When I sat down with Jessie Hathcock from The Loading Dock, I couldn’t stop thinking about how rare her story is. She started as a community coordinator… and six and a half years later, she’s leading the entire company. We talked about: What it really looks like to grow up in the coworking industry (and why those career paths are finally becoming more common) How their co-warehousing model is opening doors for entrepreneurs you might not expect… including tradespeople and small businesses that need space to grow The messy, real behind-the-scenes of implementing EOS and building a healthy, aligned team (not as easy as it sounds) Why “unreasonable hospitality” isn’t just a philosophy for them… it’s a budget line item And how they’re creating a level of connection that leads to 82.5% of members reporting improved wellbeing One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how honest Jess is about the messy middle. Rapid growth. Team tension. Launching new initiatives before you’re fully ready. Learning (sometimes the hard way) how to lead at a higher level. And still choosing to build something that puts people first. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes to scale a coworking business without losing your culture… this episode is such a good one.
