October 2023: A Note from Peter Neuwirth, host, Money Mountaineering: The Sharing Economy — There’s no better marriage than bookstores and authors when it comes to sharing big ideas. That’s why you will love this month’s episode of Money Mountaineering with host Peter Neuwirth.
This is Season 2, and the actuary and author is teaching us about the Sharing Economy, which includes:
- What we each consider as “assets” to live on comprises far more than our financial assets and real estate; it also includes our skills, knowledge, relationships, and things that we own that we don’t use all the time and can share with others.
- Sharing is both financially efficient (cutting out middlemen and transaction costs) and more sustainable in the long term than spending down a finite pot of money.
- A sharing economy requires “affinity” and happens best locally and in the real world. How and where it works and how scalable it is are the questions that I will explore in the upcoming interviews.
Our September guest is Rebekah Wright, Bookstore Manager for Barnes and Noble in Santa Rosa, a mother, writer, and poet who believes everyone has a story to tell.
Our topic: Books, bookstores, and the role they play in our world
Pete and Bekah discuss:
- What is the role of a bookstore in terms of the sharing economy?
- What does title curation in the bookstore look like, and how does it happen?
- What is the relationship between the store and the author?
- Why is censorship of books harmful?
- How do we keep bookstores alive?
