On this episode, Gen Xers Jay and Tom sit down and chat with Matt Margolis, also known as #MattTheMillennialLawyer LinkedIn. Matt posts some of our favorite content—hilarious memes, TikTok, and Piñata Farms videos—on LinkedIn, and he shares the tricks of his trade that have helped him build his personal brand and his legal practice on the platform.
The discussion covers:
Matt’s take on the old trope that all an associate lawyer has to do to advance is “keep their head down and do good work”
How Matt comes up with ideas for content
Why you shouldn’t be afraid to be yourself on LinkedIn
Whether to niche or not
The benefits of being a thought leader on LinkedIn
