I have been looking for a company to follow with this podcast for a while and extendedrelative.com is it. 
Every few weeks we'll touch base with Max and his team to see how high (or low) they going. 
Max has "done the San Francisco thing" and understands people, tech and business. He has put this altogether into extendedrelative.com which is hardly born yet!

The platform enables people to connect to collaborate around family tasks from baby sitting, making food and dropping stuff off at the post office. 

What is great about Max and his team is they know they have not got it right and need input from users, I really appreciate this - often start up companies want to impose their great product on people and then wonder why no one uses it.

Last of all, alongside co-working this platform is the most specific to my own life. I'd like you to think it was jetting round the world in Airbnb, or swapping ranches in Latin America for my cool London pad - the harsh reality is baby sitting, finding time to cook and hang the washing!

Doug came along to #TAGtribe breakfast in London and got us all drawing away.

What has this got to do with the Sharing Economy? 

I think it is important to invite people to contribute to projects, work, movements not force them to, Doug is one of a handful of people I have met who is investigating this and helping large companies build this type of enviroment for their teams in a co-active way. 

We touch on shame and Brene Brown’s work in this area. 

What is the benifit of sharing your idea?
How do we really collaberate while working and where should we be looking?

You’ll find no answers by listening to this podcast but maybe you’ll walk away asking better questions.

Doug Shaw - The Art of Proceeding until Apprehended

“This is your invitation to be part of something big. It’s a plan to change the world together — while having a damn good time — and we want you to be part of it! With your help, we’re going to start 100 local sharing movements for 100 sharing cities.”

What’s a sharing city you ask?

Well if you asked me what a sharing City is I know what I imagine it to be in my little Bernie fantasy head, even what I’d like it to be! Explaining it to a group of people and propelling it into action – this is where I become unstuck! I am very enthusiastic about this but not sure how to get involved.

So rather than pretend to know it I rang up our good friend Neal at Sharable and (would you believe it) the Sharable team are launching the Sharing Cities Network and at the time of posting they are over 2/3 rd’s of the way to the $50 crowd funder to get 100 cities connected to sharing in 2014.

I caught Matt from "Echo" walking by @90Mainyard and pullled him in for a podcast to chat about their event in the Olympic Park next week. 

What is this?
Echo is an Economy of Hours: a marketplace without the money. Simply put, our members trade the skills, services or resources they have for those they need, using a currency called Echoes. The exchange rate couldn’t be easier: 1 hour = 1 Echo.
