“A lot of individuals on LinkedIn don't only have a LinkedIn, but they also have exposure on different media platforms, on different blogs, on different podcasts even, that you can go and listen to and just take a couple points and see what you could talk about with those individuals, Connect with them on a personal note.” - Hersh Rai
