How Glen Hicks Built a Self-Serve Coworking Space (and Runs It From 3 Hours Away)","description":"What if you built a coworking space\u2026 designed so you barely had to be there? That\u2019s exactly what Glen Hicks did. After 27 years in IT leadership and a life-changing heart attack at 34, Glen completely rethought how he worked. Instead of jumping into another executive role, he became what he calls a \u201cdigital independent.\u201d But he couldn\u2019t find a workspace that actually fit the way he wanted to work. So he built USTATION \u2014 a beautifully designed, mostly self-serve workspace in New Brunswick that runs with almost no staff (and Glen lives three hours away). In this episode we talk about: How he runs a 3,500 sq ft coworking space with almost no on-site staff Why smaller spaces can actually create better community The simple tech setup that avoids the dreaded 5-minute meeting room startup Why he installed a private work pod in an airport Glen is thoughtful, unconventional, and very intentional about how he spends his time (he works about 20 hours a week now). If you\u2019re thinking about building a simpler, smarter coworking model \u2014 you\u2019ll enjoy this conversation.
