Everyone has their go-to words that make our conversations easier. In most industries, businesses will develop acronyms and abbreviations to make even conversations more efficient, cause you know, capitalism. But this is more a post about some fun words that we've been using around Experience House than it is a piece against economic theories.
What happens when leaders in experience design–facilitators, event producers, technologists, musicians, and more– unite under one roof? 2 weeks in, we're starting to find out. So far, Experience House is off to great start. Needless to say, the group we've assembled has fallen into a groove that's collaborative, supportive, inspiring, and overall full of love.
For those new to the remote work life, you may have discovered some common challenges while adapting to a new office set up.

As we witness the global influence of Covid-19, it’s becoming clear that the world after the pandemic will be radically different from the one we knew before. This disease, without a vaccine, may never completely go away. and industries like hospitality, entertainment, education and transportation will have to rethink their models in order to survive. So where do cospaces come in? Though these spaces solve some of our larger affordable housing concerns and are combatting the loneliness epidemic, is there a larger need to rethink urban development after Covid-19? We believe so.
We all reach that point in our lives where running away to a tropical island or mountain side cabin seems like the only escape from the mundane. Whether it's from overworking, burnout, or simply looking to find a new perspective on life, taking a sabbatical is never a bad idea.
