If you're looking to learn more about talent development, the Learning Innovations Podcast is a great place to start. Podcast producer Mike Lenz teams up with field expert Doug Bushée to offer their insight on the topic.

Lenz, a professional voice talent, and Bushée, who has more than 25 years of experience in leading people and programs that improve global organizations' capabilities, discuss the latest in EdTech, innovations in talent development, and the corporate learning ecosystem in their generally monthly (although sometimes more frequently) 20- to 30-minute episodes. The duo often interviews L&D thought leaders but always provides insight into learning management systems, authoring tools, learning analytics, and more.

Of their recent episodes, one particularly worth listening to is "Speaking at Conferences." Lenz and Bushée discuss how learning professionals—and the community at large—should step out of their comfort zones. Becoming an outside speaker opens up far more doors for oneself than any other form of networking.
