Closer to the Beach E47
In this episode of Tycoons, Austin and Landon welcome the President of MAC6, Kyle McIntosh, and his Director of Programs, Jennifer Burwell, to the show. Kyle and Jennifer have a unique connection to Tycoons of Small Biz as the Phoenix Business RadioX recording studio is in one of the MAC6 spaces.
This was an interesting discussion about the changes that have occurred in the commercial office space industry over the last 12 months and how companies have adapted to the remote work environment. Kyle and Jennifer have leveraged their creative abilities to make changes in an effective and safe way for companies to return to community office spaces moving forward.
Kyle and Jennifer make a dynamic leadership team and provide a refreshing take on holistic teambuilding to promote growth and productivity. The MAC6 Leadership Academy takes the office space to the next level, by strengthening the teams that work inside them.
Located in Tempe, 10 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and 15 minutes from Arizona State University, the MAC6 Entrepreneurial Center offers 150,000 square feet of space including traditional and non-traditional private office suites, a variety of coworking office space solutions, and a unique light co-manufacturing space; all in service to growth-oriented entrepreneurs, startups and mid-market enterprise businesses.
With a background in marketing and experience in various for profit and not for profit companies, including much professional and volunteer work, Kyle McIntosh wondered, “How can I pair the passion and commitment to community progress of a non-profit with the sustainability and reach of a for profit company?”
From this question and perspective a mission evolved to tear down the false distinction between the two sectors and to promote companies with Conscious Capitalism® business models through MAC6.
