In the military they always give the hardest and most complicated tasks to the laziest recruits, because they inevitably find the simplest solution to the problem. I haven't done much on linkedin, and methinks it is actually time to start. Thank you so much for the prompt, Neil. I'm really enjoying your blog! The title of this post immediately caught my eye.
