Every Tuesday we will be launching a brand new episode. (Can we call it Tech Tuesday?) We've got a lot of episodes ready for you and quite a number of people we haven't yet talked to, but are in our production queue. We promise that we're going to deliver a lot of great conversations that will help you advance your tech career, build your business and stay afloat in the gig economy.

We're on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and many more. -- https://anchor.fm/techafterfive In this episode: We've got a tight episode on how to respond when a friend, coworker, or random person asks you for a LinkedIn endorsement or five star google review.  Even when you know them well, this can be a hard thing to get right. (But there are tricks -- and we share them.) Also, it can be harder when you want to help, but you don't know them well. What do you do then? Lastly, what do you do when someone asks, but you just can't bring yourself to make the endorsement? We've got some advice for that sticky situation, too.  Your hosts: Phil Yanov is the Founder and Lead Community Organizer of Tech After Five.
