Running a small business or creative venture often starts with passion. You have an idea, a skill, or a vision—and you dive in. But as you move from “I think this could work” to “I’m building something real,” there’s one question that becomes more and more important: WHAT’S THE PLAN?

A General History of Coworking: The Evolution of the Third Space

A General History of Coworking: The Evolution of the Third Space

Chances are, you know someone who works remotely, since nearly one-fifth of the workforce population has the option of entirely remote or hybrid work, and by 2025, this will rise to approximately 22%, about 32.6 million Americans. So where are they working from? You might assume that they’ve set up home offices and occasionally go to a coffee shop a few days a week, or the company’s headquarters if it’s required and nearby, and that is often the case. Many people, however, choose to work in a different setting that is designed for productivity when given the opportunity: coworking spaces.

Stoke Member Spotlight: Rob Curran

Stoke Member Spotlight: Rob Curran

Rob Curran is the kind of person who has never met a stranger. If you’re fortunate enough to be in the Stoke coworking space at the same time that he is, you’re going to have a good day. You might even walk over to La Estrella and get some amazing tacos and chat over lunch. That’s the kind of vibe we super appreciate here at Stoke, so when Rob is away for the summer, we all shed a collective tear and can’t wait for him to return in the fall to regale us with tales of his adventures, make us all laugh until we cry, and perhaps sing us a little ditty.

Learn more about what Rob does (he writes!) and about him in his own words.

Well-designed Workplaces Improve Work Performance

You probably spend the majority of your waking day at work, which means your environment affects not only the quality of your work, but also the quality of your life outside of it. The key to a healthy workstyle is changing postures throughout the day, and not sitting or standing for hours on end. You shouldn’t have to feel pain or discomfort to remind you to shift postures or to take a break from what you’re working on, but that’s often the case for people working in traditional offices.

When You Need A Temporary Office Or A Long-term Workspace

When You Need A Temporary Office Or A Long-term Workspace

Let’s face it: working remotely or from home can be challenging as much as it can be enjoyable. Sometimes the nature of your work (updating your client on project progress face-to-face, perhaps) requires you to step out and find a different space. Or, you’re a remote worker who has the freedom to travel and work from anywhere, which is great, until you need a place with impenetrably secure and reliable internet and zero distractions/noise to check in with your supervisor or team.
