For Immediate Release — Intrepid by VitalSource, the cohort-based learning platform to connect, practice, and upskill, today announced the launch of its new podcast, Being Intrepid: Navigating the Future of Learning.
Hosted by Intrepid Co-Founder Sam Herring, Being Intrepid explores the biggest challenges facing corporate learning teams today—and the bold ideas helping leaders solve them. In each episode, Herring sits down with enterprise learning leaders, consultants, and technologists to dive into the real-world decisions shaping the future of workforce development.
The debut episode, Learner Experience + Collaboration = Grant Thornton’s High-Impact Manager Development, features Amy Happ, Director of Leadership and Professional Development at Grant Thornton. Happ shares how her team built a manager development program that delivers measurable results—boosting utilization, managed revenue, and long-term impact. From demonstrating business impact to engaging senior leadership and building cross-functional learning networks, Happ outlines what it really takes to move the needle.
“The L&D leader must do more than ever before—demonstrate real business impact, scale personalized learning, and prepare their workforce for massive AI-driven change,” said Herring. “This podcast is a forum for the conversations we all need: real stories, smart strategies, and ideas that move the field forward.”
The podcast was born out of a growing tension many L&D leaders are facing: the need to scale and personalize learning, prove business value, and adapt to the rise of AI—all while staying human-centered. Herring describes the show as a space for problem-solving, not just inspiration.
Upcoming episodes of Being Intrepid will tackle themes like transforming enterprise learning, navigating tradeoffs between personalization and learning with others, designing high performance learning journeys, AI upskilling for the workforce, and how AI is reshaping the learning experience. The podcast is designed for learning and talent leaders who are ready to think bigger—and execute smarter.
Being Intrepid is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, with new episodes released regularly.
