Hi Guys,

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Patrick Keenan, and I work at
THE MOVEMENT. I work in Toronto at the Center for Social innovation,
but plan on working at many more places.

At THE MOVEMENT we are working on allowing individuals to act like
larger entities and form teams around meaningful projects under a
shared brand. You can find out more here, http://www.themovement.info

But the reason I'm posting is because I recently did interviews with a
number of shared spaces and wanted to share the podcast. Included are
Co-Lab in Tokyo, Workspace in Vancouver, Office Nomads in Seattle,
Citizen Space in San Francisco, Center for Social Innovation in
Toronto, and The Hub in London.

You can get the podcast here:

I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave comments on the blog.

–Pat

Hi Pat, really interesting podcasts. You really get a sense of how
people have different setups but they all really foster the co-working
spirit. Thanks.
Roger

Patrick,

Very KCRW feel (station in Los Angeles). Nicely done. Can't decide
whether I would have liked you to interject with context setting, or
it's more powerful splicing everyone's mini descriptions of their
space. Either way, once again it adds to the buzz of the movement,
proving not only its effectiveness, but it's inevitability.

Cheers,

Hey Pat,

We're trying to do a similar thing at Conjunctured.

You mentioned "At THE MOVEMENT we are working on allowing individuals
to act like larger entities and form teams around meaningful projects
under a shared brand."

"Conjunctured is a member-based community in Austin of free agents who
collaborate under a common brand while maintaining their autonomy."

I think we may be having the same thought! :)

We had a Google Group going about the particulars of the agency side
of Conjunctured at http://groups.google.com/group/co-company. It's
been pretty dormant since we finally opened up our coworking space.
Would love to collaborate with you guys though.

Cool podcast!

Dusty

Dusty,

I'm Alan Smith, co-founder of The Movement with Patrick. I'm throwing
your name and conjunctured on our list of partner groups to work with
once we've got a little more of the bones of this thing in place.

It looks like we've got WAY too much in common, but a few key
differences which is always nice.

You'll be hearing from us, and if not, ping me on twitter!
@thinksmith (patrick is @interfaced) and the conversation around The
Movement is #thmvmnt .

-Alan
