For today’s episode of the Daily Detroit Happy Hour podcast, Sven Gustafson sits down with Amanda Lewan, who, along with the organization she leads, **[Bamboo Detroit,](http://www.bamboodetroit.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com)** is part of flipping the script when it comes to entrepreneurship and startups in Detroit.

Bamboo Detroit is a co-working and business development space in downtown Detroit that started in 2013\. Now in a larger home on Washington Boulevard (and having added an additional floor of private offices) **[they recently released a report about their economic impact](http://bamboodetroit.com/what-impact-does-coworking-have-on-a-local-economy/?ref=dailydetroit.com)**. It also included some interesting details about women-owned and businesses owned by people of color.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation with someone making something happen in Detroit, and helping others make it happen, too. .

For full disclosure, in the past Bamboo Detroit has been a sponsor of the show, but did not sponsor this episode.
