In this episode of Training That Works, Rustin Schroeder talks with Denton Myers-Pollock about what makes training actually work inside an organization. Denton shares the best training experiences of his career… including a month-long onboarding program where new sales hires had to earn their spot on the floor by closing real deals, and a leadership coaching framework that stuck because it was reinforced week after week. He explains why training without follow up is wasted effort and how culture shifts when leaders themselves commit to learning.

They also dive into the flip side… when training fails. Denton recalls long automotive industry workshops where leadership dismissed everything as useless. He contrasts that with the startup world where reps crave coaching and growth. Along the way, Denton opens up about his personal journey, how discipline matters more than motivation, why co-authoring training plans with employees creates accountability, and how he built his career without a college degree.

If you want to know how to design training that people actually buy into, scale it with technology, and build a culture of continuous improvement, this conversation delivers the blueprint.
