What if the secret to growing your business isn’t working harder… but working around the right people?

That’s exactly what happened when host Phil Bonelli discovered Thrive CoWorking in Gainesville — a vibrant space where productivity, creativity, and connection collide.

Thrive Gainesville: Where Business, Community, and Productivity Meet

In today’s fast-paced, hybrid work world, finding the perfect balance between productivity and community can be a challenge—unless you’ve discovered Thrive Gainesville. During this episode of North Georgia Business Radio, Community Manager Marianna Soper shared how Thrive Gainesville is redefining co-working spaces for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and growing businesses.

Since its start in 2015, Thrive has expanded rapidly across the Southeast and beyond, with locations from Georgia to Montana. But Gainesville’s location, nestled on the beautiful downtown square, offers more than just desks and Wi-Fi—it’s a vibrant hub for connection, collaboration, and business growth.

Thrive Gainesville provides flexible workspaces, including 40 private offices, open co-working areas, phone booths, meeting rooms, and even a podcast studio. Members enjoy 24/7 access, high-speed internet, complimentary coffee, and regular networking events that foster genuine relationships — not just business cards.

Marianna highlighted how Thrive isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to thrive. From solopreneurs seeking focus outside their home office to teams downsizing traditional office space, Thrive offers a dynamic environment that encourages productivity and creativity. The month-to-month leases, modern amenities, and a strong sense of community make it an ideal solution for today’s flexible workforce.

Whether you need a professional space for a day, a private office without long-term commitment, or a spot to grow your business alongside like-minded professionals, Thrive Gainesville delivers. Plus, with locations across multiple states, members can tap into Thrive’s expansive network wherever they travel.

Looking for more than just office space? Thrive Gainesville offers the energy, support, and connections that make everyday work extraordinary. As Marianna says, it’s like working from home—but so much better.
