Lila Smith aka the Queen of Networking.

Lila Smith is the Director of Communications and E-Commerce at DNA Footwear.

But she's also:

- LinkedIn Influencer

- Super nice person

- LinkedIn Local Co-Host in NYC

- Master Networker

- My Favourite person on LinkedIn.

One time Lila told me that her brother got her a reminder once, that said: "You can't make everyone happy, you're not a Taco".

Lila isn't a Taco. But damn it I've never met anyone who comes as close as her.

Her Taco style pays off too, her LinkedIn videos always get thousands of engagements (Likes+ comments+shares).

There aren't many people who can boast of numbers like that.

She's one of those rare people who became an influencer by the sheer power of niceness and networking.

(But let's not forget she's extremely clever and hardworking too).

My whole #TMFLinkedInsChallenge was about me trying to get people to be more Lila.

I believe Lila's whole way of being should be seen as a prime example of how to treat each other on the internet.

She makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside. But she won't hesitate to come up for herself or her friends.

I really hope to meet Lila in real life one day.

Here's what we'll talk about:

- How to Network

- How to master LinkedIn like a human

- Business Culture

- LinkedIn Local.

- Taco Style Kung-Fu

It's truly an honour to have her on the show.

Much Love,
