If your goal is to create a coworking space that’s profitable,
purposeful, and packed with community-driven energy, this episode
is required listening.
This week, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes of Flex
Uncensored: our conversation with Gina Schreck, founder of The
Village Work, Wellness & Event Center in the Denver suburbs. The
lessons in this episode are just as relevant today as when it first
aired. Sometimes the best ideas aren’t new ones—they’re the ones
worth hearing again.
In this episode, we cover:
- How Gina expanded from 10K to 50K square feet—and why she nearly walked away from the opportunity
- The surprising role her daughter played in managing the expansion project
- What makes her podcast studio actually get used (and how it supports her community)
- How events became a major revenue driver, from business gatherings to weddings and church services
- Why hospitality is at the center of everything she does—and how that philosophy impacts retention and culture
- How her space became a true community hub, complete with nonprofit partnerships and a waitlist for offices
- The creative ways she’s using AI and thinking about operational efficiency
- Why DIY coworking isn’t for divas—and how she embraces a high-touch, high-hospitality model
This episode is packed with practical insights, big energy, and
creative ideas for operators looking to build something people
genuinely want to be part of. Whether you're hearing it for the
first time or giving it another listen, there’s a good chance
you’ll walk away with a few ideas worth putting into action.
