In this episode, Rhys and David unpack our 2026 predictions for learning and work, and why the real shift isn’t about content, but about labour.
Three structural changes are already underway:
• AI training is exploding but context, not generic skills, will win
• L&D budgets aren’t shrinking: they’re being absorbed into productivity and ops
• Hyper-specialised AI agents are redesigning roles from the inside out
For founders, this isn’t trend commentary. It’s about who controls the budget, how ROI is measured, and whether you’re selling access or productivity. In 2026, learning companies won’t compete on content. They’ll compete on labour outcomes.
