Just over half a decade ago, I was convinced to try a novel office setup. The building where we were headquartered had to undergo some serious construction and we were forced to move out for a few months. I liked our main offices and didn’t want to invest the capital to rent a large, temporary new space, which I would have had to lease for an extended period of time. Instead, I was looking for something to hold us over until we could move back into our own, comfortable office space. Luckily, I had a friend who told me about a new coworking space that brought all types of businesses together. At this point, no one had heard of WeWork (Regus had been around for decades, but was so expensive at the time). I was hesitant at first, but the prices were unbeatable. I agreed to give WeWork a shot despite my skepticism. Once I got into the office, I knew that I was experiencing the future of the workplace and I have never looked back. Beer pong on Fridays, a meditation room? I felt a little bit like I had gone to work for Google.
