The Cooperators Podcast Episode 14 Neal Gorenflo Shareable

Call this podcast a deep dive into platform cooperatives and more broadly the sharing economy. That's what Neal Gorenflo, executive director of Shareable in San Francisco, spends his days noodling on. This is a wide ranging, largely unstructured conversation but there are headline moments strewn throughout, from Gorenflo's Road to Damascus epiphany that prompted him to resign a corporate job and become a sharing guru through his bareful perspective on Uber - sizzling stuff - and musing about Emilia Romagna which he sees as something of a polar opposite of Silicon Valley because it's a place where cooperatives really matter.
