Welcome to the Everything Coworking Podcast #29!

Today I spoke with Mike Lanni and Colin Bovet. Mike is Head of Key Accounts for Enplug and Colin is Head of Marketing at Enplug. We talk about the idea that workspace members are experiencing unprecedented levels of technology that connect, simplify and enhance their experience. They will expect this level of experience in a workspace. Enplug has a dummy-proof digital signage solution that puts IT guys out of business. We talk about trends they're seeing in the marketplace and what types of content workspaces communicate to build community.

Enjoy our conversation!

Welcome to the Everything Coworking Podcast Episode #20!

This week my guest is Hasan Mirjan, Founder of Spheremail and Spherepad. He started both about the same time. As he shares during the interview, he started Spherepad, a coworking space, in 2008 in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood and at the time, friends and family warned him of a low chance of success given the bad economy and an unproven location. So to hedge his bet, he started Spheremail, a virtual mail management platform, to diversify his revenue streams. It turns out that both ventures were successful. Spheremail is now being used by shared workspaces across the country and around the world.
