In this episode of **Abroad Experience**, Anthony Muiruri talks with **Daniel Alfon**, a LinkedIn expert and entrepreneur from France, currently based in Israel, about life abroad, travel, networking and—most importantly—how to use LinkedIn strategically to create real opportunities.

We discuss:
🔹 How Daniel went from being born in France to making Israel his home
🔹 What life in Israel is really like beyond what you see on television
🔹 Why Israel and Greece have such fascinating historical and cultural connections
🔹 How to make your LinkedIn profile attract the right people
🔹 Why you should identify your “ideal reader” before building your LinkedIn presence
🔹 The difference between being **well connected** and **best connected**
🔹 Why your LinkedIn connections can become your biggest source of opportunities
🔹 How to use mutual connections to get introductions instead of sending cold messages
🔹 Why sometimes the best LinkedIn strategy is to **leave LinkedIn** and build relationships in real life
🔹 How to make your profile answer the questions potential clients, employers and collaborators are asking
🔹 Why your LinkedIn profile should evolve as your career and business evolve
🔹 Why networking may be even more important in the age of AI
🔹 How your network can give you opportunities that AI cannot
🔹 Daniel's experiences travelling around the world and the places he hopes to visit next
