Sharing economy makes an impact
Why own something when you can rent or “share” it? Why not rent or “share” your own stuff to make some money?
From people renting out their homes to travelers via Airbnb, to ride-share services such as Uber or Lyft, or bike share services like Bublr bikes, the influence of the sharing economy is growing.
The sharing economy is a new way to do what people have always done for each other, according to April Rinne, a consultant and speaker on the sharing economy and a young global leader for the World Economic Forum. She will talk about the sharing economy at Marquette University's Real Estate Strategies Conference on Thursday, Sept. 10.
“There's nothing new about sharing,” Rinne said. “It's as old as mankind. What's new is technology. We can find almost anything from our smartphones.”
