The Flex Factor podcast: first episode just dropped!

Spacebring just dropped the new podcast called 'The Flex Factor,' hosted by Marc Navarro.
It's for anyone running a coworking space who wants to know what's actually working right now.

We're shaking things up for coworking operators with our new podcast, 'The Flex Factor,' in partnership with Marc Navarro. Forget the usual industry fluff; we're diving deep into the real challenges and opportunities you face, with strategies you can actually implement.

After the success of our 'Visionaries' series, produced with the London Coworking Assembly and the European Coworking Association, we knew we had to keep delivering content that matters. That's why we've teamed up with Marc, a consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience, to bring you a podcast that cuts straight to the point.

Honestly, I've been in this industry for years, and I know how frustrating it is to wade through all the jargon. With 'The Flex Factor,' Spacebring and I wanted to create something real. Something that feels like you're talking to a friend who gets it, and can give you actual, useful advice.

'The Flex Factor' isn't just another interview series. We're focusing on actionable insights, insider stories, and the kind of practical advice you won't find anywhere else. If you're looking to grow your space and navigate the ever-changing coworking landscape, this is your new go-to resource.

What you'll actually get from 'The Flex Factor'

We've structured 'The Flex Factor' into four areas that cut through the noise and get to what matters for you as a coworking operator. Here’s the breakdown:

Shaping the coworking industry: We're talking to the people who were there from the start. Not just about the past, but how it informs where we're going. You'll hear directly from the folks who shaped things, and get their take on what's next.
Where it all happens: We're not just looking at pretty pictures of spaces. We're getting into the nitty-gritty of what makes a space work—location, design, the vibe. We’re talking to the people on the ground, the operators and managers who make it happen day-to-day.
Coworking untold: This is where we get real about the stuff nobody likes to talk about. The market shifts, the tricky situations, the stuff you only find out when you're in it. We're having those conversations, so you don’t have to learn the hard way.
Coworking redefined: We’re looking ahead. What's changing? What's coming? New tech, new business models, the whole deal. If you want to stay ahead of the game, this is where we discuss it.

We're giving you the practical stuff—no fluff, just what you need to know to run your space better and grow faster.

First up: the story behind CWSC, straight from the founder

We're kicking things off with a conversation you won't want to miss. Our first guest is Manuel Zea, the guy who turned the Coworking Spain Conference (CWSC) from a simple idea into a major industry event.

The episode's called "How CWSC Turned a Dream into an Industry," and it's timed perfectly since CWSC is happening in Madrid this May. We figured, what better way to start than by talking to someone who's actually built something from the ground up? Manuel's got a unique perspective, and he's going to share how he navigated the challenges and turned his vision into reality.

When Marc asked me to be the first guest, I was genuinely touched. It's really cool to share the CWSC journey, because it was a wild ride, you know? And I hope, more than anything, that people listening feel like they're not alone in this, that we're all figuring it out together.

CWSC Founder

If you're heading to CWSC, this episode's a must-listen. It'll give you some serious context and maybe even a few insights you can apply to your own space. And even if you're not going, it's a great story about building something meaningful in our industry.

We're starting strong with a real-world example of how to make things happen in the coworking world.
