About this listen

 In this episode of Show Me How You Do It, host Sofie Willox goes straight to the source — Mike Taylor, learning consultant and the curator behind the long-running Friday Finds newsletter — to find out how he consistently finds, filters, and shares high-quality L&D content every single week without missing a beat. Mike walks Sofie through the surprisingly practical system behind his workflow: a feed reader (he's a Feedly devotee, with a nod to the dearly departed Google Reader) organized into A, B, and "everything else" buckets that let him match his reading time to his available bandwidth, a bookmarking tool (Raindrop.io) that lets him tag and categorize content so he can actually find it again later, and a simple deadline-driven discipline that keeps the newsletter going even when Thursday night arrives faster than expected. Along the way, they touch on the underappreciated art of content cleanup — retiring old material before it just gathers digital dust — and Mike makes the case that the biggest obstacle to consistent content creation isn't finding the right tool, it's simply getting started. With over two decades of experience as a learning consultant, Mike Taylor has been a driving force behind transformative instructional design and organizational performance. Known for his captivating speaking style and influential newsletter, Mike is dedicated to making learning more engaging, accessible, and effective. As a faculty member in Franklin University's Graduate Instructional Design and Technology program, he bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world practice, equipping future learning professionals with the skills to excel in today's dynamic landscape. Mike's innovative approach and infectious passion are redefining the way we think about learning.
