People need a space that they can go to make a conference or Skype call. It's important to create those spaces and create a company culture that supports those spaces.

I still want an entrepreneurial culture to exist forever.

I've seen how business can transform communities.

When you have your own business, you don't mind failing if it makes you better in the long run.

We're not competing against other people who have similar ideas but we're competing against ideas of work in general. There are still traditional office spaces that are not friendly to human beings that are not designed for connection and collaboration.

We had a bunch of ‘we's - a fitness concept, a restaurant concept. The first business plan we had included all of them."

When you go to a normal architecture firm they aren't going to be innovative in terms of their systems. They're not going to be thinking of the whole lifespan of this project, or how do we document every single light bulb, or every product, so that when a chair breaks in a conference room, we can replace it right away.

I often spend the majority of my time thinking and writing down notes.

To me, just to be surrounded by others, even without a common purpose, is great fulfillment.

Even companies with big resources were not creating spaces supportive of their teams. We see that in creating those types of spaces, there is an amazing human potential for excitement and happiness. Especially among companies trying to serve a younger, more innovative workforce.

Happiness, the feeling of positivity, really is the foundation of productivity.

Our mission is to support people in their life's path or career path, as they define it, and really, to help people succeed in whatever way they choose to. That's what we started from.
