It's the crossover event of the season! Well, maybe.

Jay Harrington from The Thought Leadership Project joined Curtis Hays on the Bullhorns and Bullseyes podcast recently. And I'm caught in the middle making sure nobody's candy bar drops into anyone's peanut butter!

Jay and Curtis each have unique and valuable insights to share, presenting what I think is the perfect world for LinkedIn mastery: organic reach and targeted advertising.
