The last couple of years, if anything, forced all of us to be more active in the digital world. Accessing grocery stores, banks, or even family gatherings digitally became part of the routine of almost everyone. Still, many of us in the second half-century of our lives struggle a bit with the online world, and we look for alternatives to it to avoid feeling the uncomfortable sensation of not knowing basic stuff like accessing a website, posting a picture, or joining a virtual room.
Our guest, Lawrence Kosick, after a formidable career building and leading enterprise technology business and sales teams, decided to create GetSetUp, a company dedicated to re-skilling Seniors who then teach other Seniors to find their way around in the digital world.
We delve into GetSetUp's origins, what motivated Lawrence to create it, and the platform's remarkable expansion, from the variety of topics they teach to the numerous countries and languages they cover. We talk about GetSetUp's mechanics and how users can access it and participate in any of the more than a hundred daily classes. Lawrence also spoke about how some learners end up becoming teachers or guides of the platform after taking a class, the importance of employing Seniors to teach to generate a specific kind of response in students, and he described the wide variety of courses we can find in the platform.
