In this episode, I sit down with Michael Clark from Athletic Koala, a digital marketing expert who’s cracked the code on using LinkedIn for real business growth — especially in 2025. We dive into how to build a community on LinkedIn, use content to position yourself as a subject matter expert, and why giving away your best knowledge is the best marketing strategy you’ve got.
