Today I am talking to Russel Sweep, Content Development Manager for Goodwill Industries International. Russell made the move from higher education into corporate instructional design and has had to work with teams on merging learning theory with the practical realities of instructional design. That merger is always a big topic in our industry which is why I wanted to have him on today.

Today I am talking to Sean Adams, the Head of Sales and Partnership at Iorad. As I have been focusing on growing my business, I have had to learn a lot about sales.

Today I am talking to Ashley Chang, Learning Operations Manager at Pinterest. I knew Ashley when she was the Learning & Technology Manager at Virgin Orbit, a role she took on after being a Stress Engineer at Boeing. Not sure what a Stress Engineer is?

Today, she is going to share some of the engineering lessons she was able to apply to the L&D world and hopefully help make it a little easier for you to work with your technical subject matter experts.
