Who says you have to work in a cubicle where your ideas soon become as stale as the company coffee and your cube-mate likes to eat all-things-garlicky and then talk about how pathetic his love life is? If that sounds like your day at the office, Grind Spaces is a breath of fresh air.
What: "A members-only workspace and community dedicated to taking all of the frustrations of working the old way and pulverizing them to a dust so fine it actually oils the wheels of the machine."
Why: “Grind was built for free radicals who would rather work in a community than a company.”
You have a space that is open from 8 a.m. to midnight, you’re surrounded by interesting people (that you obviously have at least one thing in common with), and you’re immersed in a new work environment that is arguably not even a “work” environment at all. Thankfully for me, agency life can provide this same springboard for creativity (which is why advertising is so shiny), but I fear that some employees in other industries see their job as just a job rather than an opportunity to let loose and produce pretty things.
Of course this space isn't suitable for the masses, but how refreshing it would be for many souls to ditch the monotony of office life and hang out in a cool space with cool people, simultaneously producing clever, innovative ideas. Change your environment, change your life? Quite possibly so.
Lovely isms:
“If it ain’t broken, make it better anyway.”
“Love what you do or do something else.”
“Nobody’s ever won a rat race.”
