Experts from across the coworking industry are participating in a panel to discuss the current state of coworking.

Participants include Flip Howard (Lucid Private Offices), Michelle Stiegler (Premier Workspaces), Brian Childers (The Instant Group), Sarah Goldman (Office Hub), Giovanni Palavicini (GWA/Fronteras/Flex Uncensored) and Nadim Ahmed (Venture X) with William Edmundson (iPostal1 Workspace/CoMRAA) as the discussion moderator.

Flip Howard joins Hector Kolonas on the TWIC Podcast for an episode called "wash & fold to workspace gold" – diving into what has, and hasn’t, changed in the 25 years of building what is now known as Lucid Private Offices.

Flip Howard, CEO of Lucid Private Offices sat down for an interview detailing how they have developed a hybrid workspace model that combines the flexibility of coworking with the professionalism of traditional offices, emphasizing white-label branding and sophisticated design elements.

The company’s approach focuses on creating unbranded, professional environments while maintaining coworking benefits like flexible terms and community amenities. The strategy appears to be successful, with Lucid Private Offices expanding to four new locations in 2024 across Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, and Scottsdale.

In Sofia Stolberg’s latest Forbes EQ piece, we hear what industry leaders Ashley Buckner, Flip Howard and Michelle Stiegler (from well-established firms Carr Workplaces, Lucid Private Offices and Premier Workspaces respectively) think about Virtual Office (VO) products.

Flip notes that VO memberships represent nearly 70% of his profit margins across 26 locations, and "represent the highest revenue per square foot offering in the business". Michelle notes that over the last 22 years, VO plans have been a big part of their book of business, while Ashley noted how VO sales have a unique ability to go straight through to the bottom line.
