    Popular Houston coworking space hosts event that's all about the hustle

    CultureMap Create
    Feb 14, 2019 | 12:15 pm

    If you have a side hustle — and these days, who doesn't? — you won't want to miss this event. WeWork and the Houston Rockets are hosting a party and panel discussion about the art of the side hustle and creating a life you love.

    On February 27 from 6-8 pm at the WeWork in the Jones Building (708 Main St.), you can sip, snack, and listen as the panelists offer up their advice.

    Set to share are CJ Paul, Chris Paul's brother and manager; Mario Elie, Houston Rockets legend and three-time NBA champion; Gretchen Sheirr, chief revenue officer for the Houston Rockets; David Gow, CEO of Gow Media and CultureMap; and Roniel Bencosme, WeWork Houston's community director.

    All attendees will be entered for a chance to win a basketball signed by the Houston Rockets players.

    Paul is president of CP3, LLC, a nonprofit corporation founded in 2005 that strives to positively impact individuals and families by leveling the playing field in education, sports, and life. The foundation's emphasis on community involvement has won it the NBA's Community Assist Award three times in Chris Paul's 10-year career. The foundation partners with Feed the Children, Make-A-Wish, Salvation Army, B&G Clubs, LA's Best Afterschool programs, Leapz & Bounds, and a number of other organizations. Paul is also managing partner of Ohh Dip!!! Productions and oversees CP3 Basketball Academy.

    Elie was drafted in 1985 by the Milwaukee Bucks and played 11 seasons before retiring. He won two NBA championships with the Houston Rockets in 1994 and '95, and then another with the San Antonio Spurs in '99. In 2007, Elie was inducted in the New York Basketball Hall of Fame, and was named one of the top 10 players in Houston Rockets history. That same year, Elie began his coaching career with the Dallas Mavericks and currently works as an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic.

    Now in her 18th season with the Houston Rockets, and her third as CRO, Sheirr is responsible for the sales, service, and overall revenue strategy for the organization. In 2017, Sheirr was named one of Sports Business Journal's Forty Under 40, which annually recognizes the top young professionals in sports business. She is also a founding board member of WISE Houston, serves on the board of Target Hunger, and is a member of the Executive Women's Partnership.

    Not only is Gow head of CultureMap's parent company, but he also oversees SportsMap, InnovationMap, and GiftingMap, and owns the highest-rated sports radio station in Houston, ESPN 97.5FM and SB Nation Radio, one of the country's largest national sports radio networks. Prior to entering the media business, Gow was first CFO and ultimately the CEO of Ashford.com, a company that grew from $1.2 million up to over $50 million in revenue. As CFO, Gow managed a successful IPO, raising over $75 million with Goldman Sachs as the lead underwriter. As CEO, Gow grew a profitable corporate gifts business to complement the company's e-tailing business. Ashford.com was sold to GSI Commerce in 2002.

    Come early or stick around to check out this WeWork location, which is housed in a building full of history. The Great Jones Building originally housed offices for Texaco when it first opened in 1908, but now, more than a century later, WeWork claimed it as its first Houston location.

    A modern layout gets a few Art Deco touches — a nod to the JP Morgan Chase building next door — along with an impressive collection of local artwork. Incredible views, cozy coffee corners, a new-mothers' room, and micro-roast coffee, fresh fruit water, and draught craft beer are just a few of the awesome amenities that WeWork members can enjoy.
