Comparatively speaking, Nate is a newcomer to LinkedIn. He first really started using the social network about 2-1/2 years ago. In that time he's amassed an eye-popping 20,000 followers.

How did he do it? What was his a-ha moment? How did approaching his employer with a bold idea change the way his company did business, change his role, and set his career off on a new trajectory?

We talk about all of that and more on this episode of Marketing:Unboxed.
