Andy’s Bio:

My name is Andy Smith. I am an English teacher, world traveler, and husband/father. I have been teaching for around 23 years. I have taught in Colorado, Georgia and Abu Dhabi which is in the UAE. Abu Dhabi is about an hour away from Dubai. My wife and I met there while we both were teaching. We had our first boy there, and then our other two boys were born here in Atlanta. When I was in Abu Dhabi, I began to think about how teachers could benefit from learning how to create streams of income to be able to teach and still have enough money to live! Many teachers love their job, but they are leaving due to the pay they are getting. I decided to create a business called Innovative Education Global, or IEG. This idea is for anyone because everyone is either a teacher or someone learning. I am now focused on creating an educational system where people can travel and learn too. I have partnered with a few companies that will help create revenue for teachers and anyone else with little to no money spent. These companies provide worldwide opportunities which is exactly what I want to happen. There is a company called Refer Life Connect which is a social platform created for people to use to connect as well as to make money. It is very new, but I will be showing people how to use it. We had been on a social platform that pays people to use it, but it is currently not there because they are creating their V1 after finishing their Beta Version. The next company that I really want to talk about is called ZenYGE. This is an energy company that people can join for free and earn money. There are products that can be sold worldwide that will help people get energy as far as solar, water and health. There are other options as well. I also am showing people a way to get free crypto just by adding an extension to their chrome browser. This is all for the purpose of creating a way for people to be part of an international new way to provide learning experiences for anyone who wants to be a part of IEG. If anyone wants to learn how to make some extra revenue, build ways to travel, learn from people around the world, help people around the world or just connect with others who love to learn, then being a part of a the IEG global community is just right for you!
