Back to EpisodesDo Different Better – Ep. 59: Co-Ops Ain’t Just Crunchy Granola | How Collective Ownership Builds Community Wealth
Description
Co-Ops Ain’t Just Crunchy Granola
They’re a whole wealth strategy—and they’ve been in our DNA forever.
This week on the Do.Different.Better Show, I’m breaking down:
What co-ops actually are (it’s not just food stores)
Why Black, Brown & immigrant communities have always done mutual ownership
The 5 co-op types: worker, consumer, housing, producer & credit unions
Real talk: the benefits and the hard truths of shared ownership
How YOU can invest, support, or even start a co-op
What to watch out for (because collective doesn’t mean easy)
This ain’t theory—it’s survival strategy. Ownership is better together.
