Most technical training programs fail before the first technician ever sets foot in the room. Not because the content is wrong. Because the entire design is wrong.

Traditional training asks: did they understand it? Technical training asks something harder: can they actually do it? And in aerospace, where it takes a million things to go right and one thing to go wrong.

In this first ever live episode of the Leadership Launchpad, Matt sits down with Roy Samson, a technical training veteran from the aerospace industry. Together they break down what it actually takes to build a training program for a technical team.

What you'll learn:

• Why "passing the course" isn't the same as being ready — and how to handle the gap
• How to decide how much theory a technician actually needs (and when to skip it entirely)
• What "building an OS for quality" means and why it matters more than any curriculum
• How to build credibility with subject matter experts when you don't have a technical background
• Why training will happen in your org whether you plan it or not — and why that should scare you

For engineering managers, technical leads, and L&D professionals trying to build real capability in hard tech environments.
