Welcome to the first episode of this special series of interviews from Coworking Europe.
Recorded in Paris, host Caleb Parker speaks with Liz Elam, founder of GCUC, how coworking can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, and what it takes to build businesses that last.
Liz argues that operators need to focus on profitability and retention, not just community alone. She sees an opportunity for coworking spaces to support mental well-being, helping address loneliness and expand the ways spaces serve their members.
She also shares GCUC’s Access initiative, and it’s early momentum with coworking leaders.
