Video Interview: Adam Werbach, yerdle's 6 Month Progress Report

By Nick Aster

TriplePundit attended the Sustainable Brands 2013 conference earlier this month. Follow along on this page for ongoing video interviews with sustainability thought leaders, corporate change agents and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to a more sustainable future.

Since launching on Black Friday last November, yerdle has been the rising darling of the sharing economy. It's a platform on which people can share literally anything, as well as find willing takers for things they no longer need. By engaging in these activities, it's hoped that new connections and a strong community of "sharers" will develop.

So far so good, it seems.  I had a chance to talk to yerdle co-founder Adam Werbach at SB13 this month to check in on their progress at roughly the 6 month mark.
