Listen "#364 - How a Loud Neighbor Pushed Us to Get Our Own Office"
Episode Synopsis
I share my journey from working at home to trying co-working spaces, and then renting my own office. I talk about challenges like noise and limited hours that made me and my co-founder look for a better fit. Now, with our own office, we have more freedom, flexibility, and the chance to build a community of indie makers. If you’re bootstrapping your business, you’ll relate to my honest take on finding the right work environment.twitter: https://x.com/wbetiagolinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiago-ferreira-48562095/Timestamps by PodSqueezeIntroduction and Episode Overview (00:00:00) Podcast Promotion and Audience Engagement (00:01:32) Early Work-from-Home Experience (00:02:56) Searching for a Co-working Space (00:04:20) Joining and Adjusting to the Co-working Space (00:05:33) Benefits of the Co-working Space (00:06:46) Community and Social Aspects (00:08:01) Emerging Issues: Limited Access Hours (00:09:15) Recording and Meeting Space Limitations (00:10:25) Major Issue: Noise and Lack of Control (00:11:40) Attempts to Resolve Noise Issue (00:12:43) Frustration with Management and Decision to Leave (00:13:52) Office Space Search and Comparisons (00:18:09) Finding the Ideal Office Space (00:20:30) Finalizing the Office Decision (00:21:46) Advantages and Vision for the New Office (00:23:54) Potential Downsides and Reflections (00:25:16) Capitalism and Having Options (00:26:23) Interaction with Co-working CEO (00:27:15) Preparing to Leave and Final Thoughts (00:28:10) Office Market Comparison and Future Plans (00:29:14) Community Building and Episode Wrap-up (00:30:23)
