Thoughts on a Hulu exclusive documentary about a coworking office space company called, WeWork.

Business movie, WeWork: Or the making and breaking of a $47 billion unicorn.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Got to talk a little bit about this movie that can only be found currently on Hulu. Hopefully, they'll open it up a little bit after that, so that other people can see it. But if you have Hulu, you have the chance to be able to watch it at least for now.

Good documentary, interesting documentary, there's pieces of it I like, pieces of it I don't, I'm not going to completely ruin the idea for you wework is still functional company.

It is a company that is built off of coworking and what coworking is if you're not familiar with it, is you can purchase in some way the ability to be able to use a certain space for an office space.

So you can use the Wi Fi that's available the internet, you can use everything else that the office has contained in it. And in some cases, on at least at the very lower ends, you can share a room with multiple other people, like you're at a coffee shop or something and be able to sit there and do whatever you need to do and but also, the thing about wework is they encourage you to be able to talk with the other people around you.

And they made everything very fancy. And they made everything very modern and comfortable. Trying to shirk away the whole idea of a corporate office space and making it more social, making it more about the relationship, which I'm always been interested in, I've actually always been interested in the coworking concept.

Because unlike a lot of entrepreneurs, there's a lot within like the direct marketing space, that really poopoo any type of working out of a cafe, I like working out of a cafe.

I'm a social creature, I like being around people.

I don't love people, but I like being around it. I like the energy that happens in a in an active cafe and being able to sit there if I don't have stuff that I have to do recording of or I don't have to do any type of meetings, then I would love to be able to do a lot of my work out of a cafe or out of a social arena.

So the concept of we work has always interested me, although I've never taken the dive with any of these companies that offer coworking spaces I've attempted to a few times but never fully gone with it. I love the idea of being able to rent low term office space so that you don't have to have it that whole time being able to split the amount that you can.

You need to spend it's a great idea and it goes along with the third pillar at BrianJPombo.com, which is being relationship reliant, relationship reliant.

All of business is relationship reliant, because all a business has to do with people, and has to do with knowing the right people and having the right people know you. So that's where that all comes in.

So I love the concept that the business was built off of now it's built off of a very charismatic character, and that's what this movie is about.

It really the movie does its best, I'm not going to ruin it too much for you. But it does its best right off the bat to attempt to paint this person as a villain. And while there were definitely miss major missteps made with this business, which is a great.

The thing I love about this movie, or this the at least the story behind the movie is that it's one of those that you want to sit with other b...
