Direct Engagement for Knowledge Growth with Bwise and Eric Beach

History When I first conceived the idea of Bwise, I had sharing in mind. I have always considered collaboration the best community effort. Pure value in doing something constructive while networking and sharing at the same time. I had hoped that BWise would be a platform where grandmothers were teaching canning and cooking. Grandfathers were teaching masonry and tree pruning. Where you could find an educator local to you on any subject you can think of. Philosopy I have always dreamed of being an engineer. Of developing a better car, or gadget. A way to capture or use energy. I only want to improve, not to be a burden. Since I was a child I thought one should invest in what is closest to you first. God, Yourself, your family, your community and your country. As part of my transition from the Army I had to ask myself what I wanted to do afterwards. It’s a big ask, you must know your own self-worth to give yourself an honest answer. I settled on property management...you could say I settled on it because it was a sure bet. I was comfortable with all the tasks and duties associated with it.  I know the return on investment. BWise www.bwise.app BWise is a fully comprehensive sales and marketing platform for the teacher, instructors, DIYer and mentor. Any industry can benefit from this education model and any type of industry or individual would benefit from implementing it. #onlinelearning #education #learning #elearning #onlineclasses #handsonlearning #learneasier #lifeskills #bwise #onlinelearning #onlinecourses #coaching #teachers #teaching #student #learning
