How a Local Tool Library Beat Amazon and Built Community
Lucas and Luna visit Portland's Northeast Tool Library, a member-run lending library that has weathered supply chain shocks and Amazon competition by focusing on community ownership and skill-building. With 3,000 members and a 94 percent renewal rate, the library shows how a local business can thrive by being anti-Amazon on purpose. The hosts break down the economics of tool sharing, the membership model that replaced retail, and what other small businesses can learn about pricing access over ownership.
