Take a seat in the Brooks Institute auditorium with the Santa Barbara chapter of AIGA and enjoy watching Bruce Heavin and Lynda Weinman as they present the history of lynda.com to an audience for the first time. The lynda.com co-founders share stories of how their careers, relationship, and company started and evolved, and how their vision and high standards have brought together a team insistent on excellence. This is an engaging, fascinating inside look into the heart and soul of a recognized leader in software training.
We’ll be posting a few segments of that night’s recordings here on the blog, starting with Lynda sharing some early memories and educational experiences. We invite you to view the entire lynda.com story on lynda.com.
In this video, Lynda opens her heart and shares her earliest recollections: Her childhood, how she discovered an alternative path to education and put herself through school, and how she developed a work ethic that shaped her personal direction and ultimately, the direction of lynda.com.

Loved the story!
Very inspiring! You have created a wonderful place for me to learn and for this, I thank you so very much. Be encouraged and may God continue to bless you richly. PEACE!
Thanks for sharing your story, Lynda!
I am sure it will help many students who are in junior high school and high school who are under so much peer and social pressure know that there are many paths to happiness besides the ones prescribed by schools and the other four P’s – (Parents, Priests, Professors & Politicions, LOL!)!!!
Looks like your sucess will have no bounds.
We are with you always….
Thank you so much for sharing Lynda. It was incredibly personal and every bit inspiring. It is through the lynda.com training that I have found my own path and begun my own business. I could not have done so without it. This makes it all the more special.
It’s our pleasure to share the lynda.com story with you. For the next several weeks, we’ll reveal another chapter of the story here on the blog. If you can’t wait to hear all of it, click on the view “the entire lynda.com story on lynda.com” link above. – David
