The Future of virtual coworking and “Deep Work”

Working from home has its perks, from flexible schedules to easy access to snacks, but what about the downsides? Join us as we delve into the world of remote work with serial entrepreneur Alicia Navarro, founder of Flown – a platform revolutionising virtual coworking. In this episode, we explore the challenges of feeling disconnected from your company and colleagues while working remotely, and how Flown aims to combat distraction and loneliness by fostering "deep work" – that highly productive mental state we all strive for. Alicia shares her entrepreneurial journey, from inadvertently inventing affiliate links over a decade ago to her current mission with Flown. Discover how a rejection from a Google Maps job interview led her down this path and how she's navigating the ever-evolving landscape of remote work. But it's not all business – we also dive into what it takes for humans to reach their full potential, memorable encounters like partying with Snoop Dogg, and why Alicia always brings authenticity, even if it means swearing, to her job interviews. ********** Follow us on socials!
