Work Awesome Small Business Podcast, Presented by OffiCenters

In August, OffiCenters celebrated Co-Working Month and the nearly 2000 members who make up our vibrant community.

Flexibility and access are at the heart of today’s co-working experience, giving professionals the freedom to work where, when, and how they need to.

We’re grateful to be part of the way work continues to evolve and even more grateful for the members who choose OffiCenters.

Lori Spiess is joined by Amanda Johnson, General Manager of OffiCenters, to wrap up CoWorking Month and share the results of the latest member survey.

From productivity and meaningful connections to flexibility, location, staff support, and bottom-line impact, the numbers show what OffiCenters members value most and why coworking has become much more than simply a place to work.

Branding is more than a logo. In this episode, Lori Spiess and Amy Lokken talk with Nathan Keech of Kreativ HQ about how a clear, consistent brand builds trust, where AI can help without replacing human creativity and judgment, and why genuine relationships still matter in growing a small business.
