Just wanted to let you know that discussing recently with Jean-Yves
Huwart, I was contending co-working is an enabler for 'psychological

Thanks to both Garth and Alex for discussing this here! Really
interesting. I empathize with the feeling of helplessness that results
when we see something significant happening, but don't knowwhat to
