Established thought leaders with verified media credentials.
What it really takes to build a career and life you're proud of, told by the people who've actually done it. The Capability Edge is real career stories from leaders across every industry. The pivots nobody posts about. The failures that turned out to be the whole point. The fetal position moments that are way more common than anyone admits. And the decisions that actually built the career they have now — not the cleaned-up version, the real one. Hosted by Candice Mitchell, founder and CEO of Talent Collective, USA Today bestselling author of Choose You: For the People Who Refuse to Disappear, and a practitioner with nearly 20 years inside People functions. Solo episodes cover talent strategy, people capability, and meeting this moment, because AI is rewriting the rules and the organizations that bring their people along are the ones that will still be standing. This is not a highlight reel. This is the hallway conversation, out loud, on purpose. New episodes every Friday. Previously published as Development Nerds.
