LinkedIn UK personal branding influencer speaks out on Uber driver post trolls

"I didn't wanna open this. But I have a look at it. It's actually got like seven or 800 reactions. I'm like, okay, this isn't good. And then... where do I know him from? I click onto his profile. His tagline obviously mentions what he does. I'm like, oh my God. I actually know this guy. Like I've met this guy in person!...." We've rolled out a really spicy one for episode five.
