Problem
Retired professionals aged 55-63 (accountants, engineers, marketers, HR managers, etc.) have 30 years of career know-how, but to monetize it, they must create full courses on lecture platforms or start a consulting firm. There is no structure to lightly share their experience and receive small fees, like a 30-minute phone consultation, so their career assets go to waste. Junior employees seeking advice also want to hear seniors' experiences instead of expensive consulting, but there is no connection channel.
Solution
Retired professionals register 'available topics, time slots, and rates (15/30/60 minutes)', and junior employees or aspiring entrepreneurs search by topic to book, pay, and conduct video consultations in one place. After each consultation, ratings and reviews accumulate to verify expertise.
