Welcome back to another edition of the Coworking Values Podcast, where we discuss everything that is going on in the Coworking Community.
Stephen Somerville, Co-founder of Contingent.Works in Bromley, London, joins us for this episode.
Contingent.Works exist to help Bromley become a better place. Bromley has an amazing history, with previous residents who have helped change the world, yet it often feels as if there is little to inspire the present generation of globe-shakers.
Bernie and Stephen "fanboys" about David Bowie and the role he and other previous residents had in putting Bromley on the map. And how Bromley has evolved into a vibrant startup hotspot.
And how they may engage with the local community, uncover new ideas and talent, and help entrepreneurs make business connections.
On Ziggy's 50th Birthday Party Stephen asks everyone to appreciate the places that shaped Ziggy by launching the first Bromley Bowie Map.
Contingent Works is holding an exclusive celebration to honour its hometown hero.

Welcome back to the Coworking Values Podcast.
For this episode, Bernie speaks with Simone Franke, the Hopp.team's Chief Community Officer and the Founder and CEO of Pappus.
Simone recognised the importance of community three years ago. After becoming unhappy with her 9 to 5 career, she joined a coworking space to find her purpose in bringing people back together.
Pappus Agency was founded on the solid belief that social synergies improve company efficiency, inventiveness, and sustainability.
Simone and Bernie will explore how the coworking community has shifted since before the Pandemic. How it continues to pave the path for a more inclusive, diverse, and accessible future of work.
They also talk about how the coworking community is more than simply a community; it is a living, breathing organism that is always growing and evolving.
