Welcome to Talent Stacked, a new podcast by L&D expert Jeff Weaver.
[00:00:00] Hi everyone, I'm Jeff Weaver. My whole career has been in professional development and for over a decade I was an army of one as a solo training department. Yet in that time I created hundreds of hours of training and similar content, writing, video, graphics, logos, presentations
[00:00:16] and more all while having no expert skills setting any of those things. Along the way I've created a talent stack that has made it possible for me to be everything from a speaker to a programmer
[00:00:28] to an editor and even a podcaster. You've probably heard about talent stacks. It's a personal development philosophy that says you create unique value by stacking a bunch of seemingly unrelated
[00:00:38] talents together. I've been doing it since before it had a name, and so many of my friends and colleagues. So I'm on a mission to talk to them about the various talents they've stacked and that have made
[00:00:49] them successful, and I'm taking you with me along the way. So join me for Talent Stacked. Every episode you'll hear from talented people about how they added skills to their stacks, why it's benefited
[00:01:00] them, and why it might just be right for you too. Whether you're looking to build your own stack, help others learn to build their stacks, or are just the kind of person who loves a jack of all
[00:01:09] trades master of non-mantality? This podcast is for you. Join me as we explore the weird collection of skills that make up the most uniquely talented people around. Get ready to get Talent Stacked.
