What if AI could do more than answer questions? What if it could help scale mentorship?
In this episode of the Training Impact Podcast, Jeff Walter sits down with Jared Shaw, Founder of Virtuoso, to explore a new approach to artificial intelligence in learning and development. Rather than focusing on content generation and automation, Virtuoso is using AI to create interactive, mentor-like learning experiences that adapt to individual learners while maintaining structured educational outcomes.
Jared shares his unique journey from professional drummer and content creator to EdTech entrepreneur, explaining how the limitations of traditional online learning inspired the creation of Virtuoso. The conversation explores the gap between consuming information and truly understanding it, highlighting the critical role mentorship plays in learning, skill development, and knowledge retention.
Jeff and Jared discuss how Virtuoso combines AI-powered interaction with curriculum-driven instruction, allowing learners to engage in meaningful dialogue, receive personalized guidance, and progress through structured learning pathways. They also explore the platform's innovative approach to personalization, which considers not only what learners know, but who they are, including their interests, experiences, and learning preferences.
The discussion extends into workforce development, technical skills training, onboarding, certifications, and the future of learning technology. Throughout the episode, Jared emphasizes that AI should not replace human expertise but should help organizations extend the reach and impact of coaches, instructors, trainers, and mentors.
Key topics include AI mentorship, personalized learning, adaptive instruction, workforce training, curriculum-driven AI, skill development, learning engagement, and the future of learning and development.
Whether you are an L&D leader, training manager, educator, instructional designer, or simply curious about the future of AI-powered learning, this episode offers valuable insights into how technology can make learning more personal, engaging, and effective.
