Meet the Co-op Leaders is a chance to hear from innovative and inspiring leaders in the co-operative and mutual sector, and to hear the stories behind these remarkable organisations.

Episode notes:

Taryn Lane's remarkable journey has seen her experience the power of co-operation across the world. Working in indigenous women's co-operatives in Mexico, Guatemala and Timor-Leste, she witnessed first-hand how solidarity and leadership were key elements of rebuilding in post-war cultures.

Harnessing this knowledge and experience has seen Taryn make a significant impact in her work at Victorian co-op Hepburn Energy, which is a pioneering organisation in the renewable energy sector. Discover how Taryn's empowering approach to leadership has seen this small but mighty co-op consistently punch above its weight – not just in the provision of renewable energy, but in mobilising grassroots support and making itself heard in the political realm.

Presented by the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals.

Welcome to Meet the Co-op Leaders, the podcast series that features insightful conversations with the people leading innovative and inspiring co-op and mutual businesses.

Co-ops and mutuals are the businesses owned by members rather than shareholders. They are all around us and they include some of the biggest brand names. In fact, 80 per cent of us are members of at least one co-op or mutual, but most of us don’t even know that. In an age of putting purpose before profits, it's more important than ever to learn about the original people-centred business model. So we’re bringing the leaders to you, to tell you in their own words what makes this a better way to do business.

Melina Morrison, CEO of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals and co-operative developer and founder of Co-op Bonds, Antony McMullen, present this series.

In this series, Melina and Antony will be bringing you a new conversation with a co-op leader every couple of weeks to lift the lid on this business model.
