He is the Editor in Chief at LinkedIn News, based out of LinkedIn’s NYC offices in the Empire State Building. He has previously worked as writer and editor at Fortune, Wired, Forbes and Conde Nast (home of publications like Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Vanity Fair).
So, how did Daniel Roth go from growing up in Kentucky to living and working in the Big Apple and traveling the world? Let’s learn from his journalism career, I’m sure there are a tonne of lessons for all of us.
This is a conversation replete with career lessons we can all learn. Dan shares the following:
- What influenced him very early in his life to pursue journalism as a career
- How Dan got hired for his first job by an Indian editor in North Carolina over 25 years ago and the Hindi phrase he still remembers till today
- How he got hired for competitive roles at Forbes, and other top publications and what helped him to stand out.
- The detailed backstory of how a meeting with Jeff Weiner resulted in getting hired for a newly created role of Executive Editor at LinkedIn in 2011. There are at least 5 lessons from this experience alone, with lots of unexpected twists and turns!
- Dan interviews a lot of famous people on LinkedIn News like Bobbi Brown, Robert Downey Jr, Bill Gates, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Richard Banson, Gwenneth Paltrow etc. Dan shares research and prep process, because there are definitely some commonalities with preparing for a major job interview.
- As Editor in Chief, Dan’s message to the listener who’s shied away from expressing their voice on Linkedin so far
This is easily one of my top 5 favourite conversations of all time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
