Episode 12: My First Book: The Story Behind Learning Unleashed

In mission-driven work, people are the greatest resource. The ones who know how to grow, and who help others grow. In this episode, Dr. Aldrich introduces his first book, Learning Unleashed: How Self-Direction Empowers Mission-Driven People and Teams, and explains a bit about why he wrote it. After more than twenty years in supported employment and consulting with mission-driven organizations, Ryan saw capable, committed people repeatedly stall inside organizations that cared deeply about their missions but weren't built to develop self-direction. At its core, that's a learning problem. He also shares where his own self-direction journey, and the book, really began: in a grocery store, with one memorable customer, some apples, and one incorrect produce code. 🎧 Learn what the book explores, who it's for, and why the conditions that hold people back are essential to address and build.
