Re: [Coworking] Remote Worker List

[Crystal Maynard]

Brad -- I love this idea!!! I have not heard of such a data base, BUT what
I was thinking a "hack" might be, to go to indeed or glassdoor enter the
radius of 200 miles or whatever, and use the term remote in the keyword
search!! That at least might give you a place to start!!

Thank you for sharing the idea though!!

Kindly, Crystal

Re: [Coworking] Layout advice & maybe a word of encouragement...

[Crystal Maynard]

If they aren't committed, then it's good they are out now!! But, clearly
you shine in and under pressure!!! I don't have any good things to add
other than it sounds like you have a lot figured out and are headed in a
great direction!
