Starting point is 00:00:23 and Hoffman, the brains behind LinkedIn. That guy is a genius. behind LinkedIn because you can't send a you can't click on an email that has LinkedIn written in it without getting another 18 million emails finally you just give in okay okay okay I'll be part of LinkedIn just stop sending me emails you if someone says sends you an email that has LinkedIn anywhere in the verbiage man do not open that thing if you open it doomed doomed doomed you will be receiving LinkedIn requests from people who have seen your name on LinkedIn from people who want your name on LinkedIn
