    EP55 - You really should have been at CUAsia 2017

    "Everything was really, really, really good." There's something in the air at CUAsia, and it's making coworking founders and operators extremely good at their work. In this episode, Alex and Adam recap their recent trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand for CUAsia 2017. Find out what impressed them most during their trip overseas and why they think even though Asia is young in terms of coworking, the entire region deserves our undivided attention as leaders of the industry. While discussing the schedule of this year's conference, we dive into why we think CUAsia is far beyond the curve, why it feels like a coworking conference at its best, and why we think the Asia Pacific contingent of coworking professionals are primed to make big moves in our industry. Huge props to CAAP, Hubba, Hubud and so many more for putting in the work.

    EP54 - A better security system for your coworking space

    At Indy Hall, we don't offer lockers, we leave our door wide open, and we tend to leave our computers on our desks while we're away for lunch. And yet, we all feel safe and sound. How is that possible? In this episode, Adam and Alex visit a pivotal past event in which a member stole from the community and how we introduced a community-focused solution for keeping our members safe. A good security system is an incredibly important, super tricky thing that can be hard to introduce and easy to screw up. Is a lock-down solution worth the sacrifice of people feeling welcomed? Find out how we manage to keep our community safe while elevating the value and importance of trust. We've written about this before!

    EP53 - "Coworking will never work here"

    If you have ever heard or spoken the words "coworking won't work in this town", this episode is for you. Alex is joined by Sean Fedorko, founder of Radius Cowork, and the two community leaders debunk the popular myth that coworking can't succeed in a small town. Alex learns what gave Sean the confidence to start his coworking community in a place where everyone told him it wasn't possible. Find out what Philadelphia, the 5th largest city in the United States, and "small city" Erie, PA have in common when it comes to attitudes toward coworking. And learn why embracing your region, not rejecting it, is the strongest and most overlooked resource for your community's success.

    EP52 - How we use Slack to build community online

    In this episode, Sam and Alex talk tools - specifically, one tool we use at Indy Hall to create community continuity. Find out which communication software we use to create a first-class gathering space for our entire community. People underestimate how much value an online gathering place brings to a coworking community.

    EP51 - Slow the f*ck down!

    Yo! Coworking alone sucks. Who do you turn to when you need a boost? We're starting a new community for professional community builders. Meta, right? http://coworkingweekly.com/braintrust In this episode, Alex and Adam discuss an "impulsive" tattoo that symbolizes anything but hastiness. You've probably heard us talk about our JFDI philosophy, now we'll share an important compliment to that mantra. Plus, we recall a leadership lesson from an unexpected place: the orchestra.
