The CEO Of Breather On The Future Of Office Space
Today, I welcome Julien Smith, cofounder and CEO of Breather, to discuss the factors that are disrupting the idea of traditional office spaces. Julien and I explore how trends, pricing, real estate and technology are shaping the evolution of physical work places. Julien authored three books on marketing while working from the Internet without an office for about 10 years. As a freelancer with no place to go for work every day, he saw the potential for a totally separate, individualized work space that can be unlocked with your phone.
Breather was born… a network of well designed, comfortable, but professional, small meeting rooms and office spaces. Now there are 100 units across five cities. These units generally reside in larger office buildings and can be rented daily, weekly or just once! They serve as an effective space to be on your own or meet with a small group to brainstorm, rehearse, etc. Many people use Breather spaces when they are traveling or need the use of an outside office. Some users don’t have an office at all and prefer Breather spaces to working from home or from a coffee shop.
With so many aspects of work rapidly changing, spaces must evolve as well. Physical space has a dramatic effect on employee experience. In this podcast, Julien and I discuss why the demand for this type of office space is increasing and how it will complement traditional work spaces, making experiences better.
