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)
