A conversation with Justin Welsh about building a business on LinkedIn

This week, I want to share with you a must-watch (or listen) interview with Justin Welsh.
Over the last 12 months or so, Justin is one of the most inspiring creators that I've seen. And if you spend any time on LinkedIn or Twitter, I'd wager to bet you've noticed him too.
Not only does Justin have 250,000 followers here on LinkedIn, but in a matter of months, he was able to parlay that audience into 150,000 followers on Twitter and more than 35,000 email subscribers.
These are INSANE numbers.
And the reason, as Sahil Bloom told me this week, is that Justin is a tactician.
The guy is just incredible at building systems, processes, and following the data.
He's also an admitted workaholic, which we talk about late in this interview.
If you watch or listen to this interview, you probably won't even need your morning caffeine – Justin just compels you to want to run through a brick wall. ??

2 年I agree! This is a must watch and has me realizing how important it is for me to stay consistent with my newsletter. I just connected with Justin and told him how he could have monetized the conversation with you! I suppose you still can. Offer it as a great way to learn how to grow your audience on LinkedIn or whatever platform you choose. I appreciate hearing about the experiences. And being very clear about how important it is to reveal in my writing how I think at a deeper level. So much valuable information here for me. Thank you seems hardly enough! You two truly have inspired me today! I needed your share here to cheer me on. Being a business owner has its challenges. And I laughed out loud when Justin Welsh talked about how he tried to figure out way too many platforms. I can relate! What goes on behind the scenes in a business can be time consuming and quite a ride testing it all out. So thanks for helping me simplify and be more focused on what to concentrate. Appreciate you two so much!
