## Resource

Nolan Hout has spent 15 years at InfoPro Learning without ever doing the same job twice. In this episode we talk about the culture that made that possible, the shift happening right now in consulting as AI kills the billable hour model, and why chasing a job title might be the wrong move entirely. If you work in talent development, L&D, or any kind of people consulting, this one will change how you think about pricing your own value.
