  • AI #067: FOBO, Microlearning & The $37K Mistake: The True Cost of Losing Talent- Jon Grannis
    Jun 17 2025

    In this eye-opening episode, Joe Testouri sits down with Jon Grannis—learning strategist, talent development advocate, and founder of Sollah—to dive deep into the hidden costs of indecision, the power of microlearning, and the $37,000 mistake that reshaped how he views talent retention forever.

    Jon shares raw insights on FOBO (Fear of Better Options) and how it's paralyzing companies from making confident, people-centered decisions. He walks us through real-world stories where poor onboarding and underinvesting in learning cost businesses more than they ever realized—not just in dollars, but in people.

    We explore the rise of bite-sized, personalized learning (microlearning) as a solution for a rapidly evolving workforce, and why rethinking employee development isn’t just a "nice to have"—it's a survival strategy.

    Whether you’re a business leader, HR professional, or startup founder, this episode will challenge how you view talent, growth, and the systems you're building around them.

    Tune in to learn what Jon would do differently, and how you can avoid making the same costly mistake.
