432. How One Coworking Operator Turned Event Space Into a Second Revenue Engine

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:00:36

What happens when a coworking operator refuses to think small?

Gina Schreck has built far more than a coworking space. Over the years, she's transformed The Village from a 10,000-square-foot workspace into a 50,000-square-foot destination that combines coworking, wellness, events, and community under one roof.

In this conversation, Gina shares the story behind that growth, the risks that came with it, and the mindset that's helped her create one of the most unique coworking spaces in the industry.

In this episode, we cover:

How Gina expanded from 10,000 to 50,000 square feet—and why she nearly walked away from the opportunity
The unexpected role her daughter played in managing the expansion
Why event space has become an important part of her business model
How her podcast studio supports her community
What it takes to build a space that's more than just a place to work
How she thinks about hospitality, community, and creating an experience members want to come back to
Why understanding your ideal member shapes every decision she makes

Whether you're thinking about expanding your space, adding new revenue streams, or strengthening your community, Gina offers an honest look at what's worked, what hasn't, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

431. How to Maximize Meeting Room Revenue in Your Coworking Space

mercredi 22 juillet 2026 • Durée 45:04

What if your coworking website could become one of your biggest revenue drivers?

That's exactly what Eyal Lasker, Founder and CEO of Flexspace AI, is helping operators do.

While many operators focus almost entirely on filling offices, Eyal believes one of the biggest opportunities for growth is optimizing everything else: meeting rooms, day passes, event space, virtual mail, and other on-demand products.

In this episode, we explore why treating your website like an e-commerce platform—not just an online brochure—can dramatically increase both revenue and profitability.

We talk about:

Why meeting rooms are one of the most underutilized assets in coworking
How online booking removes friction and creates new revenue opportunities
Why great photography has a direct impact on conversion rates
The surprising booking patterns operators are missing, including how many reservations happen the same day
How dynamic pricing can increase revenue by balancing price and booking volume
Why repeat on-demand customers become some of the highest-value users over time
The role AI is playing in revenue optimization and pricing decisions
Why operators should think about their websites as e-commerce engines instead of digital brochures

One insight that really stood out: "Simplicity is hard to build, but it's what drives conversion."

The easier you make it for someone to discover, book, and pay online, the more opportunities you create to monetize the space you already have.

422. How This Coworking Space Cut Days on Market From 140 to Under 30

mercredi 29 avril 2026 • Durée 50:05

Most people don't start their coworking career thinking they'll become president of the company.

Jessie Hathcock did.

When I sat down with Jessie Hathcock from The Loading Dock, I couldn't stop thinking about how rare her story is. She started as a community coordinator… and six and a half years later, she's leading the entire company.

We talked about:

What it really looks like to grow up in the coworking industry (and why those career paths are finally becoming more common)
How their co-warehousing model is opening doors for entrepreneurs you might not expect… including tradespeople and small businesses that need space to grow
The messy, real behind-the-scenes of implementing EOS and building a healthy, aligned team (not as easy as it sounds)
Why "unreasonable hospitality" isn't just a philosophy for them… it's a budget line item
And how they're creating a level of connection that leads to 82.5% of members reporting improved wellbeing

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how honest Jess is about the messy middle.

Rapid growth. Team tension. Launching new initiatives before you're fully ready. Learning (sometimes the hard way) how to lead at a higher level.

And still choosing to build something that puts people first.

If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to scale a coworking business without losing your culture… this episode is such a good one.

421. The Lead Follow Up System Every Coworking Space Needs to Fill Faster

mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 37:37

You don't have a lead problem. You have a follow-up problem.

Leads are coming in. Marketing is working. But deals aren't closing at the rate they should be and the issue is almost always the system behind the leads.

In this solo episode, Jamie breaks down where coworking sales funnels tend to fall apart and how to fix them.

You'll learn:

Why leads get stuck in your CRM and never convert
Where follow-up typically breaks down (especially mid-funnel)
How inconsistent systems cost you real revenue
The four essentials for optimizing your sales process

If your "needs follow up" column is overflowing or you feel like you should be closing more deals with the leads you already have, this episode will give you a clear path forward.

420. How One Coworking Space Hit an 80% Tour Show Rate (And the Tech Behind It)

mercredi 15 avril 2026 • Durée 51:29

What happens when a coworking operator gets completely fed up with their tech stack… and decides to build their own solution?

That's exactly what Dan Wesson and Chelle Peterson did.

Dan and Chelle are the co-founders of The Post Workspace and CoLevel, and I've known them since they went through Coworking Startup School back in 2018. It has been so fun to watch their journey from launching their space in Tucson to building a platform that's now helping operators all over the world.

They didn't set out to create software. They just wanted to run a better coworking space.

But after juggling Calendly, DocuSign, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, social schedulers, answering services… and still missing leads, still feeling overwhelmed, still wondering what was falling through the cracks… they hit a breaking point.

So they fixed it.

We talk about:

– What they were actually dealing with behind the scenes before building CoLevel
– The moment they realized their tech stack was holding them back
– Why speed to lead is one of the biggest missed opportunities in coworking
– How automation can increase hospitality (not replace it)
– What it looks like to compete with larger operators without a big team

If you've ever felt like your tech stack is running you instead of the other way around… this one will hit home.

419. How to Use AI in Your Coworking Space Without Losing the Human Touch

mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 53:38

What if AI didn't replace your community manager… but actually made them better at their job?

That's exactly what Courtney Schwartz is doing at FireWorks Coworking—and it's such a refreshing take on a topic that can feel overwhelming (or even a little threatening) in our industry.

Courtney is deeply passionate about people, community, and creating meaningful connections. And instead of letting AI take over, she's using it to take admin work off her plate so she can spend more time doing what actually matters inside her space.

In this episode, we cover:

How Courtney uses AI to streamline time-consuming tasks like blog writing and content repurposing
Why "garbage in, garbage out" is the reality of AI—and how to get better outputs
How indie operators can use AI for local SEO and even demographic research
The role of AI in helping you identify and reach your ideal member
Why community managers who embrace AI will have a huge advantage
How to use AI as an extension of your voice, not a replacement

I've had the chance to work with the FireWorks team through Coworking Startup School and Community Manager University, and Courtney is such a great example of what happens when you invest in your people and give them space to grow.

She's curious, driven, and clearly all-in on her community—and this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can actually use.

418. Yardi's Peter Kolaczynski shares Coworking Growth Data Drivers

mercredi 18 mars 2026 • Durée 37:09

Most people don't spend 13 years quietly building one of the most comprehensive datasets in commercial real estate.

But that's exactly what Peter Kolaczynski has been doing at Yardi.

In this episode, Jamie sits down with Peter Kolaczynski, Associate Director of Yardi, to unpack what's really happening beneath the surface of the coworking and office markets.

And this one gets… data-heavy in the best way.

We get into:

Why coworking is still only ~2.3% of total office space—and why that number could 5x
How Yardi tracks over 80,000 office buildings and what that unlocks for the industry
The surprising reality of physical office occupancy (hint: it's still under 60%)
Why enterprise demand for flexible space keeps growing despite return-to-office pressure
How AI could reshape not just coworking—but total office demand

One of the most interesting takeaways: even if office demand shrinks overall, coworking may expand. Why? Because uncertainty drives flexibility—and flexibility is exactly what coworking offers.

We also get into:

Office-to-residential conversions.
Why "downtown" may matter less than ever.
The rise of smaller, hyper-local office hubs.
And why building owners—not just operators—may drive the next wave of growth.

If you care about where the office market is actually heading (not just headlines), this is a must-listen.

417. How Glen Hicks Built a Self-Serve Coworking Space (and Runs It From 3 Hours Away)

mercredi 11 mars 2026 • Durée 01:00:44

What if you built a coworking space… designed so you barely had to be there?

That's exactly what Glen Hicks did.

After 27 years in IT leadership and a life-changing heart attack at 34, Glen completely rethought how he worked. Instead of jumping into another executive role, he became what he calls a "digital independent."

But he couldn't find a workspace that actually fit the way he wanted to work.

So he built USTATION — a beautifully designed, mostly self-serve workspace in New Brunswick that runs with almost no staff (and Glen lives three hours away).

In this episode we talk about:

How he runs a 3,500 sq ft coworking space with almost no on-site staff
Why smaller spaces can actually create better community
The simple tech setup that avoids the dreaded 5-minute meeting room startup
Why he installed a private work pod in an airport

Glen is thoughtful, unconventional, and very intentional about how he spends his time (he works about 20 hours a week now).

If you're thinking about building a simpler, smarter coworking model — you'll enjoy this conversation.

416. Flexibility with Boundaries: Nicole Antolino on the Real Role of a Community Manager

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 59:29

What if the secret to running a thriving coworking space isn't fancy software or a massive team… but one incredibly grounded, genuinely caring community manager?

I finally got to sit down with Nicole Antolino, Community Manager at Fireworks Coworking in Marietta, Georgia and this conversation was long overdue.

Nicole has been part of our Community Manager University program since 2022 and I've watched her grow into one of those rare unicorn operators who can truly do it all. She talked about the real balancing act of this role. When to extend flexibility and when to hold the line. How to juggle task lists with real human connection. What it's like to be a working mom running a space. And why she believes customer service experience matters more than industry background when hiring.

We also dig into:

Why 30 percent meeting room utilization might actually be normal
How she and her teammate divide and conquer to grow the business
The evolution of Fireworks' ideal customer profile
What it really takes to stay energized in this role year after year

If you're an owner wondering what makes a great community manager, or you are a community manager trying to figure out how to build longevity in this career, this one is for you.

415. 6 Things Coworking Space Owners Are Underspending On

mercredi 25 février 2026 • Durée 49:44

What's worse than overspending on things that don't deliver ROI? Underinvesting in the areas that actually make or break your business. This week, Jamie flips last week's episode on its head and tackles the critical areas where coworking operators consistently underspend—and pay the price in lost revenue, lower margins, and frustrated members.

From soundproofing decisions during construction to the size of your private offices, Jamie breaks down the build-out choices that seem expensive upfront but deliver massive ROI over time. She explains why an 80-square-foot office will always outperform a 120-square-foot one when you're trying to hit $70 per square foot in revenue, and why phone booths aren't optional—they're essential to selling flex memberships.

This episode is packed with specific, actionable advice on where to invest, how to evaluate ROI, and what trade-offs to consider based on your market, lease term, and access to capital.

We talk about:

Why soundproofing should be built into construction from day one (and what to do if you're already open)
How small private offices (80 sq ft vs 120 sq ft) dramatically impact your revenue per square foot
Why phone booths are essential for selling flex memberships—and how to finance them if budget is tight
The critical importance of professional photography for meeting rooms and day offices (users buy visually online)
Why SEO is a must-have investment alongside paid ads—and how AI search is changing the game
How to use a CRM to track every lead and achieve "radical responsiveness" in 2026
The three audits every operator should run quarterly: customer journey, sales funnel, and competitive market
Why investing in your team's training and your own professional development always delivers ROI

If you're trying to figure out where to allocate budget, what's worth the investment, and how to avoid the costly mistake of underspending in critical areas—this episode is essential listening.
