What does it really take to grow from a good individual contributor to a great one? In this special edition of The Learning Culture Podcast, Andrew Barry sits down with leaders for short, sharp conversations about the mindset shifts, hard-won lessons, and small moves that separate ICs who plateau from those who keep climbing. ICs matter more than ever as AI reshapes how work gets done, and these episodes are built for anyone navigating that path or helping others walk it.

 In this conversation, Amy reflects on what gave her the confidence to trust her own ideas early in her career, the role preparation and relationships played in helping her work carry weight, and why she believes ICs often miss the bigger picture of the business they're inside of. 

 If you're an IC looking to grow, or a leader responsible for developing them, this episode is for you.
