zero to ten with teddy johnson

We are so excited to introduce y’all to the newest member of the hygge team, Teddy Johnson!

Teddy is a Chicago native and a Baylor graduate who moved to Charlotte 3 years ago on a bit of a whim. She was looking to jumpstart her career as a young professional and happened to have a close friend moving to the city at the same time.

Everything ended up working out, but not without some bumps in the road. Shortly after moving, the Covid-19 pandemic hit the U.S. in full force. This meant she spent the majority of her first few months in the Queen City in her apartment, unable to create a network or explore.

Charlotte is a city of transplants. Folks are moving here from all over the U.S. as the city continues to grow rapidly, and we see many of them come to coworking to try to meet some folks. That’s what Teddy did in a way: She got a job with WeWork and began to build a community of folks there, even though it was primarily through virtual events to start.

From there she joined a gym where she met other women who were around her age and had similar interests. Fast-forward a bit and now she’s one of our stellar community managers hoping to connect with members and help them build their own connections.

Throughout our latest Zero to Ten podcast episode, we learn more about Teddy and get some tips perfect for anyone new to Charlotte who’s trying to make friends. We also talk Charlotte food, so this is the perfect episode if you’re looking for new spots to try in the city.

You can listen to the whole episode above, or search for Zero to Ten on whatever platform you prefer to listen to podcasts on.
