Tim Dickerson is like many Sententia learners (roughly 50% if you want a number), he ended up in instructional design by happenstance more than choice.  In this episode Monica and Tim talk about what particular gems of gamification wisdom were the most meaningful to him, and why you should rush to failure as fast as possible.
