Whatever you’re trying to do in life, there’s a good chance that someone, somewhere has already gone through it and come out on the other end.

The struggle comes with finding those people to ask. Wisewords is a platform that connects people who are experienced with those who are looking for advice.
Wisewords aims to connect millennials (students, recent grads and young professionals) with people who are currently ahead of them in life and are in those positions that millennials strive to be in.
“Its ridiculous how underprepared students are for the workforce after spending $130,000 on an education,” says Wisewords. “Universities arent doing a good enough job of bridging the gap from school to workso we are.”

They allow you to have 1-to-1 phone conversations to get “life-tested, actionable advice.” The idea, they say, is to help you avoid mistakes by talking with the people who have made the same mistakes before.
As of now the platform focuses on the creative industries — which are some of the hardest to break into. Categories on the website include graphic design, photography and marketing.
Wisewords lists Google, Facebook, Cartoon Network and National Geographic as some of the companies the advisors have worked for.
Wisewords simplifies the process in three simple steps:
1. Schedule a call
Browse or search through hundreds of experiences and choose the one that speaks to you. Suggest three times to chat with the advisor. Once you and your advisor confirm a time, well send you both a number to call.
2. Chat over the phone
This is where the magic happens. By magic, we mean honest, unfiltered, tailored advice over a private phone call. Get answers, insights, suggestions & ideas from an industry pro.
3. Send them a gift
Send your advisor a gift via our store to say thank you. If the call was less than stellar, we offer a 100% money back guarantee.
Wisewords says the list of people ready to help you include “over 250 industry experts who range from people 5 years into their career to senior art directors at fortune 500 companies.”
Wisewords, Inc. was founded in September 2013 by Dawson Whitfield.
