I started with a bachelor of Business in Entrepreneurship where no one even whispered the word cooperative.  Then spent the last 4.5 years learning all about Worker Cooperative Start ups with Earthworker. From this created a Cooperative Bootcamp where we take in groups of 5 people with a feasibility analysis of their business idea that they want to make into a worker coop.  I am excited to see what the the DEAL work looks like alongside this work.

Denmark

Interested in the intersection between #biodiversity and #business - helping people and businesses achieve meaningful #impact in their ecological setting. 

Seoul, Korea

I studied traditional economics in university.  DEAL's approach considers vital areas in the current period, such as the environment and consequences of uneven development, whereas traditional economic theories also considered those items, albeit ceteris paribus, in promoting their respective analysis.  I accept the notion that the broader definition of "prosperity" is not necessarily correlated with a nation's rise in GDP.

Hi all, I've found this community through listening to the Freakonomics Podcast.  It oddly intersects with my resurfacing of a desire for a simpler life that focuses on self sufficiency and quality of life vs constantly pursuing...more. I'm a single mom, grew up on the plains of South Dakota on a ranch with a tremendous garden and literally raising our own meat. Now I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and spend ridiculous amounts of money on groceries that are lower quality than what I grew up with.  I am gradually trying to shift my rented apartment to becoming more self sufficient and want to share what I learn so others can do the same. Thereby meeting some of our basic needs with less money , decreasing impact on the environment, and improving overall quality of life for me, my child, and hopefully my community.
