Covid-19 Community support
In partnership with the City of Denton, Denton Chamber of Commerce, and Denton Main Street Association, Stoke is working to provide our members and community with resources, reliable information, and contacts where we’re able.
On this page, we’ll share virtual events and programming that Stoke hosts to help our community of businesses and workers with the effects of current events and curated lists of resources from our partners as well.
Stoke Blogs
We’ve updated some of our previously published blogs and written a few new ones to try and help in these trying times.
BUILDING COMPANY CULTURE WHILE SHIFTING TO REMOTE WORK
We’re exploring how to develop and engage in a supportive company culture for the future of work and to strengthen teams in distributed workforces. We sat down for a talk with Ryan Plauche, Software Engineer with satellite software startup Kubos, who worked remotely from Stoke but had to transition to working from home during Texas’ stay at home order.
SIDE GIGS & SEASONS OF SACRIFICE
We chatted with Juli James, the cofounder of two ed tech companies, Playable Media and Wildcards, and professor at UNT in the Mayborn School of Journalism teaching game design, digital media, and digital design + journalism.
She shared with us a few things to identify and implement for our wellbeing as we live the hustle.
