Education and professional development are undergoing a remarkable transformation, breaking free from the confines of traditional classrooms and textbooks. Instead, they're thriving at the intersection of community, events, and content.
But what does this mean for you as a learner? 
In this episode, we explore the future of learning and the path to success for learners like you. We cover the interdependent components of modern learning and we talk about a continuous cycle of learning, applying, reflecting, and sharing. 
We also discuss the importance of not only acquiring knowledge, but of applying it in practical ways and contributing to the greater body of knowledge.
