In this episode, John Thompson, co-founder of Saga Wisdom, joins hosts Erin Fair and Ryan Rice for a sharp, story-driven dive into the future of technical education in the energy sector. 

What started as an idea scribbled down in a bar has grown into a digital learning platform that blends Netflix-style access with Masterclass-level expertise. John unpacks the entrepreneurial leap from reservoir engineer to platform builder, and the growing need for education that actually meets today’s workforce where they are—digitally, flexibly, and intelligently. 

They tackle the friction of adapting to new learning styles, the push to make technical content binge-worthy, and the rise of AI in transforming how professionals are trained. And of course, they touch on Saga’s signature conference—equal parts tech bootcamp and Viking-themed bash. 

This is about more than education. It’s about evolution.
