COWORKING PODCAST 154
Angel Kwiatkowski, Founder of Cohere
Meet Angel Kwiatkowski, a true original in coworking and the unapologetic force behind Cohere in Fort Collins. For over 15 years, Angel has been quietly and sometimes loudly redefining what community actually means, ditching scale, rejecting sameness, and building a space where connection is not a feature, it is the whole point. From buying her building to designing “unscalable on purpose” communities, Angel proves that smaller, scrappier, and more human might just be the future.
Liz Elam, founder of GCUC and longtime champion of the coworking movement, jumps in for a candid, no-BS conversation that pulls no punches. Together, they go head-to-head on hospitality versus community, unpack the loneliness epidemic, and share hard-won lessons from building spaces that truly matter.
This episode is equal parts philosophy, practicality, and playful debate, covering everything from friendship as a KPI to why alcohol on tap might be the worst perk in coworking.
If you care about community, connection, and the future of work and are not afraid of a little friendly sparring, this one is for you.
