Nothing against Steven, but I really question the value of questions that get re-opened over and over again. Go look at the question - it started 5 months ago. How many answers would those named above have generated - had they re-open their questions constantly? Thought provoking? Hm, if it takes 5 months to create that amount of answers...

Thought provoking?

While I am not a LION, I have not fully decided against ever becoming one. Your show has been very valuable in my understanding of how LinkedIn plays a role in my life. At this point, I am trying to focus a bit more on the quality aspect than the quality. That said, I guess I have connected to a few LIONs that I have never met personally, inclusing Steven. After hearing his interview with you I am actually encouraged to reach out to him. In fact, I will drop him a line as soon as I wrap up this comment. I really like his approach and his outlook on the ever changing landscape of what we define as "employment". Keep them coming Stan! Thanks again. Michael Stan,
