Raise Your Hand & Speak Up. In Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers he talks about an Asian airline pilot who allowed a plan to crash out of fear of speaking up to his superiors. Again, this is a drastic analogy, but I see this daily in my office. Employees are sometimes scared to speak up and ask questions to managers, managers are afraid to speak up to C-Level executives and ask questions. I had a flight chief that use to start meetings by asking “who is the dumbest person in the room?” His… Show more

Raise Your Hand & Speak Up. In Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers he talks about an Asian airline pilot who allowed a plan to crash out of fear of speaking up to his superiors. Again, this is a drastic analogy, but I see this daily in my office. Employees are sometimes scared to speak up and ask questions to managers, managers are afraid to speak up to C-Level executives and ask questions. I had a flight chief that use to start meetings by asking “who is the dumbest person in the room?” His question wasn’t meant to embarrass you, but it was meant to understand who shouldn’t be working on life and death missions, aircraft or machinery. People would raise their hand and say “I’ve never worked on that system before,” and then would be paired with the most knowledgeable vs left to go on their own and do more harm than good. Show less

When you speak to many entrepreneurs regarding how they got their start or what their "lightbulb" moments were in their early careers, chances are you won’t hear "bagging sand" often as an answer. For me, it was this experience in the military that gave me a clear vision of where I wanted to take my career and provided me the motivation to make that vision a reality.

When you speak to many entrepreneurs regarding how they got their start or what their "lightbulb" moments were in their early careers, chances are you won’t hear "bagging sand" often as an answer. For me, it was this experience in the military that gave me a clear vision of where I wanted to take my career and provided me the motivation to make that vision a reality.

I decided to join the military when I was 17 years old, at which time the service seemed like my only option. I grew up in a rough area of New York as the youngest of nine children and the son of a hardworking father with three jobs. My father saw the effects public school had on my older siblings, and I was fortunate he was able to enroll me in private Catholic school. Even with this privilege, I still saw the impact my community had on my peers, often witnessing shootings and gang violence -- sometimes even directly impacting my family. Show less

Meeting the demand for coworking spaces is heating up and this young veteran entrepreneur is just getting started
Working from home may sound appealing to the countless people that have been working in their offices and cubicles for years, however it can be isolating. Entrepreneurs are also noticing higher real estate costs which are leading professionals and investors to Venture X. Coworking spaces are giving people another option as they work to make their businesses more effective and efficient. Coworking is going to be the hub, driving the spokes of the entrepreneurial world over the next decade.

As the President of Venture X, I oversee all aspects of the growth and development of this dynamic business. I believe coworking in its essence is the future of the world’s shared economy.

It’s clear that this industry is at the forefront of a transformation in how the world views working spaces and real estate. By 2020, The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates 65 million Americans will be freelancers, independent contractors, temps, or entrepreneurs. At the beginning of each morning, 40 percent of America’s workforce could be walking into coworking spaces to do their business rather than walking into a home office or café. Venture X is primed to be the top player in the industry because of the multiple factors driving growth in the coworking industry. Show less
