    How to Choose the Best Coliving Space with Colivly.ai

    Send us a text When you're searching for your next coliving space, what matters most? Is it the beautiful facilities, the location, or something deeper? As seasoned co-living veterans with over a decade of combined experience, we've discovered that finding your tribe - people who share your values, interests, and energy - is what truly transforms a living space into a life-changing experience. In this revealing episode, we tackle the fundamental challenge facing digital nomads, remote workers, and coliving enthusiasts everywhere: how to find communities that match your vibe. We share our personal journeys through both vibrant, socially connected coliving spaces and beautifully designed yet soulless service apartments, highlighting the crucial difference between impressive architecture and genuine community feeling. The current search process for coliving spaces is broken. Most platforms force you to choose a location first, when what you're really looking for is a certain type of experience and community. Word-of-mouth recommendations are valuable but limited, unless you happen to know someone who's visited hundreds of different coliving spaces across Europe. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our solution: Colivly.ai with Otty, your personal guide to finding coliving spaces that truly align with your interests and lifestyle preferences. Whether you're a surfing enthusiast, yoga practitioner, entrepreneur, or creative, Otty helps you discover communities where you'll feel at home among kindred spirits. For coliving operators, this means connecting with residents who genuinely appreciate and contribute to your community values, rather than transient guests who might disrupt your carefully cultivated atmosphere. It's a win-win that strengthens the entire co-living ecosystem. Let's continue building this vibrant, intentional movement together. Because few things shape our lives more profoundly than where we live and who we live with.

    Impact Investing and Community Living: Turning Capital into Planet-Positive Change with Leehe Skuler

    Send us a text The divide between making money and making a difference is a false one – and Leehe Skuler has spent 15 years proving it. In this captivating conversation, we explore how impact investing is redirecting capital toward regenerative solutions that benefit people and planet simultaneously. Leehe Skuler takes us through her fascinating journey from environmental activism to pioneering impact investments across Africa, where she helped finance clean energy solutions for off-grid communities. Her work revealed a crucial insight: the barriers to funding regenerative enterprises aren't insurmountable – they're primarily psychological and structural. Through innovative approaches like offering bank managers observation roles and structuring funding arrangements, Leehe has successfully unlocked capital for ventures that transform lives while generating sustainable returns. "The paradigm that we were born into – that you have to choose between values or money – makes all of us feel uncomfortable," Leehe explains. "Even the most cynical, experienced person in finance doesn't like to admit they're putting their values aside to make money." She argues that this either/or mentality is actually a relatively recent concept, emerging primarily in the 1980s, rather than an economic law of nature. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Leehe shares her experience growing up in Israeli kibbutz communities, where resources are shared, decisions made collectively, and money plays a minimal role. These intentional community models have given her unique insights into the challenges and rewards of communal living – knowledge she now applies to the regenerative communities emerging in rural Portugal where she currently lives. Looking toward the future, Leehe envisions networks of diverse regenerative communities collaborating while maintaining their unique characters. As decision-making tools improve and more people seek meaningful connection, these new community models could transform our relationship with both the environment and each other.
