In part two of two, Scale Collaborative directors Kristi Rivait, Kristi Fairholm Mader, and Lee Herrin share how they kept theDock afloat through turbulent times. They discuss the secret to a successful communal workspace, why it should function like a living organism, the advice they’d give their younger selves, and their hopes for theDock’s future.
