Point Of The Story
Nicole's Personal Details and Walkout Song
Nicole reveals personal quirks—favorite phrase, collectibles, and her energizing walkout song for confidence.
When's the last time you logged into LinkedIn?
2016? 2017?
The year you stopped working at that soul-sucking job and started your business, only to never think about LinkedIn again?
Yeah, me too. And, after talking to today’s guest, I think we might've been missing out!
In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Marguerite Gray (yes, we say her full government name every time, and yes, there's a reason) to talk about why LinkedIn isn't just for corporate bros in suits anymore. Nicole's a digital reputation strategist who's been making people look trustworthy on the internet for years, and she's here to convince you that LinkedIn might actually be worth your time.
We're discussing spring cleaning your connections, turning your profile into a sales page, posting without the cringe factor, and why you don't technically need a website if your LinkedIn is fire enough. (Yes, she said that to my face. Yes, we made up about it.)
