Josh 00:00:00  So, Seth, I've learned a lot from you on my own LinkedIn, and I've seen my own LinkedIn grow. And it started with our meeting at the conference. Right. So what could people do to optimize their LinkedIn? What are some advice that you could give them?

Seth 00:00:14  first of all, thank you for the kind words. Your LinkedIn profile and content is awesome. in general, like that's one of the things that we do at Share Media where we work with executives. it's not rocket science. It's just a matter of breaking it up into different categories. For starters, make sure you have a dynamic banner. You know, Josh, you would appreciate this and how much money and time, blood, sweat and tears go into becoming a publicly traded company. And then and then that last part of a dynamic banner that has a message of where you're traded, what your symbol is, what your company does. They don't bother. They they leave that last piece off. So I highly suggest that include the ticker symbol.

Seth 00:00:55  so people know that you're publicly traded and then just provide content, a couple times a week and make sure that you or your team are connecting you to an audience that you want to engage with. Right? You can have the most amazing content out there, but it's falling on, you know, the pizza guy in Idaho? Nothing against the pizza in Idaho, but if it's falling on the wrong audience, then then it's all off or not. So just making sure that you have everything telling the story, as loud as you can through through your LinkedIn profile.
