Spring Message from the Founder
Robert Martellacci, CEO |
|
|---|

Dear Colleague,
Happy Spring! Coworking has come of age with residents of Mississauga appreciating the importance of a balanced lifestyle and the notion of #liveworkplaylearn in your local area; which in large part inspired the MindShare Workspace business concept. We are seeing a strong demand for offices and the hybrid work spaces as not everyone has a good setup at home, or just need a change of scenery to work, or learn.
We are thrilled to be re-opening with a sense of normalcy as we scale up our capacity. Hence, we are hopeful and incredibly optimistic that 2022 will be pivotal year for you to cease the moment and create new opportunities for growth.
The caveat is that we can't let our guard down fully yet. Something that we've advocated at Mindshare in order to keep our members safe. And, knock on wood, we've had zero issues during the past two years.
We're also witnessing a greater appetite for people to start their own business as a lifestyle choice, one of the positive outcomes of the pandemic is the realization that one needs to take control of their lives to follow their passion.
Congratulations to Mayor Bonnie Crombie and the team at the City of Mississauga's Economic Development Office, on the launch of IDEA Mississauga. The Mississauga Innovation District has the essential building blocks that entrepreneurs and innovators need to solve society’s greatest challenges. A network of mentorship, partners, talent and connections to test, scale and commercialize solutions to global challenges. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have had tapped into the excellent support services of Mississauga EDO when I was launching our MindShare Workspace. Hence, we're super excited to by the launch of IDEA Mississauga and all the additional value-added services that we'll definitely take advantage of and you should too!

In 9.84 seconds, Donovan Bailey ran 100 metres – about the length of a standard football field – to win gold at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and set a new world record.
Twenty-six years later, one of the greatest sprinters of all time (Bailey also won a gold medal in relay in Atlanta and still holds the 50-metre record with a time of 5.56 seconds) has traded athletics for business. The company he established during his professional running career – Bailey Inc. – manages real estate and brand partnerships with organizations such as Adidas, Coca-Cola and Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada.
