Summary:

My guest this week is content guru Kirk Werner who is the VP of content at Udacity. Kirk played a major role as Lynda.com revolutionized online learning and continues to push the envelope at Udacity helping learners build future-focused skills.

If you are at all interested in where the future of learning is going, this is the podcast for you. Kirk is so knowledgeable when it comes to learning trends, and has some fantastic insights on how and why we learn.

We discuss

- the evolution of content and its increasing importance as part of a successful learning experience
- The future workplace and its emphasis on lifelong learning
- The importance of learning something new every day and becoming adaptable in the face of change

I could have talked to Kirk all day long – he knows his stuff, knows the industry inside out, and has a prescient ability to identify what’s coming next.

I hope you enjoy the conversation!
