When the norms and expectations of the workplace aren’t working for you, what do you do?  

If you’re Alex West Steinman, you create your own workplace.  

In 2017, West Steinman left a career in advertising and communications and joined three colleagues to found The Coven.

Eight years later, The Coven has two coworking sites in the Twin Cities and another five franchise locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Along with desk space and professional development, the coworking network provides an inclusive community that lifts up its members.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Thursday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks to Alex West Steinman about her entrepreneurial journey and how to create workplaces that are welcoming.    

And we want to hear from you, too.

Have you or would you use a coworking space? What do you get out of it? What makes a workplace welcoming or unwelcoming to you? What questions do you have for Alex about how to start and grow a business?  

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.   

Guest:

  • Alex West Steinman is the CEO and co-founder of The Coven, a network of coworking spaces with locations in the Twin Cities and Wisconsin.
