A special collaboration with GCUC

“People deserve to have a community, it is critical for our society” - Liz Elam

Liz Elam, Executive Producer and Founder of GCUC, joins Bold founder Caleb Parker to kickoff Season 8 of the #WorkBold Podcast with a COLLAB for episode 1. The tag team discuss what the future holds for Space-as-a-Service and how the pandemic has accelerated the success of GCUC, the largest coworking and flexible workspace conference network in the world.

 

In this episode Caleb and Liz discuss the five pillars of Space-as-a-Service and the importance of focusing on the needs of customers when creating a coworking space. Caleb and Liz talk about the significance of brand on customer’s buying habits and how the valuation methodology in real estate needs to change so it can accommodate the demand for growth.

Value Bombs:

We need to put people at the centre of the universe in commercial real estate - Caleb

You’ve got to have fun and you’ve got to push the boundaries, that is what you can expect from GCUC - Liz

In our research we found that coworking networks are a top source for getting work. So our tagline for coworking is, “it's just not where you work, it's where you find work” - Liz

I think the real estate world has had a great awakening, they've figured out that what they've always done is no longer going to work - Liz

If we change the valuation methodology in real estate then we can accommodate more coworking, more flexibility and happier people - Liz
