My guest today is David Brake, CEO of LRNGO.com, where learning meets the sharing economy. LRNGO is an open web & mobile marketplace where users in over 200 countries find experts and earn money teaching what they love, and exchange skills & knowledge with each other at no cost. (For instance: I’ll teach you an hour of computer programming if you teach me an hour of graphic design, or I’ll teach you a half hour of English if you teach me a half hour of Spanish once a week.) David is really passionate about learning, and he says, “Learning is personalized – it’s your story, and no one has the same path as you.”
David is also the founder of Teachers 2 Go LLC, a company that creates win/win situations for teachers to earn supplemental income by bringing them to the location of clients. He is also organizer of two not-for profit community groups: the Houston Language Partners and Houston Learning Exchange.
