Do Different Better – Ep. 59: Co-Ops Ain’t Just Crunchy Granola | How Collective Ownership Builds Community Wealth

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. ✊
