Hello! I've just started a worker coop last year with some colleagues. We serve for-profit traditional businesses in the cannabis industry, helping them build data and analytics capabilities. I've wanted to do something like your "second degree" approach, with the goal of creating closer relationships to help guarantee a sustainable long-term lifestyle business. Do you think you could have gone the "second degree" route if you had served for-profit clients? How did early conversations about this ownership model unfold? Do you have any advice for others who want to follow your model? Can new customer-owners join? How does that work with existing customer-owners? Thank you! Much respect.
