Hi, Alex, Yes, the most striking initially is how many of them are from the trades. I have a flooring company, an import/export, and a transport company (right off the top of my head) who would never in a million years have been attracted by a traditional (!) coworking approach. And yet they are amoung my most enthusiastic members of the community, they love everything related to the community. But they would not have come for it, they consider discussions of values and so forth to be a hobby for people with too much education and not enough hard work to do (if I may overstate just a little). And networking? If you ask them, they don't do it, they are too busy to go to parties with people they don't like. But in point of fact thye network like crazy, it's how they stay afloat. They just don't call it that.
I have a lot to say abotu this, and a far more nuanced response will be coming in a couple hours, I am covered up at the mo. but this was the most striking/surprising to me.
