Katie is one of the most chill people we've had on the shows. She doesn't take herself too seriously which ends up being the best recipe for anyone that decides to do anything public facing.

We spoke about LinkedIn Locals being a cult (just kidding ... maybe) and we learned a bit about why she quit her job to save the world.

Scientist, technologist, entrepreneur, and connector of people. Dr. Mike Morgan was one of the early adopters of video on LinkedIn and as a scientist normally does - he's been experimenting like crazy with it.

He's created "Humans of LinkedIn" - Motivational Thoughts by Dr. Mike Morgan (which we give him a little bit of a hard time for in this episode), and all sorts of other collaborative and entrepreneurial efforts as you'll find out in this episode.

We even kind of dive into the deep end of the thought, "In order to be authentic you have to actually know who you are"

Take a listen and let us know what you think!

As you'll hear from the very beginning of the episode, Greg and Shaun had an amazing time, a ton of laughs, and we were able to learn and strategize with the Kyles who are going through a similar process of growth with their audience and their message.

There's definitely more to come with these fellas!
