you inspired to also start using LinkedIn to help you achieve all your personal and professional goals!
Employee advocacy isn’t just for flashy industries—it works everywhere. In this episode of The LinkedIn Lounge Podcast, Britta talks with Kim Dodge and Mike Pennington of Brin Glass Company about how empowering employees to share their authentic stories on LinkedIn builds stronger brands, deeper trust, and even personal growth. From Kim’s “corporate cheerleader” approach to Mike’s leap into posting for the first time, you’ll hear practical tips, real-world wins, and why employee voices often outperform corporate pages. If you’re curious how to start employee advocacy—or why it matters—this episode is your playbook.

Today, he helps executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes dissolve—not just solve—their toughest challenges by rewiring their beliefs, values, and self-narratives.
