John Espirian
John at heart is a technical copywriter working for himself having previously held roles at Sky and Fujistu, although we hope he wonโt mind us saying that we also consider him one of the most useful sources for Linkedin knowledge on the web. Specifically, John focuses on organic Linkedin, which is where our focus is in this session. John is also the recent author of โContent DNAโ which is available on Amazon right now.
Work aside, John is an interesting chap despite an unfortunate affection for Liverpool FC โ weโve still got my fingers crossed the season will be cancelled before they can be crowned champions. John is a Lord (technically), his first music purchase was โโInformerโ by Snowโ and John also voted 162 for Leona Lewis to win the X factor back in 2006, which weโre not sure is something to be proud of.
