Volition was originally launched in 2022 to run interviews with people whose careers I admired. To learn about how they switched between different kinds of work, learned new skills, and flexed their agency.
These episodes will continue to be available in the podcast history but with this episode the podcast is relaunching with a new focus. I recently started a new writing project,
Skillful Notes, which investigates how people, organisations, and countries build competence. Going forward Volition will host recordings of Skillful Notes essays and case studies, alongside interviews with a mix of scholars who are investigating how we become capable of new things and builders who are becoming more competent in their respective fields.
For this first episode in the new chapter of Volition we'll a recording of the first Skillful Notes essay on Apprenticeship. I hope you like it.
