It’s something to put on your linkedinlunatics profile..

I have that with people on Linkedin who call themselves "entrepeneur".. I ask them, like what? are you a farmer now? Which ofcourse is a great insult and who do i think I am, and I should die blah blah blah.. 
"thought leader" is a couple of steps more pretentious.. I bet they pump their lips up with monkeycum..
