It made sense to kick off our podcast in conversation with each other.
What the heck are we doing?
Why should anyone listen?
Who are we?????
In this episode, we share our origin story, fail at Avril Lavigne lyrics, and dig into why we care so dang much about cooperatives.
Make sure you stay until the end to hear random animal facts!
Action items from this conversation:
- What does growth mean to you?
- What is your business structure (hierarchical, horizontal, cooperative) and why did you pick it? Does it align with your values?
- Have you ever considered building a bat house?
Flying the Coop is brought to you by Strange Birds, a messaging co-op that gives a flying duck. From websites to onboarding flows, launches to long-term strategy: if you want your brand, offers, and experience to tell the same story, we can help.
