What happens when a coworking operator stops thinking like a coworking operator… and starts thinking like a hospitality brand?

That's exactly what Uri Isken and Gabriel Isken are building at HIT.

And honestly, this conversation completely expanded my perspective on what enterprise flex space can become.

HIT now operates 13 locations across Argentina, Chile, and Brazil with 94% occupancy, serving major enterprise clients like Google, Accenture, TikTok, and L'Oréal.

But what really stood out to me is that coworking is only part of the story.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How HIT generates 30% of its revenue from wellness, events, and food & beverage
• Why enterprise clients increasingly want one trusted operator to handle everything
• How they turned rooftops and common areas into profitable event venues
• Why Argentina's changing business climate is fueling demand for premium flex space
• What it takes to serve large enterprise clients across multiple countries
• How they transformed a historic horse carriage garage into one of the coolest flex spaces I've seen

One of my favorite moments in the episode was hearing how Gabriel joined HIT at 19 years old as the company's very first employee working the front desk… and eventually became partner as the company scaled across LATAM.

If you're thinking about the future of enterprise flex space, hospitality-driven operations, or how coworking operators can create entirely new revenue streams… this episode is packed with ideas.

What if the future of housing looks a lot more like coworking?

We had the chance to sit down with Chris Moeller, founder of Pathway Communities, right after his GCUC keynote… and this conversation really stuck with me. Chris spent 20 years in commercial real estate before stepping away to build something entirely new.

And what he's working on now feels like a natural extension of where our industry is headed. He calls it "stable living."

It's not just housing. It's a rethink of the system behind it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why "we didn't break housing… the system did"
• How coworking principles can translate directly into residential living
• What happens when you design for connection instead of isolation
• Why ownership models need to evolve so people can actually build equity
• How a real-life disaster reshaped his entire perspective on community and infrastructure

What I love about this conversation is that it pushes us to zoom out. We spend so much time in coworking talking about desks, pricing, and occupancy…

But Chris is thinking about something bigger. How do we create places where people actually want to live and work? And what can our industry learn from that?

If you're thinking about where coworking goes next… this one will expand your perspective.

What percentage of your market is actually flexible office space… and does that number even matter?

I loved this conversation with Jim Groves, founder of Rubberdesk, because he completely reframed how we think about supply, demand, and what tenants actually see when they're searching for space.

Jim built Rubberdesk around one core idea: transparency. Not just more data, but better, usable data that helps tenants actually make decisions and helps operators understand what's really happening in the market.

We also dig into:

• Why lack of transparency leads to poor pricing and bad customer experiences
• How AI is transforming brokerage, from instant shortlists to real-time market insights
• The massive diversity in today's coworking product… from bare-bones offices to spaces with saunas, ice baths, and golf simulators
• Why brokers need better tools (and how Rubberdesk is building them)
• What the future of flex looks like in an uncertain economic environment

If you're trying to understand where flex is really headed… or how to position your space in an increasingly competitive and diverse market… this one is worth your time.
