#DaveCast 25: CoWork Spaces and Live Event Coverage
@AndreaCook
This week on the #DaveCast I skyped it up with @AndreaCook, owner of The Midas Center a co-work space in Plymouth, IN. Yes, Plymouth Indiana, a small town in north central Indiana of about 12,000 people, and they have a vibrant business solution of professional office space that could meet the needs of many of us who work remotely.
What is CoWork Space?
It is an emerging trend that is catching on more and more everyday across the United States and the globe in urban and rural locations.
A cowork space brings together likeminded professionals to a shared work space environment allowing for flexibility and cost-savings for an office while gaining the benefit of synergy from working side by side in a collaborative professional community. It’s perfect for small businesses and solopreneurs who are looking to stretch their marketing budgets and benefit from the social interactions found in a professional community
Some cowork spaces offer an open floor-plan with no walls. If you want improve communications with in your office, open up your area, tear down your walls and your people will start learning and thriving from each other.
The Midas Center offers a wide variety of amenities from:
The Midas Center
- Coffee bar
- Message center
- Gig board
- Super fast WiFi
- Whiteboards
- Green (environmentally friendly) environment
Live Event Coverage?
Another one of Andrea’s business offerings is live event coverage which covers trade shows or conferences. She tweets, live blogs in a way that brings additional attention to you, your company and your brand.
I have seen examples of her work and how it increases of traffic and attention paid to a conference or event that it might not have gotten otherwise. It frees up the event coordinator to focus on the event rather than jumping around on Twitter or other social platforms. It also gives them an extra set of eyes to help avoid any issues that may arise, but most of all the marketing efforts before, during and after are unbeatable.

A #90Dave update, I have maintained the last few weeks. My issue is night eating. I need to focus on my “Why”, but the Body by Vi system offers a great meal replacement drink. I just need to know when to say when at night.
Till next week – burn boats
