Susan Dorsch, who co-founded Office Nomads, the longest running coworking space in Seattle, is a quiet giant of coworking (and a dear friend of mine).

I’m thrilled to have Susan as my first guest as the Coworking Out Loud Podcast relaunches as an interview show.

Listen in as we dive into how Susan’s Quaker roots inform her coworking philosophies, why she doesn’t call herself a community builder, and why small coworking spaces shouldn’t pay attention to what big box coworking is doing.
