Impactful Realities with Jason Jerald

EPISODE 10 - JEREMY KENISKY


Listen Later

In this episode, Jeremy Kenisky shares a grounded, operator-level view of XR—far beyond demos and hype. From shipping millions of AR devices to building VR training systems for oil & gas, defense, and education, this conversation traces what actually works when immersive tech meets real-world constraints.


This is not a surface-level discussion. It’s a breakdown of how XR moves from novelty to infrastructure—where mistakes cost millions, and training can directly impact safety, performance, and workforce readiness.


Jeremy unpacks:


– Why experiential learning consistently outperforms traditional training—and where it actually matters

– The shift from consumer AR/VR to enterprise-scale workforce systems

– How XR is solving critical labor shortages in high-stakes industries like energy

– The hidden bottlenecks in building training systems (SMEs, standardization, scalability)

– Why “sandbox” environments sometimes outperform rigid step-by-step simulations

– The real role AI will play in training—from assistants to autonomous instructors

– What most XR builders still misunderstand about value creation


The conversation also explores a deeper layer: the growing workforce crisis in essential industries—and why immersive training may be one of the few scalable solutions.


This episode is for builders, operators, and decision-makers who care about outcomes—not prototypes.
