In 2018, LinkedIn, the qualified network and also social networking sites platform, asked the previous Wired writer to generate a podcast as aspect of an audio method to reach out to members when they weren't on the website. Hempel mentions that her brand-new company had also pinpointed a label for the series: Hello Monday.
