189. Work in Progress: Growing a LinkedIn Personal Brand & Newsletter On Top of a Well-Balanced Life (Nicholas Braman)

How does a corporate professional leverage LinkedIn and a newsletter to set themselves up for more career opportunities?

That is what Nicholas Braman explores with us on episode 189 of The Thought  Leader Club Podcast as part of the “Work in Progress” series.

Topics we touch on include:

• What it looks like to build a presence on LinkedIn and write a weekly LinkedIn newsletter for reasons NOT related to growing a business 

• Building thought leadership on LinkedIn 

• Being consistent on LinkedIn while maintaining a well-balanced life outside of work

About Nicholas:

I'm Nicholas Braman, a Korean-American who grew up in Seattle and has lived in Asia for a total of almost 15 years. With over 8 years of experience in the B2B tech space, I currently serve as the Marketing Director for APAC and Japan at Kyriba. My role revolves around driving demand and revenue growth across the region, building innovative campaigns, and working hand-in-hand with our sales team. I’m passionate about using data to optimize our marketing strategies and outcomes and am always looking for new ways to push the boundaries in marketing.

Outside of work, I try to spend as much time with my wife and two-year-old daughter as possible. I’m a devoted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, which I enjoy for the great exercise, social community, and intense challenges of “human chess”. When I’m not on the mats, I’m often in the kitchenexperimenting with different cuisines, out traveling or hiking, or spending time at home reading and writing.
