The Power of Co-working Spaces to Drive Powerful Social Change with Chris Smith

by Jeff Bond

I'm the Co-Founder of Chat With Leaders Media and People First Elevation Team, where my team and I help values-driven businesses create content that strengthens relationships, fuels engagement, and drives high-performing cultures. We partner with communications, marketing, and people teams to produce thought-leadership podcasts, executive messaging, and event content. My team and I also work with leaders to transform company meetings into culture-defining moments—ensuring they align teams, elevate key voices, and inspire action. As a board member of Conscious Capitalism Atlanta, I advocate for business as a force for good. Outside of work, I’m passionate about faith, family, and using influence to create lasting impact.

How can a co-working space become a beacon of light for work and transform the way people think about their jobs? In today’s episode, Jeff Bond chats with Chris Smith, Chief Revenue Officer at THRIVE | Coworking and CoFounder of THRIVE | Initiative. Together, THRIVE provides a purpose-driven, socially engaged environment for freelancers, entrepreneurs and employees of both large and small businesses, combining design-forward style and thoughtful amenities with philanthropy and community involvement.

You’ll hear from Chris about how to leverage the power of purpose to drive change, how to build a legacy that goes beyond profit, and how THRIVE | Coworking is taking its commitment to service and generosity to the next level through a unique initiative that benefits retailers, micro-donors, non-profit partners, and local communities.
