In this special episode, Assemble You Co-Founders Adam Lacey and Richard Ward step out from behind the interview chair for a raw, founder-to-founder conversation - sharing the practical lessons from building Assemble You that L&D leaders can apply immediately to increase adoption, influence stakeholders and drive behavioural change.
Instead of theory or frameworks, this episode is built from real experience: testing ideas fast, getting buy-in, marketing learning internally, and building the conditions where development actually sticks.
Adam and Rich explore what happens when L&D is run with a startup mindset - agile, learner-led, problem-focused and impact-driven. They break down the lessons, mistakes and mindset shifts that helped Assemble You scale audio-based learning into hundreds of organisations, and how the same thinking can help you accelerate progress with limited resource.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to validate learning needs like a product team
- Why managers - not content - often determine adoption
- How to build internal champions who spread learning for you
- Simple internal branding tactics that boost visibility
- The power of minimal viable learning vs. over-engineering
- How to influence stakeholders and stay strategic under pressure
- Where to focus first when resource is tight
- Why psychological safety fuels experimentation and growth
- How to turn requests into patterns - and patterns into strategy
If you want your learning initiatives to spread faster, embed deeper and demonstrate value sooner, this one is worth your time. It’s an honest behind-the-scenes conversation designed to give L&D leaders clarity, confidence and practical shortcuts they can use straight away.
If you love podcast-style learning, Assemble You gives you ready-to-use, audio-first courses that slot straight into your learning strategy.
