My Main TakeawaysHere again, we hear how Karen has a clear idea of WHO she is talking to and trying to reach.
LinkedIn is not magic, but it helps you build relationships. Relationships can be magic
Don't just contact people and connect to make your numbers grow. You should have a plan. Start a conversation.
Do your homework and know who you are contacting so that first impression is a little warmer.

We Are Podcast Online Event Question of the MonthI'm becoming obsessed with focus groups thanks to watching the TV Show The Profit on CNBC. I see people who are starting to market their show (or wonder why it may not be growing as fast as they want) and it always appears there has been a lack of honest feedback from people you feed would enjoy your show (your target audience). For May the question is again somewhat open-ended. The topic? Focus groups. Did you assemble any feedback? Would you be interested in getting feedback on your show? If you were to start one, do you have any ideas or insights?
