Office Futurist & LinkedIn Influencer w/ Dave Cairns
Listen to Kenneth Hellem in conversation with Dave Cairns, Office Futurist & LinkedIn Influencer.
As an independent-minded person, he started off his career out of university as a professional poker player where he was ranked as one of the top 100 online tournament players in the world for a time.
Along with his outstanding team, he focuses on working with high-growth companies in the tech sector, Space as a Service Operators (#SPaaS) like Convene, financial services firms like CIBC, and also with landlords representing each of them on their office leasing needs (which are increasingly becoming “non-traditional”).
Summary of the Podcast:
In this podcast episode, sponsored by Beleco, commercial real estate agent Dave Cairns discusses his belief that remote work will not kill cities but will instead reinvent them. Cairns coined the term "Homad" to describe his second coming as a digital nomad, living in a place he loves while still being able to work remotely. He believes that remote work allows him to live his best life by choosing where he wants to be and still being able to work with companies globally.
Cairns sees a huge opportunity for the commercial real estate industry to play in the middle space between going to the central office or staying at home. He believes that technology will help nudge us in the right direction in terms of how we co-locate with one another productively. The landscape for what's available in terms of office spaces is poised to change greatly towards branded spaces that are managed and serviced by operators, which comes with a huge opportunity to buy space in many permutations of on-demand. Cairns thinks that this shift can also shift culture for companies to unbundle how people come together.

Having lived and worked in 8 countries and led distributed teams across multiple time zones, Ken has come to realize that the future is remote.
