327. Jace Rasche Goes Behind the Scenes on his Coffee Shop + Coworking Business
Every coworking space has (hopefully great) coffee, but most spaces don't have a coffee business in their coworking space. This concept is becoming more popular as coworking spaces focus more on hospitality and integrating a food and beverage offering.
Jace is a Coworking Startup School™ alumnus so I got to be a part of his coworking journey and in this conversation, we get into the details and go behind-the-scenes on his coworking + coffee shop business model.

326. Best Of: Coworking Plans that Provide Access - How to Sell What Today’s Customer Wants
We originally aired this episode in 2022…and it has more relevance today than ever.
Pre-pandemic, we tried to avoid 10-day passes and custom plans. We wanted full-time memberships and operational simplicity. Well…today’s coworking space user has changed our tune.
In this episode, we talk about:
Looking at the 10 day pass as a “healthy” option for end users that needs to be sold in volume
Designing access packages for teams - how to give them the access they need and getting the recurring revenue and predictability that your business needs.
Testing meeting room access plans that build loyalty and recurring revenue
Leveraging meeting room demand

325. OG Scott Tillitt on Small-Town Coworking and Leveraging Coworking Ambassadors and Part-Time Community Activators
Scott Tillitt has a strong “why” around coworking. A PR/Communication Consultant by day, he also ran a not-for-profit supporting Localism and sees coworking as the intersection of community engagement, economic development, and supporting local. As a matter of fact, he’s not very worried about his coffee game because the mile-long main street Beahive is located on has no fewer than six local coffee shops.
Scott is a true coworking OG - he opened his first location in 2009 in Beacon, NY, a little over an hour out of NYC by train. Over the years he was a pioneer in experimenting with multiple locations and creative partnership agreements.
He shared his coworking journey, lessons learned in his fourteen years in business, and he also gave us a little BTS on his Coworking Ambassador program. Scott runs his primary location, but his second and third locations are staffed by responsible members, a very part-time Community Activator, and some Coworking Community Ambassadors.
If you’re trying to figure out how to manage staffing in smaller locations, you’ll get some good nuggets and perspective from Scott.

Customer Reviews
Business E Suites & Kefi Spaces
I listen every episode, sometimes twice! Excellent content!
Too centered on the host
This podcast would be more useful for me if the host did more planning ahead of time to structure it and keep it more focused, listened to her guests more and let them talk, and talked less about herself and her personal life. The sound quality is good and she does have good knowledge on the subject.
GREAT Content!
I've been listening to this podcast religiously for 3 years now. Love all of the insights from Jamie and her guests. If you are considering opening a coworking space, or are a manager of a coworking space, this podcast will provide a ton of very valuable information.
