ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The L&D field has spent a decade on skills — frameworks, taxonomies, skills-based organizations. But as AI commoditizes skill execution, what actually develops a leader?
Brian Miller, founder of Win With Talent and former head of talent at Levi Strauss, Adobe, Impossible Foods, and Gilead, argues the answer is experience: the judgment, discernment, and believability built through high-stakes situations that no model update can replicate.
In this episode:
- Why skills are what you can do — but not what you’ve navigated or who you've become
- How experience architecture works: sequencing experiences to build capability velocity
- The CFO question that reorients L&D investment from programs to prioritized roles
- Why the magic in simulation is in the debrief — not the exercise itself
- The succession frame that changes everything: "Who's been tested enough?"
Guest: Brian Miller, Founder, Win With Talent
