Recently posted to the Coworking Google Group. Reposted here as a lead in to a series of posts of the emerging ecology of work/workplace.
After a year of living the life of a working nomad, and after many conversations with both coworkers, independents, entrepreneurs, as well as people in corporate HR and Real Estate, it’s clear […]

Well guys, we are drawing near.
Tony, Todd and I have been hard at work on our ‘coworking book’ for many months now, and we are close indeed. The book has evolved into being about more than coworking. What we have encountered in our journey into coworking is a glimpse into the Future Of Work.
Coworking is, indeed, a key ingredient […]

If you type “coworking” or “coworking” and the name of a city into Google the sponsored links increasing look like the following:
I have no idea whether or not this is good or bad. I have no doubt that a group of people could come together and turn a corner of a rent-a-desk into a […]

(Lake Travis sunset, west of Austin)
In Austin for a few days for meetings, and lucky to spend a few days coworking with the awesome guys at Conjunctured.
Bandit leans over just now to remind me that the 1st Anniversary Party at Indy Hall is coming up soon. Tony B will surely be there…Luuhckeeee!!! You better be […]

During our visit to Roam, we learned that the Roswell Jelly was meeting a short distance down the road. We caught up with Randall again (we’re not sure if that’s his real name and we don’t know for certain what he does) and met Kevin Bachman and the entire crew (and Scott, who was previously […]

We’re on site at Roam Atlanta today. Roam is an “innovative meeting, dining, and gathering place for a new progressive workforce.” Roam isn’t coworking–it’s a space and a set of great services that support business men/women, independents, etc.–but it’s clearly trying to be supportive of the movement–the local Jelly meets here, free of charge, a […]

A few months ago I wrote a piece on the Business of Coworking. It received a decent amount of attention, both positive and negative. Frankly, more negative than anything, but that was the point.
Can coworking be a business? Should it?
Clearly there are different answers that can be provided here. What I am interested in […]

I’m in town from out of town. I need the Internet–I have a presentation/demonstration at 3pm. I’m going to be talking, perhaps loudly. I don’t want the sound of a barista banging away in the background. What do I do? More to the point, where do I go?
This is just […]
This year marks the third year in a row that we’ve been outside the US for the 4th of July. That’s a real bummer, because my brother’s birthday is on July 4th and I love to hoist a beer with him on his day.
Thinking and writing from France this week, I’m coming to a clearer perspective on the […]
Grease is not the word. The word is antipreneur!
This is the word we have been lacking at NotanMBA…Antipreneurs are pro-business but anti BigCo. We are pro-competition but anti-conglomerate. We are keen on local, community-based businesses that are sustainable and lead to balance between work and home. Above all, we see a business landscape where people […]
