Hello everyone. I just posted a two-part blog series about the lessons we’ve learned at Cowork Frederick over the past 4 years. Wanted to share in case you find it useful and also would really welcome some feedback. Have you learned similar things? Think we’re crazy?

This is great, Julia. Thanks for sharing.

_“It took a while, but we finally figured out the coworking communities we envied started with people who wanted to work together, not people who wanted to be a member of a coworking space.”_

I’m so glad that this finally clicked 🙂
