New positioning targets executives and thought leaders with strategic conversations on unlocking workforce performance.
Infopro Learning, a leading corporate learning consulting firm, today announced the rebranding of its popular podcast series to “The Talent Equation with Nolan Hout.” Previously known as “The Learning and Development Podcast,” the refreshed show expands its scope beyond traditional L&D topics to address the broader talent and performance challenges facing business leaders today.
Hosted by Nolan Hout, Senior Vice President of Growth at Infopro Learning, the newly positioned podcast will explore how organizations can solve their most pressing talent challenges, from skills gaps and leadership development to performance optimization and workforce transformation.
From Tactical Training to Strategic Talent
The rebrand reflects a broader shift in how organizations approach workforce development. According to the podcast’s mission, talent strategy has become a critical C-suite priority, with CHROs and CLOs now tasked with solving complex business problems that extend far beyond traditional training programs.
What to Expect from The Talent Equation
The podcast will maintain its commitment to featuring thought leaders, practitioners, and business executives, but with an expanded focus that includes:
- Strategic Talent Leadership: Conversations with CHROs, CEOs, and CLOs about building high-performing organizations
- Performance Optimization: How companies drive measurable business outcomes through their people
- AI and Technology: Practical applications of AI in talent development and workforce planning
- Skills-Based Transformation: Moving from credentials to capabilities in the modern workplace
- From Strategy to Scale: How to execute enterprise-wide talent initiatives without losing innovation
“We’re positioning this for the senior leaders who need thought partnership, not just tactics,” Hout explained. “These are executives making decisions about millions of dollars in talent investments. They need strategic insights, not just training tips.”
Maintaining Core Values While Expanding Reach
The rebrand doesn’t abandon L&D practitioners. Rather, it positions learning and development as a critical component of the larger talent equation.
“L&D professionals will still find tremendous value here,” said Hout. “But we’re also speaking to the CFO who’s asking about ROI, the CEO who needs to close skills gaps, and the CHRO building the workforce of the future. The Talent Equation is about showing how all these pieces connect.”
The podcast will continue to feature the in-depth, practitioner-focused conversations that made it successful, but with broader appeal to business leaders across HR, operations, and the C-suite.
