Search every verified Alex Howland interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Alex Howland, president of eXp World Technologies at Exp World Holdings, appeared on the podcast "The Talent Equation" on April 8, 2026, to discuss the integration of artificial intelligence with virtual reality for leadership development. Howland, who also founded Virbela, described how immersive AI-powered simulations can help employees practice skills such as conflict management and decision-making. He noted that while text-based coaching tools exist, his approach focuses on coaching based on "a real behavioral sample" rather than conversation alonevoice. Howland recounted that his company's "previous sister company EXP Realty grew from a thousand agents to 88,000 agents on our platform," with thousands of people attending virtual events as avatars. He acknowledged challenges in the field, stating he "failed to raise funds" initially but "started selling" anyway. On ethical considerations, Howland emphasized "making sure people know that they're talking to an AI and not a real human" and addressing privacy concerns, including ensuring "we're not training models based on what people are saying in these simulations." He expressed optimism about scaling coaching, saying "imagine being able to have a coach for every employee out there... we can do that synchronously, asynchronously now."
