40. From Design to Hospitality: How Root Coworking is Thriving in Tulsa

Ben Von Drehle is the mastermind behind Tulsa's premier Coworking brand Root Coworking…although he gives most of the credit to his amazing community management team, including his wife, who is beloved for her sense of humor. Ben worked on an early WeWork deal as a tenant rep broker in Denver and couldn't stop thinking about how much he lived the business model. Under his leadership, Root Coworking has become a hub for innovation and collaboration in Tulsa. He's always looking for new ways to support and connect the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. In fact, he's kicking off a collaboration with a local coffee company to open Notion Market Cafe - a food and beverage concept that will allow members to order lattes and lunch at their desks.   Resources Mentioned on This Episode: Ben on LinkedIn Root Coworking   Connect with Giovanni on LinkedIn Find Jamie on the Everything Coworking Podcast
