Connection Requested

Connection Requested

"Who are these people sending me connection requests on LinkedIn?” That's the thought that started this podcast. Closely followed by... "Who are the people I have already connected with?" Join me as I find out who they all are through the stories they tell, not by their bio or job descriptions.

There’s been silence again from Connection Requested. This time it’s because Lynn and I were working on another podcast that we’ve just launched, called My Index To Sex. It’s fun and distracting which can be quite refreshing right now. You can listen to other episodes and find out more at mitspodcast.com or start by listening here.

So I haven’t…

* Haven’t published any podcasts here.

* Haven’t published any ‘written work’ here.

I say ‘written work’ cos I’m not really sure what to call this. A blog? A newsletter?

What if it didn’t matter?

What if I just write when I want to write?

What if I podcast when I want to podcast?

What if this ‘Connection Requested’ thing changed?

Connection Requested started when I was inspired by the weirdness I observed with LinkedIn connec...

This is our 13th episode, so I decided to do things a little differently. This week instead of meeting someone I’ve just met on Linkedin,  we meet a friend I’ve known for over a decade. Jeremy Ratchford is a well-known actor that used to be a neighbor of mine. Is LinkedIn useful for actors? Probably not! But you can connect with him on LinkedIn, especially so if you need a speaker or host for an event. https://www.linkedin.com/in/j...
