Hello, my name's John from Ireland, but resident in Berlin for quite some time now. I run coworking spaces and am interested in not only how I personally can help, but also in what ways my spaces can influence its coworkers to take steps to help us all to greater prosperity. I'm well aware of the dangers of businesses co-opting this movement, but I also believe it takes everyone, citizens, public and private sector to work together to make this more realistic. From that sense, I'm interested in looking at ways to reconcile the two without causing any harm to the movement itself. Happy to discuss this more with anyone, get in touch with me on LinkedIn.
