2. Is this the Airbnb for commercial office space? with Jim Groves of Rubberdesk

In the second episode of the Field trip podcast, we talk to Jim Groves, CEO of Rubberdesk, the leading online marketplace for flexible office space in the Australian market.

With current listings exceeding 15,000 desks, Rubberdesk is injecting flexibility of use into the traditional commercial leasing framework, benefiting landlords and tenants alike.

What I found most interesting, however, was the community aspect to Rubberdesk - how it is facilitating strong and diverse business networks amongst its hosts and users - organically built from the ground up.  This led into a discussion about the untapped potential of suburban office precincts, both now and into the future.
