Ep:22 Virtual working, learning, and shifting human consciousness with Andrei Hedstrom CEO & Co-Founder of Sweetrush

Jun 9, 2020

In this fascinating conversation Dan Tohill interviews Andrei Hedstrom, CEO & Co-Founder of Sweetrush, an award-winning and industry leading learning company that operates globally and has been operating virtually for over 10 years.

They cover Andrei's history in the industry and the story of how he came to co-found Sweetrush. They also discuss the disruption caused by the global pandemic and how he predicts  this will impact the L&D industry.

Below are some of our favourite quotes from Andrei during the conversation:

• "The move to virtual learning is like an avalanche right now. And it's not just for this moment. It's anticipated that 'coming back' is going to be different."
• "Disruption as tragic as it is on a lot of levels, really gives us a new opportunity to ask, what is going to enrich my people's lives?"

• "How can I apply my craft to the meaningful problems? So we can experience being heroes and not just consumers."

• "The reason why I like learning and development is that education lifts people out of poverty. That's proven."

• "The most important learnings in my life had something to do with love or suffering."
• "We all have a need for love, respect, meaning and purpose in life. The human condition is a shared condition in desperately different circumstances right now."
