Roland Stanley is the Founder of Dragon Coworking. Like many of us, he found coworking somewhat accidentally as he prepared to exit from owning and managing a hotel.

In this episode, Roland shares the story of how he turned some extra space in the hotel into a coworking space, filled it up, retained his members during COVID, expanded his physical space in December of 2020, AND started to monetize a virtual networking event that had once been a successful, but time-consuming physical event serving Roland’s surrounding communities.

In this episode we talk about:
Roland’s “coworking story”
How his product mix serves his community (and pays the bills!)
What processes Roland has in place to allow him to run it on his own
How he transitioned a successful physical networking event into a paid, virtual membership during COVID
How he expanded his physical space and pre-sold his twelve new offices during the pandemic
