Show notes
Recorded between meetups in Costa Rica, San Diego, and Prague, Steve uses this episode to explain what Empoweri actually is for members who've heard him mention it but don't quite get it.
He breaks down the financial side, cash back and perk packs that can offset membership costs many times over, and the influence side, collective efforts like coordinated messaging to Amazon and work with the online merchants guild on sales tax issues.
A clear explainer for anyone who keeps hearing about the co-op and wants to know what it actually does.
