One of the biggest challenges of our time is addressing the loneliness that so many people feel, even in our increasingly connected world. For me, working toward reducing loneliness and improving mental health has become a life purpose, and I see hybrid hospitality as a path to make this impact real. The idea of community-focused spaces isn’t just about shared living; it’s about creating environments where people feel truly seen and supported. As one article from Artof.Co on Mental Health puts it, “In a world where people are more connected than ever before, feelings of isolation are at an all-time high.” This isolation is something we can actively counter by fostering community-centered spaces that give people a real sense of belonging and support. I believe hybrid hospitality spaces are uniquely positioned to do this, as they bring together people from all walks of life and create chances for meaningful, lasting connections. If you’re seeking a way to make an impact, consider where your passion meets a need in the world. For me, it’s working toward better mental health for all, and I’m excited to see what the future holds! What’s your life purpose? How are you working to bring it to life? --------- Uno de los mayores retos actuales es reducir la soledad que muchas personas sufren, incluso en un mundo cada vez más conectado. Para mí, trabajar en reducir la soledad y mejorar la salud mental se ha convertido en un propósito de vida, y veo en la hospitalidad híbrida una forma de hacer este impacto real. La idea de espacios enfocados en la comunidad no se trata solo de vivir juntos; se trata de crear entornos donde las personas se sientan realmente vistas y apoyadas. Como lo menciona Artof.Co en su estudio sobre Salud Mental, “en un mundo donde las personas están más conectadas que nunca, la soledad está en su punto más alto”. Esta soledad es algo que podemos combatir activamente creando espacios centrados en la comunidad que den a las personas un verdadero sentido de pertenencia y apoyo. Pienso que los espacios de hospitalidad híbrida están especialmente bien posicionados para lograr esto, ya que reúnen a personas de diferentes caminos y crean oportunidades para conexiones significativas y duraderas. Si estás buscando una forma de generar un impacto, considera dónde se cruza tu pasión con una necesidad en el mundo. Para mí, es trabajar por la salud mental de todos, y me emociona pensar en el futuro! ¿Cuál es tu propósito de vida? ¿Cómo estás trabajando para hacerlo realidad?

Mayank recently started the Coliving Innovators podcast and invited me to record one of the first episodes. And wow, I was blown away by the quality and authenticity of this conversation. There's something that Mayank does which is very different from other podcast hosts: he gives a lot of space to express your answers, shares his own perspectives in between, and keeps finding new subjects to explore while shedding light on old ones. In this conversation, I was able to share some new views that have shaped me in the last few years—such as what I believe is the right approach to building large-scale communities 🏡 and my thoughts on what is lacking in the coliving offering to truly make an impact 📈 Tune in (I like to listen at 1.25x speed) and would love to hear your thoughts on this episode!

“There are many non-tech human interventions that happen behind the scenes that are complex, difficult, and often underestimated, which makes this business as challenging as it is.” - Atticus LeBlanc, CEO of PadSplit I've had the chance to sit down with Atticus who founded PadSplit, a platform offering affordable and accessible coliving options across the United States. Since its founding in 2017, PadSplit has grown to over 10,000 units and has achieved profitability as a platform since the beginning of the year. The median income of PadSplit tenants is just under $30,000/year, highlighting PadSplit's commitment to providing housing solutions for low- to moderate-income workers who might otherwise not qualify for such housing. In this discussion, we dive into what PadSplit does, how the platform works, and explore crucial details like evictions and member ratings. As always, we wrap up with key insights for coliving founders looking to succeed in this space. Link to video in the comments 👇 We hope you find this conversation inspiring and insightful! If you have any suggestions for future guests, let us know in the comments below 🙂 Thanks again for coming on Atticus and for the great work you're doing - we need more solutions like yours! #coliving #colivingspace #colivingpodcast #colivingconversation #padsplit #sharedliving #affordableliving #colivingplatform #colivingbusiness #accessiblehousing

And a new episode is out, this time discussing how to scale profitable coliving spaces with Murray Clark from the Neighbourgood! Spotify 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRsDWcEB YouTube 👉 https://lnkd.in/dK9bPRGV Murray has been a inspiration for me for years. Over the last years, he's been able to build a self-funded company, operating 500+ beds, having one of the best experience and community centered designs, and continuously bringing his concept to new heights - now even by expanding to San Francisco and opening up social clubs. I hope you enjoyed this conversation. Feel free to message me with other people whose coliving entrepreneurial stories you'd like to hear! #coliving #colivingpodcast #colivingspace #colivingbusiness #artofcoliving #artofco Mayank Pokharna

We had the chance to talk to Brad Hargreaves and ask the question: what happened to Common? In our latest interview, Brad discusses the history and challenges of the coliving company and the reasons for its recent bankruptcy. Common started in 2015 to address housing affordability issues by building apartments designed for roommates. They focused on three, four, and five-bedroom units and worked with developers as property managers and designers. However, the company faced difficulties in generating profits from property management and design services. The COVID-19 pandemic and rising interest rates further impacted Common's business model. But that's not all. Tune it to the interview to understand why the US market is different than the European one, the real reason Common went bankrupt, and what could have been done differently. What is your stake on the whole situation? Let's discuss!
