Once upon a time, a Tony Box appeared.

A musical story box. A treat for my ears.

It was screen-free and joyful and taught them new words.

There's hundreds of stories lots to be heard.

I picked one at bedtime that was leaked super fast.

Then I relaxed on the sofa.

This is Help Wanting.

The show tackles all the big work questions you cannot ask anyone else.

I'm Jason Feiffer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine.

And I'm New York Times' bestselling author and money expert, Nicole Lapin.

The Help Line is open.

The Internet is an amazing place because almost everybody is just a DM away.

And so if you're looking for a job or you're looking to connect with someone,

maybe a potential client who knows, you can send them a DM.

But what do you actually say and how can, in a very short amount of time,

you convince them to engage and to see value in you and who knows, maybe even higher you?

Well, today, to explore that, I'm going to talk to someone who sent me a DM very much like this,

very recently, on LinkedIn. His name is Ryan.

And Ryan, you're here with me now. Welcome to Help Wanted.

Thank you so much. Thank you for having me on the show.
