In other episodes we have discussed the benefits of the cooperative business model – being or becoming worker-owned. We’ve highlighted the benefits of bridging cultural divides to create the future we want. We’ve explored money, what it is and how to slow it down in your community. We’ve discussed how to measure happiness on a national level. We’ve also talked about the benefits that can accrue in a community where there is an active ecosystem catalyst organization, or ecosystem entrepreneur. Today’s show profiles an organization that demonstrates concretely what’s possible when worker-owned and operated, when cultural divides are bridged, when the community is engaged in its own success, and when alternative funding opportunities are leveraged. The organization is CERO Co-op in Dorchester Massachusetts.
