In this episode I chat with Aïssa Henni about the development and recording process for making instructional videos, using sketchnoting as a tool to make those lessons more engaging. Though Aïssa’s approaching it from the entrepreneurial side of things, this one is very relevant for traditional educators making the move to distance learning right now. Hope you enjoy it!

In this episode I chat with Paul Joy, who is exploring a variety of sketchnoting opportunities in front of him. Paul represents someone who is past the intermediate stage of skill development, has started to take on paid sketchnoting gigs, but isn’t quite sure how to define himself or the work he’d like to do moving forward. This is a great conversation for anyone who’s looking to go pro or semi-pro with their sketchnoting skills.

In this conversation you’ll get to hear Chris Payne and I chat about how to use your sketchnoting skills to inspire action in others and help folks move down a path that takes them where they want to go. As much I as enjoy experiential learning and encouraging folks to take risks and learn from their mistakes, there is something to be said for listening to the advice of someone who’s already been down the roads you’re looking to travel. So in this episode we chat about the role that sketchnoting might play in that situation.
