In this reflection on the life and legacy of Matt Perez, co-founder of Radical World and co-author of Radical Companies, Jose Leal shares the personal journey they walked together—from questioning traditional business norms to co-creating a vision rooted in co-ownership and co-management. The post honors Matt’s impact, his lessons from Nearsoft, and his unwavering commitment to building a world where organizations serve Life, not control.

What if work honored human needs instead of force and control? Radical rejects rigid hierarchies, embracing collaboration driven by purpose, meaning, and belonging. The Force Paradigm traps us in outdated systems—it’s time to shift. By connecting work with intrinsic motivation, we co-create a future where fulfillment and contribution go hand in hand.

What if businesses were built on contributions, not competition? Fiat rewards capital; Radical rewards collaboration. It’s not a fix—it’s a new system where co-ownership grows from participation, not money. Like pioneers, we must unlearn competition and rediscover cooperation. In crises, we come together—what if work was built that way?

What if ownership was based on contributions rather than money? Radical offers a new way—no bosses, no hierarchy, just recognized contributions shaping co-ownership. With RADs, transparency, and public dashboards, this alternative system challenges the traditional Fiat model. Ready to rethink work and value?
