It’s All About the User Experience. Episode 76 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL). Guest: Brook Sheehan.

Crowdsourcing is coming up in a big way. You can split the cost of a car ride with strangers, rent an entire vehicle by the hour, stay in stranger’s far-flung vacation homes, find responsible sitters for your pets, and even swap unwanted clothing or household goods.

Even better, not only is crowdsourcing a handy way to get things done on a budget, the focus on splitting costs (and resources) is also great for the environment.

So, what’s next on the crowdsourcing horizon? Brook Shehand would love to add almost-expired food items to the list of swappable items that can now be found on an app.

Would you eat your neighbor’s almost-spoiled groceries? Check out what Brad has to say about Brook’s idea in this episode of Dropping Bombs.
