1. Should you leave higher education for another sector to feel more fulfilled? 
2. What other roles exist in L&D besides instructional design?
3. How do you guide your confused subject matter experts?

The best part of producing content has been to connect with you, learning nerd nation. And many of you write to me on LinkedIn or email about some fantastic instructional design related questions. They are so fantastic, that I want other learning nerds to hear them so I thought it would make more sense to create an entire episode based around some of these questions. If you like the format of this feedback episode, let me know!
