This week, David Wright is joined by Farnaz Ronaghi, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at NovoEd, to discuss how AI transforms employee learning, the shift in enterprise SaaS and the key leadership lessons she has learned while scaling a company. They explore the role of curiosity in leadership, the challenges of growing a team and how enterprises are rethinking their approach to learning and development.

(03:16) Prototyping ideas is easier than ever with AI.

(05:17) Finding the right career path takes exploration, persistence and support from mentors and colleagues.

(10:18) Every conversation, even difficult ones, can become a learning opportunity.

(14:55) Leadership is about creating space for others to own their decisions.

(17:03) Agility means knowing when to slow down and when to move fast.

(21:42) Traditional SaaS isn’t enough — enterprise tools must integrate seamlessly.

(27:43) AI will change employee learning by embedding training into workflows.

(34:02) Failure is the best way to grow — learn fast and move forward.
