Why Do ShareTribe Love Steward-Ownership So Much?

A glimpse into the Share Economy Platform with Juho

In this episode, we spoke with our friend Juho just before he became an equity crowdfunded millionaire! Why Do

ShareTribe Love Steward-Ownership So Much? We,ll we will discuss the many issues and ways people in the share

economy platform can build their businesses. Juho who is from Finland and runs the company ShareTribe.  He will

give us an overall look at the way the share economy system affects people in all aspects. Also, potential ways in

which the share economy model can work for everyone. While there are many ways in which this peer to peer

marketplace can advance, there’s ways in which it can advance so that no one is struggling when they are trying to

thrive.

ShareTribes fight is to get the share economy platform to share the market place for free without technology. This is

an attempt to make the market place accessible for everyone to thrive. For practical implications of these platforms

what does this change have? Let’s take a concrete example. Juho’s analysis of the market situation of online

marketplace technology is what helped him to base his decision to try and fix on the upsides and downsides of share

economy. Also, ShareTribe Steward-Ownership comes to the conclusion that if companies mainly focuses its efforts

solely on building a high priced company. And with this come major gains from proprietary marketplace share

economy platform technology. Visit www.sharetribe.com

How Free Are You As A Freelancer? With Michel Bauwens

Michel Bauwens different aspects of being a freelancer

How Free You As A Freelancer? with Michel Bauwens we talk about the future of work and the autonomous

worker. Michel who is founder at the P2P Foundation as well as advisor at SMart gives insight into being an

freelancer. We further discuss the issues of whether or not people are as free as they believe they are when becoming

a freelancer.  However, it discusses the politics of freelancing. With anything there’s a good side and downside but

Michel helps us to understand the aspects of working as a freelancer. The issues are dealing with being seen as a

capitalist and not having to the ability to be as free as you want in the freelance industry.

The seemingly bad side about it is that people are seemingly a slave to the industry and highly underpaid for their

work. Also, the issue is global and only a small minority lives better as a freelancer then most people who become a

freelancer. We also talk about the different areas of freelancing and how the way people are paid across many

platforms like, journalism and how income is generated as a freelancer. Furthermore, trying to find social protection

as a freelance worker is discussed.

Freelancer in the field have to create themselves networks and build peer to peer  systems to become more

successful. Freelancers are struggling at what they do in many aspects, especially with  subordination. As a freelancer

you’re your own entrepreneur. The focus of this discussion is to teach people how to  enable themselves to do better

in the freelancer field and know when it is right for them and when to get out when it  doesn’t work for them. Being

an autonomous worker can provide people the opportunity to be their own boss but as attractive as it may seem, it

can have negative affects. In addition, these negative affects are if you don’t know how to apply yourself in the

market.
