Being a business owner in Spain

Being a business owner in Spain is famously challenging.... (keep smiliiiing...!) but it attracts people who value quality of life and quality of work.

Because community is in the DNA of the country. 🌅

One of my goals for this year was to lean into spaces of personal and professional learning, exchange, and connection.

This is only possible because of the many community builders who create these INTENTIONAL spaces.

I am grateful to the individuals recently who invest their time to foster uplifting communities, while also hustling for their own projects, including –

Mariah Fredericks for bringing together 8 wonderful people from 5 countries with diverse entrepreneurial journeys in sport to share a home-made vegan Mexican lunch and open conversation about what each person needs at this stage in their project. 🪴

Barcelona Digital Nomads for organizing the AI circle with 100+ entrepreneurs sharing their honest journey and practical tips in AI and real conversations with builders from so many countries, Catalunya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Sweden, Russia, to name a few. 🌏

Montse Monllau and I🖤NW NEW WAYS OF WORKING for connecting a curated group of impressive women leading tech and business in a privileged cultural setting, Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, and leading the conversation on what comes next. 💡

I'd genuinely love to hear about more intentional communities and spaces in Barcelona and your experiences of them. It feels like it's a (time + energy) investment that compounds, as something increasingly essential to how we live and work today.
