Amina Moreau is the Co-founder and CEO of Radious, an online marketplace that converts houses, apartments, and other residential properties into collaborative workspaces, rentable by the day. As a self-described chronic entrepreneur, she has built numerous companies, including Stillmotion, a five-time Emmy award-winning filmmaking company, Sway Storytelling, and Float Small Business.
Research shows that leading organizations have claimed remote work decreases workplace communication, collaboration, productivity, culture, and innovation. However, most of these companies equate remote work with working from home, generalizing the pain points specific to a single definition. While working from home may cause isolation and burnout from an inadequate work-life separation, remote work allows employees to work in accessible locations independent from a traditional corporate office. Learn how monetizing and outsourcing residential homes transforms standard notions of remote work.
With a finger on the pulse of modern-day work trends and demands, Amina Moreau understands that vibrant and optimized workspaces are crucial for employee productivity and creativity. With some residential homes serving as alternative office spaces, employees can select and rent environments that suit their working needs. This solution reduces commute times and carbon emissions, makes work tools accessible in quiet neighborhoods, and allows families to subsidize their rent or mortgages. Additionally, outsourcing homes to remote workers is more profitable than listing them on Airbnb since the demand is consistent. Rather than enforcing return-to-work mandates, organizations should adapt their management styles to these demands and recognize the increased profitability of underutilized office spaces.
Tune in to this episode of What The Teck? as Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly welcome Amina Moreau, the Co-founder and CEO of Radious, to discuss how her platform accelerates remote work. Amina addresses the surge in remote work in response to return-to-office mandates, how Radious generates customer loyalty, and the failures that have shaped her entrepreneurial path.

If you look at national statistics, the biggest barrier to returning to the office is the commute. And part of it is an environmental argument. Part of it is a time and cost argument. There’s so many people who have barriers to commuting. So working remotely, whether it’s from home or from other places that are typical corporate office alleviate a lot of those pain points, Amina, is remote work over and the good news and the short answer is no, we’re actually just at the ground floor. It’s just about to boom, all of those big companies that you mentioned, they have the biggest PR megaphone. So of course, the majority of headlines that we’re going to see are going to be from the big companies. 80% of tech companies are offering their employees location flexibility. So when we hear about an RTO mandate, thou shalt come back to the warehouse. For every one CEO that’s forcing people that are two other CEOs that are quietly stealing their talent.

Welcome to What The Teck? your gateway to business strategies and tech secrets, shaping today’s workplace. Hey, Dave, would you have imagined that a few years ago if you and I were sitting down, you know hanging out that you would hear that people would be renting out their living rooms or the kitchen as office space for employees or businesses that wonder most employees like a new workplace kind of thing?
Dave Kelly 1:36
I would have asked I would have said why you know, working from home is perfect. i Some people want to be in their home five days a week, they can work virtually why do we need why do we need a physical space anyways? And especially why do we need something that’s just kind of on a per day or an ad hoc basis, I would wonder why that was such a big deal Rolando?
Rolando Rosas 1:57
a me too, because there’s a lot of companies that have invested heavily in their commercial spaces. You look at what Google has done with their campus, you look at what meta has been trying to do with Willow Park and some of the investments around their campus. LinkedIn as well. You look at the Nike you look at what Microsoft is Salesforce, all of these big companies have invested heavily in commercial real estate. But you know what something called a pandemic got in the way of all of those plans and up ended life at work as we used to know it.
Dave Kelly 2:29
And we’re going to explore that and more with our upcoming guests. But before we jump into our guest today, we’ll Rolando, we have a couple of shout outs to throw out there. Yes,
Rolando Rosas 2:32
we do. You know, let me shout out a few people to people. You know, we were talking earlier about this how we are somewhere around 115 120 episodes of doing this podcast and we’re thinking about our very first guest Milton from ebp. Man, he came on our show, he’s got about 200,000 subscribers on YouTube. So if you want to nerd out on technology and the latest and greatest Gadget, Go check him out. And one I want to give him big props. I know he was at CES, he was nerding out on some gadgets.
Dave Kelly 3:10

Rolando Rosas 3:14
Oh man, he comes back with some really cool stuff every time he heads out there. So big props to Milton over at ebp man reviews and we want to give a big, big, big, big shout out to CJ Rosenbaum, Amazon Seller lawyers, you know, Dave, he’s one of the premier attorneys when it comes to all things. Amazon litigation, seller issues, an awful disclosure, we use him as our legal services. And I have zero complaints about him. He is absolutely wonderful. And but I think he was one of our earlier guests as well. And he set the internet on fire for us with a lot of his commentary and his color. You know, he’s a he’s a New York guy. He’s a New York guy, you know, so shout out to CJ as well. So CJ and Milton, thank you very much.
Dave Kelly 4:02
Both of these guys are creating content. I think they’re creating content also with family. And I know that CJ recently made a video is him and his son riding dirt bikes or Hey, a father son duo that’s out there getting dirty but creating content at the same time. You know, talk about they’re documenting, right, they document what they’re doing. And then they add the messaging to it. And it’s interesting for folks like us to consume so Hey, good job to both of these folks. They do a kick butt job out there creating new and fresh content often all the time. I know
Rolando Rosas 4:32
I enjoy the adventures of CJ Milton. So David, let’s let’s jump into our guest for today, Amina Moreau, you know when when she came onto your radar and you said hey, you know, we got to talk to Amina because she is doing some stuff that is right up the alley of the things we’ve been talking about, like with Professor Nick Bloom from Stanford, Steve Cadigan, formerly of LinkedIn and so on and so on. I was like, yes, let’s do it. Let me tell you a little bit about Amina T is an Chronic entrepreneur I want to ask her about that in a visionary force behind Radious. Her latest endeavor Radious is an online platform transforming the concept of remote work by outfitting residential properties with workplace amenities, offering them for company workdays, and team meetings that are available for a daily rental beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits. Amina is a tennis enthusiast and recently ranked number one in the Pacific Northwest a boy that just gotta be real good to be number one. And a lot of hard work has played a sport so I know it takes work to be number one when not immersed in building Radious, she finds her sense of peace on the tennis court playing at a high level and crushing it at 100 miles per hour. That’s probably where she’s comfortable. I get it. Amina is multifaceted journey reflects not only her innovative approach to business, but also her commitment to finding a balance and excellence in both work and play. Let’s welcome to the show and out of the green moon. Amina Moreau.
