- [00:35] Even though Neil is a WeWork member, he prefers to sit and work in the lobbies of luxury hotels.
- [01:09] No one has ever kicked him out of the lobby nor asked if he was a guest.
- [01:20] Eric finds WeWork expensive and disappointing.
- [01:42] WeWork is great for freelancers looking for companionship.
- [02:11] Lobbies of luxury hotels provide networking opportunities.
- [02:30] Try it, because it’s a good experience and is better than a Starbucks.
- [02:50] Entrepreneurs are doing this all time (it’s their MO).
- [03:09] Look for hotels that are holding conferences that are relevant to you; work from the lobby and you will be much more likely to generate business.
- [03:45] That’s it for today!
- [03:47] Eric and Neil recommend the Problem Solvers podcast, because there is a great episode about the Hello Fresh CEO. To listen go to singlegrain.com/solve.
