Brian Schulman is the founder of Voice Your Vibe: part consulting firm for those looking to livestream on LinkedIn, part livestream itself. Dubbed the “godfather of LinkedIn video,” Brian was one of the first people to go live with video on LinkedIn. He actually took up previous guest Goldie Chan’s (episode 075) challenge to go live, and now he’s a top voice and top video creator on LinkedIn—not to mention one of Forbes’ featured entrepreneurs.
In this episode, Brian discusses LinkedIn’s advantages as a streaming platform, reveals his personal challenges growing up, and explains how LinkedIn users can network with each other in person.
