Informed: the podcast for LinkedIn® users
John Espirian"Informed" is for you if you'd like to understand more about how LinkedIn works so that you can be an effective user of the platform. It's hard to know whom to believe with so many self-appointed gurus out there telling you the latest hacks for going viral and earning 7-figure deals. And even LinkedIn's own publications often don't speak to the reality of using the platform. But for those who see ... more

- Long-winded
Great podcast, but could - and should - be condensed into a more pithy 30 minutes. If you’re taking LinkedIn seriously, you’re too busy for waffle.

United Kingdom10 months ago - Independent & extremely valuable
I’ve only been listening to Mark’s podcast for the last 18 months since writing daily on LinkedIn. I initially looked around for LinkedIn-specific podcasts and found none which were like this one.
Being a Brit there’s a certain amount of familiarity in language and culture, but Mark speaks to a truly international audience and he is always 100% true to himself.
He is critical and objective when looking at the platform he built his business on – for the right reasons… not for the sake of contro... more
Apple Podcasts5shallowandUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Never miss a week
I’ve been listening to Mark’s podcast for years. I love it! Each week the insights are interesting and I love Mark’s sense of humour, which keeps it light and entertaining. I’ve learnt loads about how to use LinkedIn and I especially like the fact that his advice is professionally sound. He’s not in the camp that tells you to post at least four times a day. That’s just not sustainable and appropriate in my book. If you’re a business owner, I highly recommend making listening to this podcast a we... more
Apple Podcasts5Nicola J MacdonaldUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Mark’s show packs a punch
Highly informative and entertaining, Mark’s podcast is worth listening to if you want to stay up to date on LinkedIn and get insights into the latest hot topics on the platform. The show is accompanied by an excellent LinkedIn newsletter too. Mark clearly has a very good rapport with his audience and isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
Apple Podcasts5Ella Much More SocialUnited Kingdom2 years ago - My ‘Must Not Miss’ Podcast!
I have been listening to Mark’s podcast since the early days of being a LinkedIn trainer myself. His podcast is the one I listen to without fail on every occasion. His honesty is refreshing, his insights are invaluable and to boot, he is an all round top bloke!
If you are looking to keep up with all things LinkedIn related, you would be wise to invest an hour each week to listen and learn, and enjoy it too!
Deservedly called ‘Mr LinkedIn’.
