Many people didn't look at LinkedIn as a place to monetize.

What was it about the network that had you embraced it so early on?

This is a unique intro in that we actually have the protagonist of the story with us today.

Thanks for joining us, Hala.

Excited for this one.

It's rare that we actually get the opening hero of our story, protagonist, to join us for the conversation.

So this is gonna be a fun one.

I just want to say, of course, the story ends where the entire radio industry just collapses.

And the industry you choose, podcasting, just takes it over.

So some crazy karma there for them.

And by the way, that story you mentioned about you having to educate or train the new hire

Sounds familiar.

That's a classic class store post.

We probably had 10 versions of that by professionals hosting cross-colleges about exactly that.

So not a unique phenomenon at all.

Apparently, it happens a lot across different industries.

The monster energy drink thread.

I love this thread.

And conformity, right?

Because they always say in radio, you got to put in the time.
