Edition #10: Cat Johnson

Here at GCUC we are immensely fortunate to cross paths and work with so many amazing people. Through our work, we’ve cultivated a global community of people we think you should know about. 

Community of Cultivators is a new blog series to introduce you to coworking game changers and connectors. Each month, we’ll release new interviews that we hope inform and inspire you.

This week I had the pleasure of Interviewing Cat Johnson. Cat runs the Coworking Content Alliance as well as the Coworking Out Loud podcast. She is a pillar in our industry and a personal friend of GCUC. Keep reading to see what she had to say.

Name: Cat Johnson
Company and title: Founder of Coworking Content Alliance & Coworking Out Loud Podcast

Where do you personally feel the most sense of community?

Anytime people are being real, sharing their stories and being kind, I feel a sense of community. I’m fortunate to have this in several areas of my life, including coworking.

What podcast would you recommend to others and why?

The Coworking Out Loud Podcast is my favorite creative project right now. I’m trying to find ways to give more energy and attention to it! I love when people tell me they follow along.

What is one piece of advice you give everyone that works with and/or for you?

Be you. Your messy, authentic self is far more interesting than any persona you could create.

If you had $500 to spend- what would you buy?

Probably sneakers. And an outfit for GCUC UK. Londoners know how to bring it.

What advice would you give to someone thinking of becoming an entrepreneur?

If you have an idea that aligns your values and purpose, the skills to get started, and the willingness to ask for help, go for it. You’ll figure out the rest as you go.

What is the best habit you ever started? What habit do you want to start but haven’t yet?

Daily meditation. It goes hand-in-hand with my recovery practice, which is the best thing I’ve ever done. I’d like to swim more. I always feel amazing after a swim.

If you had to put a quote on your gravestone what would it be?

Don’t wait. This is it.
