Guest: Damon Lembi

What happens when your lifelong dream ends overnight? In this inspiring episode, Dr. Allen Lycka sits down with Damon Lembi—former elite baseball player, two-time best-selling author, CEO of Learn It, and host of The Learn It All Podcast—to explore how failure, resilience, and curiosity can transform both leaders and organizations.

From being drafted by the Atlanta Braves to suddenly facing the end of his baseball career, Damon rebuilt his identity, starting as a receptionist in his father’s small computer-training business. Today, he leads Learn It, a global live learning platform that has upskilled over two million people. Damon shares how leaders can shift from “know-it-all” to “learn-it-all,” overcome imposter syndrome, and prepare their teams for the AI-driven future.

If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, career pivots, or the pressure to “have all the answers,” this episode will give you practical tools to lead with humility, confidence, and agility.

• Why “learn-it-all” leaders outperform “know-it-alls” in every field
