Historically, to participate in an organized experience,  everyone had to be physically in the same location. While we never want to replace the physical in-person gathering place, we believe that a virtual venue will allow for social gatherings in a way that was previously impossible. LetsVidya offers a multitude of experiences, spread throughout the week, and hosted by a professional host with a proven track record in their field of expertise. Put simply, LetsVidya is a platform that breaks down the walls created by having to attend experiences at a physical location and makes them accessible from the comfort of your own home."   "There are few things I love more in life than connecting people around a shared experience. It is always fun to see a group of people work together to accomplish a task while laughing and enjoying themselves. For the last 13 years I have perfected this art while working with middle school and high school students, but now I am excited to partner with LetsVidya and engage adults as they journey towards an amazing experience." - James Warren Learn More: https://www.letsvidya.com   The Fervent Four Show:   Did you know that only 4% of businesses hit $1M in revenue?
