The Coliving Code Podcast: Recent Episodes
Christine McDannell
Some of the biggest problems of modern society are affordable housing and social isolation. People are signing away their paychecks on rent, while feeling increasingly alone. We're on a personal mission to solve these problems through the CoLiving movement by helping redefine the term ‘housemate’ with something meaningful, sustainable, and flexible on a global level.
People now are choosing access over ownership and new real estate projects need to be built specifically for the way humans are deciding to live. These interviews feature experts in the field who share their own successes and journeys.
Kndrd was acquired October 2021!

The Epic Entrepreneur House Series is back and this time we are featuring our newest member, Tim Chard, founder of Ascenial.
In his early twenties, he decided to start coliving in Asia. Part of his coliving journey included Japan for four years to pursue his DJ dreams, then ramped it up this year to continue pursuing his entrepreneurial dreams at where else, The Epic Entreprenuer House in San Diego, CA.
During his coliving years overseas he was able to save on costs while living in some of the most amazing spots in the country, like Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, Japan.
He even colived in a 52 person space in Japan called Sakura house - with just one communal kitchen and communal living room.
He believes that you need to surround yourself with people that are aligned with your values.

Being born and raised in Brooklyn, NY as a part of an extremely tight knit community, values such as family, commitment, and loyalty were instilled in Abe from a young age.

That’s why for Abe, the culture within the company between employees and the partnerships he has built over the years are more important to him than anything else. Abe is constantly striving to make sure those relationships are growing and maintained at 100% satisfaction. Whether you have a small project that is 10 suites or a project that is 1,000 suites, Abe gives the same level of dedication.

Chris is the co-founder and CEO of Ollie, leaving behind his finance career in 2011 to focus his full time and energy on his passion for the development of coliving and micro-housing communities. His prior experience as both an institutional investor and an angel investor in the consumer sector led him to re-imagine how the multi-family housing sector could, and should, be very different if only real estate developers would segment and innovate their product as a consumer category rather than as a commoditized asset class or an investment vehicle. Chris’ entrepreneurial roots pre-date Ollie. He is one of the initial seed investors in the organic baby food manufacturer, Happy Family Brands, which boasts nationwide distribution in most major grocers, including Whole Foods, Target and Wal-Mart, and was acquired by global food giant Groupe Danone in 2013. He also serves as an informal advisor to other food startups, including popsicle maker Ruby’s Naturals as well as egg substitute manufacturer Beyond Eggs. Before making the entrepreneurial leap, Chris was a consumer staples analyst with Chicago-based hedge fund Citadel Investment Group. He began his career at the investment banking firm of JPMorgan Chase & Co, which he joined following his graduation from Georgetown University, where he was enrolled in the McDonough School of Business.

Nine Coliving is located in La Orotava, Tenerife. The story of Nine starts with Anne, a 30 year old Dutch girl. Her whole twenties were spent working to save up money to take off for a few months each year to travel the world. Anne kept doing this until last year when she joined a group of 50 digital nomads to travel the world for a year, living and working in 12 cities over 4 continents.
When traveling the world with 50 people, you instantly become a community and family. They travelled, worked, lived, ate, explored, laughed, cried, and basically did everything together. Soon they became the kind of community that let one another be exactly who they needed to be at that moment, without any judgement. Anne have never felt so much support from a group of people, which made her grow in ways she didn't think was possible. The value of a community like that is one of the reasons she started Nine.
As a single world traveller, Anne always had to make concessions at money, friends, and family. Being able to be a free spirit that wants to discover the world, without losing these important aspects of life is another big reason Nine was born. After a year of moving every month, Anne was not the only one that longed for some quiet and stability. It was time to shape her life exactly the way she wanted, without any restrictions.
This meant finding a place where she could still surround herself with these inspiring humans called digital nomads, but where Anne could do what she does best: making people feel at home in a beautifully designed place.

The Diversus Fund was founded by Danny Kalenov. Since 1999, Danny and his team have analyzed, purchased, repositioned, and managed income-producing real estate assets.

Danny is a dynamic entrepreneur, having lead teams at 3 successful tech companies and 2 Fortune 500 Medical Device firms. He’s raised millions of dollars for numerous real estate projects across multiple countries and states.
He’s a frequent contributor to popular online resources for real estate investing. His projects have been featured on the Travel Channel, ESPN Radio, The Real Estate Guys Radio Show, and numerous other podcasts.
Daniel has a B.A. in Economics from Tufts University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
