Daniel, how’s it going, mate?   Daniel Disney: It is going very well, Will. As I’m sure you can tell, I have a new background behind me, which is very exciting. After a few days of a lot of building, I am now pretty much settled into my new home office working space. So quite excited to be recording today in a slightly different setting.   Will Barron: Let me ask you this. Have you changed your lighting and other things? Because maybe you’re close to the camera as well, but this seems like… Just anyone who’s doing video calls at the moment, to get some feedback on your setup, what have you done differently other than just the background, because you do look better and cleaner and more smart in the new studio?   Daniel Disney: Yeah. The reality is it’s not too much different. I’m positioned so over here is a window, so I’ve got good natural light coming in, which makes a difference. I don’t have any artificial lights, even though I’ve got three USB lights set up for when I work in the evenings, during the day, the natural lighting is really, really good. So that would be my only advice to people doing this. If you can find a spot near a window, it does help. But if not, it’s not difficult to get USB lights off of Amazon that pretty much do just as good.   Will Barron: Yeah. I’m going to… because I’ve just got rid of all my lights. This is great content for anyone who’s listening on audio. There we go. I’ve got a whole bunch of these lights as well. They’re like 15 quid and they’re may be another five, 10 quid for the stand. But if you’re not near a window, if you’re in a boxed-off room with no windows, I feel bad for you if you’re working from home in that environment, one. But then two, that is your solution.   The Latest LinkedIn Updates and Features · [01:42]    Will Barron: Okay. Today’s show, Daniel, somewhat timely. We’re going to talk about the LinkedIn’s latest features and updates. This is totally in your hands. I’m going to just throw it right to you because I have no idea what’s going on, on the LinkedIn platform right this second, because as we were discussing before we clicked record, we’ve got a big webinar coming up today, so I’ve just been head down, preparing that. So Daniel, what are the latest LinkedIn feature and updates, and then I’ll quiz you on them the best I can?   Daniel Disney: Yeah. I’m sure you’ll quiz me very well, Will. There are a few new features that I have to admit, this is the LinkedIn nerd in me getting very excited that have come out. I’ll start with the one that’s probably the least exciting and hasn’t had the best reception.   Will Barron: Sure.   Introducing LinkedIn’s Creator Mode? · [02:20]    Daniel Disney: But we’ll build up because the other two have been fantastic. So the first feature that came out, and we may have teased this,
