Work from Anywhere? Choosing Coworking i...

The Wall Street Journal
About this episode

The pandemic changed where a lot of Americans work. Many people have the option to work from home or the office, but a growing number of them are opting instead for coworking spaces. And those coworking options are changing too. We visit Third Place by Half Full Brewery in Stamford, CT, a brewery and bar that’s reinvented itself during the day for the working crowd. Then, we turn to coworking researcher and consultant Pete Bacevice for a look at what choosing these spaces says about the way we work today and what it means for the future of office life.
