Flex That Worx
Welcome to Flex That Worx, a podcast for anyone building, managing or growing a flexible workspace without making things more complicated than they need to be.
If you're running a single coworking space, juggling multiple locations, or overseeing a growing network of spaces across towns or cities, this is your space. It’s for the operators, managers, decision-makers, the people doing the work to make these places run.
