@bhargreaves Glad the VC induced zeitgeist is behind us- the companies you named burned through billions b/c their primary customer has been the public capital markets- it’s harder to deliver value to members, asset owners and investors- while growing profitably like us.

@NewsforKelly @PawleysIslandPD According to city council meeting Island this morning will be closed south of Hazard Street to allow DOT to clear 3-4ft of sand in places and debris on roads. No power yet as of 8:45 on south end according to residents.

A policy of workplace flexibility provides more equal access and equity both of which promote workforce diversity. As a Latino CEO, I am particularly attuned to the value of drawing a workforce from new networks, cultural backgrounds, and perspectives. https://t.co/5d4yavrB7E

Transferable subscriptions for safe, private workspace- close to home but not #WFH. @serendipitylabs #coworking is leading the way. https://t.co/nSPa3rpG2V

[John P. Arenas @johnparenas]

@eliotwb Dense, communally-based coworking operators, yes -but most coworking has density like traditional corporate facilities. @SerendipityLabs is experiencing demand from urban flight to our suburban locations as teams split up & work close to home but not #WFH avoid commutes.
