The Human Moment: Coworking for your health

When it comes to leading a healthy and fulfilling life, it's not just about hitting the gym and eating your veggies. Studies have shown that community and connection play a vital role in our overall well-being, both mentally and physically.

Joining a coworking community can do wonders for your mental well-being by providing a space that fosters and strengthens social connections. It's not just about the physical amenities like a desk, coffee, and Wi-Fi, but rather the built-in network of individuals who can become your friends, support system, or even your future partner (we've seen it happen!).

Both Sides of the Table

The role of coworking in a startup community

A few weeks ago Mark Suster, startup founder and venture capitalist based in Los Angeles, wrote about a post about the components of an entrepreneurial community: How to Kick Start Your Community’s Startup Scene. It made the rounds in my social circles in particular for a shoutout to our friends at Dwolla.

I think and write a lot about this topic and was encouraged by Mark’s take. A few of the components he pointed out are particularly apropos as we’re working to establish Gravitate — an entrepreneurial center of gravity — here in the core of downtown Des Moines.
