Iris Kavanagh has about as much experience with coworking as anyone. Having helped build one of California's first chains of community-focused coworking spaces, she's since turned her focus to helping others build their communities.

She does this through her own personal consultancy and online content channel, Cowork With Iris (http://coworkingwithiris.co), as well as through the coworking association she runs, CoShare (http://coshare.co).

In this episode, we talk about the value of local alliances, what HR can learn from coworking, and why we're both excited for the upcoming GCUC Canada conference.
