“The four of us worked on the floor…umm…borrowing Wi-Fi from a neighbor while we waited for our broadband to be installed.”

Did I say noble? I of course meant humble.

I was curious to know if Indy Hall, a truly collaborative workspace, had collaboration at its roots.

“Its roots are all in collaboration. Some of us were working together before Indy Hall opened its doors, during our ‘Cream Cheese Sessions.’”

A statement I found to be a particularly nice way of saying “Duh.”

Having been coworking for nearly 3 years now I wanted to know if Bart could ever see himself working any other way.

“I couldn’t work in a traditional office or even an office share. That just doesn’t appeal to me. This space is very open and creative. I keep to myself most of the time but I’m aware of what the people around me are doing, it’s part of the deal.”

How about from a business perspective?

“We couldn’t do it any other way. Very early on we realized that this model works really well for us. It’s not the case for everyone but for us there’s really no other way.”

A statement I found to be a particularly nice way of saying “I’m not going anywhere.” We’re glad to hear it because we sure do like having Bart around.
