Very interesting pod-cast. Especially enjoyed the comment “wild wild west” regarding the entertainment industry. Dylan’s view points regarding LinkedIn and how he is harnessing technology to enable his business is a great example. Thank goodness for Hollywood — they provide a number of us with hours of entertainment. Thanks again!

Good insight into an industry that we hardly think of, even though we are all consumers.
Please keep us posted on other podcasts, particualrly those about industries we don’t usually think of.

Hi Stan and Dylan:
Dylan, you exude enthusiasm and passion for your entertainment business. Your interview was chock-full of tips and info on leveraging LI for entertainment value. Good examples of LI collaboration for coming up with plots for reality TV programs. You broke a stereotype, younger professionals do not necessarily favor Facebook over Linked In for building business relationships.
Again, Stan through his interview with you, shows the business value of LI regardless of the industry or demographics. As you commented, it is about establishing the business connection and relationship–then you can go to other industry-focused sites. Thanks for sharing those links–even for those of us outside of entertainment.
Best of luck with your new business venture and web site, FlashCity.com…..everyone loves gossip, right!
