Think about the car or bicycle sitting idle in your garage at home. What about the camping gear you used only once or twice. Now think about leveraging those unused items to earn thousands of rupees a month.

This is an older episode of LeveVei with Michel Bauwens of the P2P Foundation as the guest. I have been a tremendous fan of Bauwens' work for around ten years or so now.
