Ep 44 - More Than Just Coworking with 1909, General Provisions, and The LAB Miami

The Big Idea Box

Join us as we speak with three leaders who have turned "co-working upside down" with accelerator programs, educational workshops, mental health efforts, and even virtual communities like no other! Led by Nikki Cabus, VP at Palm Beach Association, today's guests are: Shana Ostrovitz, Executive Director at 1909; Tim Hasse, Founder of General Provision, and Rachael Bickford, Managing Director at The LAB Miami. Co-working spaces have grown in popularity over the last decade and many people wonder if they are just a fad? The average co-working space is simply intended for remote workers or freelances to have a place to go, get out of the house, and share resources such as a printer or wifi. This industry has changed drastically. Traditional co-working has given birth to a new way of thinking . . . to communities with values that help individuals grow, for freelancers to connect and gain resources, a place for startup founders to scale their businesses, and for tech professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs to feel empowered through their journey.
