<h2 dir="ltr">How to Choose the Best Computer Monitor Deal?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">Most models in our ratings perform well in this area, making display quality&mdash;possibly the most crucial monitor feature&mdash;not a big source of concern. But while picking a monitor, you should also consider the following elements.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Resolution</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Resolution" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20220825/Best-Labor-Day-Monitor-Sales--Deals-for-Gaming--Working_656a43893ea.webp" /></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">The number of visual components, or pixels, that make up an image is referred to as a monitor&#39;s resolution. Today, 1920x1080, also known as 1080p or Full HD, is the most popular resolution. More content can fit on the screen with higher resolution since it allows for smaller text and image sizes. When working with photos and graphics, higher resolution is preferable.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Screen Size</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">Monitor screens are measured diagonally, much like TVs. When the screen size increases, the price typically increases, so consider your budget and available space. The standard screen size is 20 inches or a few under, which can deliver the basic functions and be taken from room to room due to its portable design. This size is also sufficient if you are opting for multi-screen setups. However, a larger screen size might be suitable for gamers and programmers.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Refresh Rate</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><img alt="Refresh Rate" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20220825/Best-Labor-Day-Monitor-Sales--Deals-for-Gaming--Working_744221a3f96.webp" /></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">This displays, in hertz, the frequency with which your monitor updates with new data each second (Hz). Images are better, smoother, and less jerky when numbers are larger. Gamers need a display with the lowest response time possible and a refresh rate of at least 75 Hz. If you&#39;re not gaming, a refresh rate of 60 Hz is sufficient.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Price</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">The price is bound to be higher for products like monitors, which involve a lot of complexity and design. It is also true that cheap things come with limited features and life while expensive gadgets are designed to last and provide more quality to your work. This doesn&#39;t mean you should drain your bank of all the savings to get a properly functioning screen.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2be5ce5c-7fff-347c-4cab-5038dee7c52a">For monitors and accessories, price match and comparison are two things that will deliver the right results. Check out multiple brands and deals to find the best one. You can also shop during the sale season when many famous brands make huge sales. For Pixio monitor screens in all categories, check out the upcoming Autonomous Labor Day Sales.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Where do you want to go in the future? What is the position you envision yourself in long-term speaking? If the answer to these questions is still unclear, perhaps you haven&#39;t taken some time to organize your thoughts and start making a proper career development plan. With a career plan, you can keep your thought train &quot;wishful,&quot; It is also the best way to get started.</span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">What is a career plan?</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">A career development plan is meant to help you create your professional life. This way, you can customize your strategy so that you can achieve your career goals. However, this concept is also applicable to companies, not only individually.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Let&#39;s take it to an organizational context. We can say that a career development plan for employees is meant to &quot;assist&quot; the employees present within a business to achieve their career goals. So, in summary, we can consider it </span>an addition to that specific individual&rsquo;s career and aspirations. It takes into account short-term and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/setting-long-term-career-goals-with-8-examples">long-range occupational goals</a>.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="What is a career plan?" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan214501e6c69.jpg" /></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Getting started</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">If you&rsquo;re already thinking of career development plan ideas, you can start by submitting an employee satisfaction survey at your workplace. This way, you can start by&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/tips-of-evaluating-team-performance">evaluating team performance</a> and <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/employee-performance-management-definition-practices">employee performance</a> and figuring out what members of the workforce are putting more weight into their career development. Self-assessment is another good tool you can utilize for this purpose.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Furthermore, remember that&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/cultural-diversity-in-the-workplace">cultural diversity in the workplace</a> may also have an impact on their mindset, and their needs and goals are likely aligned with their beliefs.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">If you&rsquo;ve decided that the employee satisfaction survey is the best way to go, please consider asking unambiguous questions that can help you figure out what your employees really want for their future.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">The reason why you should invest in your employees</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">According to statistics, at least 26 percent of </span><a href="https://www.techrepublic.com/article/5-signs-your-employees-feel-undervalued/" rel="nofollow">employees feel underrated</a> in their current roles. Thus, a great part of the workforce feels like their work isn&rsquo;t being recognized as it should &ndash; or even worse, most employees feel like they are not being heard.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">When someone doesn&#39;t feel valued and respected, it can escalate into bigger problems. For example, it is known that one of the primary reasons why a person renounces their employment is because there is a lack of growth opportunities and professional development.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Investing in your employees is beneficial for both parties as they will be with you for a longer period. In addition, they will acquire better skills, which will help your organization grow even further when you least expect it.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="The reason why you should invest in your employees" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan32ffa2dfc19.jpg" /></span></p>

<h2 dir="ltr">How to write a career development plan: 5 steps</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Once you learn why it is important to consider your employees&#39; needs and goals, it is time to start taking action. Unfortunately, many leaders don&#39;t know where to start, but there are only five steps you need to follow while you&#39;re trying to create a career development plan for employees.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">First step: What are your business goals?</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Before you officially sit down and start writing down the career development plan, it is necessary to analyze your business goals so that you can align the company&rsquo;s needs with the necessities of your employees. Here you should take into account both short-term and long-term objectives.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Once you start evaluating the situation, it will become clearer to you what abilities and knowledge you&rsquo;ll need to make your company achieve the results you want.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">It is possible that you have some hidden talent in your business. However, you will never figure out so if you don&#39;t put time and effort into employee development. Additionally, writing a career development plan may also help you save time and money while training newcomers, as you may be able to retain top talent in the long term.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">In other words, </span>this step will help you figure out what employees are ready to advance in their careers.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="How to write a career development plan: 5 steps" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan426d3cb8354.jpg" /></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Second step: Start communicating with your employees and let them know your expectations.</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">If you take into account the list written above, it will be time to let them know about your expectations and plans. You can do this by scheduling a meeting or sending them an email based on your preferences. However, during the first meeting, you should not go into detail about everything you want to achieve.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Here you should ask them about where they want to be in the short-term and long-term, what their dream job would be, the areas where they have troubles, and so on. Everything that may be helpful for you to identify what opportunities you can offer them and what role the company will play in those plans.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="Start communicating with your employees and let them know your expectations." src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan5099d6f1478.jpg" /></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Third step: Each plan should be based on a specific employee.</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Career development plans should be based on a specific person. Thus, you should work on personalizing it for each employee you think is ready for advancing in their careers. Furthermore, you shouldn&#39;t mistake potential for readiness. An employee may have the </span>potential for a determining role, but they may not be ready for it yet.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">That being said, you should now start thinking about the skills and goals (both professional and personal) that will help each member of the workforce unlock their hidden talent.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">Some of the professional objectives you can take into account are, for instance, new projects they can take part in, certifications they may be available to acquire, or a seminar they can assist to. Remember that each person is different, so that the same plan won&#39;t work for two individuals.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><img loading="lazy" alt="Each plan should be based on a specific employee." src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan69d813ccca5.jpg" /></span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Fourth step: Take into account different development types.</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">You&#39;ve identified what the objectives are. It is time to continue and identify how you can help your employees achieve those goals. At this point, it is hugely recommended to be as flexible as possible, as people have different learning methods and processes.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">For instance, this could happen via local networking groups, working together with an expert, or assigning special projects.</span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Fifth Step: Create a realistic plan and follow it accordingly.</h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">At this point, you and the employee must&#39;ve already decided to get moving. It is important to leave the door open for the employees to contribute with diverse ideas for their individual plans. </span>It is important for the employee to know your expectations and why this process is beneficial for both parties.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="Create a realistic plan and follow it accordingly" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210904/5-steps-career-development-plan751b645bc19.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-59a8b164-7fff-26d9-178c-07503fb63e29">You can start testing out their new skills at the workplace after training. However, as you&#39;re spending time on money on them, you need to make sure that you&#39;re getting a good return on investment.</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p>Nothing excites us more than empowering small business entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in a way they never could before.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Founded in South Carolina in 2008,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ceterus.com/" rel="nofollow" >Ceterus</a>&nbsp;has taken an innovative approach to accounting using AI and machine learning to provide companies with time-saving and result-oriented solutions. Curated for quick and reliable efficiency, it&rsquo;s no wonder that Ceterus has had such a meteoric rise in their industry.</p>

<div>
<h2>In your view, what helps you stand out and consistently attract businesses to use Ceterus?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="ceterus b" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/11._ceterus_bc1e3af8450.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<p>Our done-for-you accounting solution makes accurate and timely accounting a result to be expected&mdash;not just another tool or department our customers have to manage. Our reporting platform provides critical insight into the financial health of the business and includes benchmarks against relevant peers, cash forecasting, and daily performance dashboards. Combining done-for-you accounting with benchmarked reporting empowers business owners to focus on their business.</p>

<h2>How do you maintain the strong attention to detail Ceterus is famous for and manage the delicate balance between quality and quantity as you continue to scale?</h2>

<p>Leveraging technology is the key to our ability to scale. Manual tasks that can lead to errors are automated through our Edge platform that is integrated with QuickBooks. Our accountants provide human oversight as another layer to ensure accuracy.</p>

<h2>What are you most proud of regarding your team?</h2>

<p>Ceterites, as we call our team at Ceterus, are hyper focused on RESULTS. It is one of our core values and is a part of everything we do. Ceterites go above and beyond on a daily basis for our customers to ensure we deliver RESULTS to empower our entrepreneur customers.</p>

<h2>How would you describe your company culture in a sentence?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="ceterus c" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/11._ceterus_cca8d489ba7.jpg" /></p>

<p>Our company culture is all about RESULTS&mdash;it is at the core of everything we do.</p>
</div>
</div>

<div>
<h2>How do you build and maintain such a pleasant working environment in an industry notorious for its arduous/tedious grind?</h2>

<p>Because we use AI and machine learning to automate many of the manual tasks historically involved with accounting, our technology is helping us change the perception of the industry. We also love to have fun at work&mdash;which means everything from bring your dog to work days, complimentary lunches, to enjoying a boat ride on the Charleston harbor. We celebrate the wins whenever we can</p>

<h2>Tell us about a defining &lsquo;aha!&rsquo; moment (if there was a particular moment) where your company experienced noticeable growth.</h2>

<p>CPA firms took notice of the value we are delivering small business entrepreneurs, and realized the value of our platform for their firms to automate the manual, time consuming and error prone data entry tasks so they could focus more on their clients in a consultative capacity. This led to us developing Ceterus Edge for Accountants, which has been a huge driver of growth in addition to our core focus.</p>

<h2>What are some misconceptions about your industry?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="ceterus d" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/11._ceterus_dfc584f272e.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></p>

<p>One misconception is that accountants will be replaced by AI and robots. AI and robots will make accountants more productive and help them alleviate the manual tasks from their daily workload. This will only continue to evolve as technology improves. Accountants&rsquo; jobs will become less tedious and less about entering data and more about analyzing data. It will empower accountants to leverage their professional knowledge, not just their work ethic.</p>

<h2>What can you tell us about your company that we couldn&rsquo;t find out anywhere else?</h2>

<p>Ceterus comes from the Latin word meaning &quot;the rest&quot; (think: et cetera). We chose this name because we empower entrepreneurs by taking accounting off their plate so they can focus on&nbsp;<em>the rest</em>&nbsp;of their business.</p>

<h2>How do you envision the future of Ceterus?</h2>

<p>We will continue to leverage technology and be a part of the rapid change in the accounting industry. One that includes continuous accounting, not just a snapshot in time, and be more forward looking. Accounting has historically explained what happened in the past. AI and machine learning, paired with quality data (including historical financials, industry benchmarks, geographic information, and non-financial KPIs) will make accounting systems able to not only show the past, but also suggest actions to be more profitable in the future. We are excited to be on the leading edge of this shift.</p>

<h2>Our goal for the future is to continue to...</h2>

<p>Empower entrepreneurs. Nothing excites us more than empowering small business entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in a way they never could before. Small businesses make up about 99 percent of businesses in the American economy and employ 50 percent of the American workforce. This is a largely untapped market of 28 million businesses that need and want our help.</p>

<h2>Why did you choose Autonomous?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="ceterus e" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/11._ceterus_ebeb21cd013.jpg" /></p>

<p>Our Ceterites&rsquo; happiness and health is important to us. Our decision to go with standing desks was suggested by the team, and we listened.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/" >Autonomous</a>&nbsp;had what we were looking for and we have happily referred other companies to Autonomous.</p>

<p>We want people to know and feel that they are appreciated and we want this space to work as best for them as it can.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Located in the heart of Menlo Park, home to Facebook HQ and arguably one of the world&rsquo;s most successful entrepreneurial spaces in the world,&nbsp;<a href="https://innerstatecowork.com/" rel="nofollow" >Innerstate Coworking</a>&nbsp;is owned and operated by an amazing couple focused on giving small-businesses the perfect place to fulfill their visions. They&rsquo;ve managed to provide an open space where companies of all industries can afford to chase risk and accomplish their best work simultaneously together and independently. In doing so, they&rsquo;ve established themselves as movers and shakers in the best sense.</p>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="Innerstate" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/12._Innerstate_Coworking_b5360158b4c.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

<div>
<h2>What is the story behind &ldquo;Innerstate&rdquo;?</h2>

<p>We started Innerstate because my wife, Meg, started a private practice and needed a space to work. Real Estate was expensive for a solo practitioner so I learned about the growing coworking model and thought this is what we need to do. So many others struggle to find space, either due to cost, or due to the length of terms. We wanted to be a part of the solution.</p>

<h2>Can you tell us more about &quot;Work where you feel welcome&quot;, achieving a balance between mental wellness and high-intensity work performance?</h2>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="Innerstate" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/12._Innerstate_Coworking_c9cc5fb6ea3.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

<p>There are a lot of growing coworking spaces and all have their own unique vibe when you walk through the doors. We wanted to design a place that felt warm and inviting. We didn&rsquo;t want it to feel like your living room but also didn&rsquo;t want to feel like a boring sterile office. So we feel we blended the two nicely and provided a &ldquo;welcoming&rdquo; feeling when you walk in and get to work! Also we welcome people from all industries and we wanted to build a close community. We are owner operated, so Meg and I run the space. We want people to know and feel that they are appreciated and we want this space to work as best for them as it can. We want them to feel welcome!</p>

<h2>In your view, what helps you stand out and consistently attract communities of entrepreneurs, creatives and technology professionals?</h2>

<p>We have a great location surrounded by some of the biggest tech companies today. So it&rsquo;s a buzz of entrepreneurship and creative professionals all around us. People love the different conference rooms and meeting options, along with a quiet and professional place to build their companies with flexible options to grow. We are owner operated and want you to succeed!</p>

<h2>What was the biggest challenge your business has ever faced doing coworking space in Menlo Park and what was learned from it?</h2>

<p>Getting found. Marketing and building our &ldquo;brand&rdquo; sure comes with its challenges. We continue to learn and have fun exploring and testing new ways to connect to our target market.</p>

<h2>Tell us about a defining &lsquo;aha!&rsquo; moment (if there was a particular moment) where your company experienced noticeable growth.</h2>

<p>For the first 6 months the space was open, I was working another full time job while Meg was managing the space and growing her practice. Once her practice grew a bit more I left my job to run and manage Innerstate full time. We are owner operated and it&rsquo;s been an incredible journey so far.</p>
</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>
<h2>What do you think is the most important component in maintaining a creative and motivated environment in your workspace?</h2>

<p>Interaction with your members. Get to know them and learn from them. People work in different ways. So being open to suggestions and adjusting along the way is key. You have to be able to move and react. The space should constantly be reinvented to maximize its full potential to meet the needs of the community.</p>

<h2>What are some misconceptions about your industry?</h2>

<p>That it&rsquo;s a fad. I believe it&rsquo;s here to stay. Long term traditional leases just don&rsquo;t make as much sense anymore. Not for small startups or companies looking to open up remote locations.</p>

<h2>What&rsquo;s exciting news that you have observed recently in Menlo Park?</h2>

<p>There are a lot of companies moving into the area as some of the other towns around are getting full. As Mountain View and Palo Alto continue to get over saturated, Menlo Park is another great place to build a business and have direct access to all that Silicon Valley has to offer.</p>

<h2>What can you tell us about your workspace that we couldn&rsquo;t find out anywhere else?</h2>

<p>We are owner operated which helps set us apart from others. Meg and I designed the space and put together every piece of furniture ourselves. We truly are building Innerstate from the ground up and has been a fun journey. We&rsquo;re here to build community and help individuals and companies do their best work! We love connecting with our members and getting to know them and what their passion projects are that they&rsquo;re working on. Oh and we always have a full candy bowl!</p>

<h2>How do you envision the future?</h2>

<p>We&rsquo;re looking toward continued growth and expansion. Continuing to blur the lines between mental health and wellness and big business. Making it more mainstream and accepted to focus on as part of a business&rsquo;s culture. We want to continue growing our community and promoting Innerstate in multiple locations as a place where anyone is welcome to work on themselves and their business. We take care of the office space so people can focus solely on growing their businesses!</p>

<h2>Why did you choose Autonomous?</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/" >Autonomous</a>&nbsp;has been great. We have over 50 desks, chairs, and filing cabinets throughout the space. We have the white/white desks and some gray and green chairs. They are clean and sturdy looking. They really give the space a professional aesthetic. Members rave about the stand/sit capabilities and is utilized quite often. The price point is great for the quality of the desk you get. As we continue to expand, Autonomous will be the first place I go to help furnish Innerstate.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>With our focus on making it easy for people to do the right things, we change the dynamic for everyone, including our founders, leaders, and employees.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>A feel-good t-shirt and accessory apparel brand founded by 2 brothers in 1994, &#39;<a href="https://www.lifeisgood.com/" rel="nofollow" >Life is Good</a>&#39;&nbsp;took a simple yet sometimes overlooked idea and nurtured it into a burgeoning business. Illustrating an inspiring can-do story the world needs more of, their brand and their unique approach to office culture is something that we can all learn and grow from.</p>

<div>
<h2>What is unique about your company?</h2>

<p>Every company, every brand, every organization is unique. What makes Life is Good unique is that, unlike many founder-led start-ups, we&rsquo;ve grown and thrived, still dedicated to the same mission, with the founders still here to inspire us daily. While we love change and the challenges that come with it, we are clear and focused on what will never change. We have co-created a brand and a belief system with a timeless message expressed through original art and shared with the world on &ldquo;canvasses&rdquo; known as t-shirts, hats and other products.</p>

<h2>What are you most proud of regarding your team?</h2>

<p>I am grateful (and proud) to be part of several teams.<br />
The Good Vibe Tribe is our name for the global community of Optimists who believe what we believe: Life is good and optimism is a choice. When we choose to see the good in ourselves, others and the world, we have a healthier, happier life. I&rsquo;m excited to have found &ldquo;my tribe&rdquo; and to know we transcend any label normally applied to humans. And maybe extraterrestrials, who knows.<br />
The Life is Good team &mdash; 180 of us &mdash; work to spread the power of Optimism. We are a tiny force for good in the world. I love the range of smiles and stories I get when I tell people where I work. I&rsquo;m proud that we always strive to use our Superpowers (Openness, Gratitude, Courage, Fun, Humor, Creativity, Compassion, Simplicity, Authenticity and Love) at work.</p>

<p>The Optimistic People Team is our name for what other companies call Human Resources. There are 5 of us and, together, we make it easy for our people to do the right things. I think of us as the oil in the engine of Life is Good. We don&rsquo;t need to be the shiny paint or the hood ornament on the vehicle of our brand. We get to quietly and seamlessly make everything else work well.<br />
The Playmaker Team &mdash; our social mission of 25 years supports those who are the &ldquo;playmakers&rdquo; in the lives of children struggling with the impact of poverty, violence and illness. Every employee is trained to be a Playmaker. This amazing connection strengthens our culture and our commitment to one another in ways words can&rsquo;t express.</p>

<h2>In your view, what was the biggest challenge your business ever faced and what was learned from it?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="LIG" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/13._Life_is_Good_bb2bdaa9809.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></p>

<p>We have big challenges every year. Bring &rsquo;em on! They make us think and debate and challenge and learn and be intentional about our actions. Not comfortable but very necessary.<br />
The biggest challenge we face &mdash; and we&rsquo;re rising to the challenge every day &mdash; is staying true to our vision and mission. We have so many options to use the Life is Good name for causes, on products, in the news &mdash; and we are strategic about what to pursue. We choose the conversations we join. We choose the business we will walk away from because it may not line up with our values. We&rsquo;ve made mistakes and have learned at least as much from them as we do from the good decisions we&rsquo;ve made.</p>

<h2>How do you maintain positivity amongst your team?</h2>

<p>I have a secret algorithm I use when hiring team members. It&rsquo;s something I learned as an imaginative 8-year-old desperately trying to make magical potions from household ingredients like cornstarch and toothpaste.<br />
You can&rsquo;t get out what you don&rsquo;t put in. We hire people who are happy, curious and smart. Happy people look for reasons to be happy. We have plenty for them to see. When you work with happy people, you&rsquo;re more likely to be happy, too. Happy is magical in the workplace. Smiles are the international symbol of &ldquo;I&rsquo;m glad to see you!&rdquo;.<br />
Curious people ask questions constantly and they usually start with &ldquo;why&rdquo;. They are the root-cause finders and the problem-solvers a scrappy brand needs to get stuff done. Smart people, if happy and curious, make us feel good about everything. Human nature, genetics, the future of the world. Gotta have them around. When you work with smart people, you learn constantly.<br />
If we hire well and bring smart, happy, curious people to Life is Good with those three characteristics, they will smile, learn and grow. The company can&rsquo;t grow if people won&rsquo;t.</p>
</div>

<h2>What are some misconceptions about your area of expertise?</h2>

<p>It depends on who you ask. Sometimes the function formerly known as HR gets a bad rap. We may be viewed as the corporate version of the principal&rsquo;s office or the police station. We are often the most heavily-regulated function and it can be daunting for an entrepreneurial leader to navigate all the laws and potential legal hazards of hiring and employing people. With our focus on making it easy for people to do the right things, we change the dynamic for everyone, including our founders, leaders, and employees. It guides our choices for technology, workplace enhancements, communication &mdash; everything.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/" >Autonomous</a>&nbsp;is an example of one of our better choices. By designing affordable, functional, ergonomically correct workspaces people love to use, we created a huge win for our team.</p>

<h2>Tell us about a defining &lsquo;aha!&rsquo; moment where your company experienced growth &mdash; financially or culturally.</h2>

<p>I love telling this story! We were in the second year of the search for our first ever President. We sought a leader who would grasp the depth of our message and social mission. Someone who demonstrated all ten Superpowers. A leader who had led businesses and people to accomplish more than they thought possible. We found her under our noses. Lisa Tanzer had been a volunteer for our Kids Foundation from inception. She went on to create a successful career in marketing, branding, and leadership. We hired her to run marketing for a year and got to know her through the way she led the team every day. As the search progressed, we found ourselves comparing every candidate to Lisa. When we announced her promotion to President, everyone jumped up and cheered! Since she became President, we have achieved measurable improvements in our culture, our business results and have reinstated a bonus plan for every employee.</p>

<h2>How would you describe your company culture in a sentence?</h2>

<p>The conversation is the culture and is co-created by everyone who works here, every day.</p>

<h2>What can you tell us about your company that we couldn&rsquo;t find out anywhere else?</h2>

<p>Lots of us love to sing and make music. Few of us are any good at either. We have a house band at work. The members (and the music) change as people come and go. We&rsquo;re hoping for a sax player soon.</p>

<h2>Why did you choose Autonomous?</h2>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="LIG" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210903/13._Life_is_Good_c8fe4e0b708.jpg" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

<p>We were looking for one source that could provide simple, attractive, affordable, adaptable, ergonomic, height-adjustable, non-staining, durable workstations and seating for 180 people who never agree on anything. Sound like fun? Nope.<br />
The office furniture in our Boston office was gorgeous and uncomfortable, impractical, hard to use, impossible to clean and generated more complaints than any other aspect of our work environment. In Hudson, New Hampshire, our workstations had been around for decades and it showed. Our quest: make everyone happy with one option.<br />
We scoured the globe and found Autonomous, then a start-up with a great product. To our delight, our CEO loved the modern look and before anyone could ask any questions, we made the commitment to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks" >standing desks</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs" >egonomic chairs</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-accessories/anti-fatigue-mat" >standing mats</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-stool" >ergonomic stools</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-accessories/filing-cabinet" >filing cabinets</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-accessories/cable-tray" >cable trays</a>&nbsp;and more.<br />
In our next Culture Survey, our people told us how much they appreciate their new workstations. We achieved the impossible and satisfied everyone except one dude who insisted on keeping his old chair. Not bad.</p>

<h2>How do you envision the future?</h2>

<p>That is one of my favorite questions! I believe in the innate goodness and unstoppable creativity of humans. Our future, like our past, will be full of surprises that, today, we can only imagine.<br />
Just 15 years ago, we had a separate device for each of these activities: making a call, reading a book, taking a photo, listening to music, navigating a city, paying for purchases, measuring our heart rate, composing a song, watching a movie and shining a light on our keyhole at night. Now? We do it all &mdash; sometimes simultaneously &mdash; with one device that fits in a pocket.<br />
The problems that plague us as a human community today will be solved by the generations taking the baton from our hands. I believe optimism will be the fuel for our fantastic future.</p>

<h2>WHO WE ARE - What are we about? How do we fix current marketing problems? How can we help you?</h2>

Our digital marketing services including Digital PR, Content Creation, SEO, Paid Ads including Facebook Ads &amp; Google Adwords, Social Media, Web Design, &amp; Conversion Optimization.</p>

<h2>USING TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE AN OBJECTIVE IMPACT ON MARKETING</h2>

<p>Technology has helped impact many different industries but surprisingly, digital marketing agencies are furthest from the bunch. That&rsquo;s because most marketing firms don&rsquo;t believe in investing in R &amp; D and focus primarily on their talent.<br />
What makes us different? Simple, we focus on Data. Data allows us to objectively define our campaigns impact on your business especially when it comes to important decisions.<br />
The technology coupled with our focus on gathering objective data means you have transparency into your marketing.</p>

<h2>SUCCEEDING WHERE TRADITIONAL MARKETING FAILS</h2>

<p>Traditional marketing agencies rely on outdated project management &amp; simple team collaborations. This fundamentally cripples their teams to strategize and execute effectively and to give each client a unique approach to their brand.<br />
Our core project management solution integrates with all facets of our team members campaigns.<br />
For example, our agency has implemented an algorithm that allows us to quickly iterate our Facebook ad campaigns and lets the system learn and select the best-performing ads. This data is then linked directly to our project management solution, updating our management team of the progress.<br />
We also take your data and integrate it into your own custom reporting dashboard which highlights the most important KPI metrics &amp; Goals related to your business.</p>

<h2>WHAT DRIVES US</h2>

<p>Our agency is focused on providing aggressive growth strategies to our clients and showcasing our teams experience. We believe that the best growth happens when technology and the human touch coincide.</p>

<h2>FINANCIAL GROWTH</h2>

<p>Our initial campaigns take client goals into consideration and include providing a plan to tackle their most pressing needs.<br />
We set specific goals and work to achieve them every month.</p>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="financial growth" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/1._brenton-way_b8998efc1f8.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></div>

<h2>CLIENT EXPERIENCE</h2>

<p>The integrations in our agency have allowed us to spend more time speaking with clients. Our clients receive Slack access to their teammates all days within the week and can discuss the most important parts of their marketing.<br />
Their campaigns are constantly monitored and their reportings are done in one place so they have full transparency.</p>

<h2>AN AWARD WINNING MARKETING AGENCY IS A PLUS</h2>

<p>Award-winning means that our campaigns have helped our clients consistently grow their digital marketing goals.<br />
We present specific goals when we engage and look at innovative ways of reaching each KPI. We pride ourselves in our unique approach to digital marketing.</p>

<h2>WHAT&rsquo;S NEXT? WELCOME TO ADD-ON MODULES</h2>

<p>Our agency has taken a big step forward in digital marketing. We&rsquo;re starting to implement what are called &ldquo;add-on modules&rdquo; for clients campaigns. Add-on Modules are growth platforms turned solutions that are fully-implemented and managed by our agency. One of our newest add-ons is called &ldquo;Written to Video&rdquo; which can turn your&nbsp;<a href="http://initiate.ai/" rel="nofollow" >written content into new engaging videos</a>.<br />
This addition of media to any webpage satisfies the people who are interested in the proposed content but might become disinterested when they realize the article is longer than they expected. Anyone will take time to watch an informative video as long as its digestible and quick.</p>

<h2>HOW AUTONOMOUS HAS MADE AN IMPACT ON PRODUCTIVITY</h2>

<p>Testimonial from our Founder &amp; CEO, Jonathan Saeidian:&nbsp;<em>&ldquo;Our team has improved our productivity by 10% using the Autonomous SmartDesk 2 and ErgoChair 2 allowing us to complete more project tasks &amp; improve performance for our clients&rsquo; marketing campaigns&rdquo;<br />
The desk allows us to stay focused. The best type of office is the one you don&rsquo;t know is actually.<br />
The assembly process took an hour to put together and allowed us to get straight to work with no downtime.<br />
Our team has been more productive at work and is able to move freely between their desks and other offices. It easily allows you to go from a sitting position to a standing position using the presets found on the desk itself.</em></p>

<p><a href="https://feedonomics.com/" rel="nofollow" >Feedonomics</a>&nbsp;combines best-in-class technology and service to list your products everywhere people shop online, including Google Shopping, Amazon, and Facebook.<br />
Our HQ is in Los Angeles, but we have offices around the world in Denver, Texas, North Carolina, Australia, and Manilla. Our full-service team of over 150 helps many of the world&rsquo;s most prolific advertising agencies and brands, including over 30% of the top 1,000 internet retailers.<br />
We are one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://feedonomics.com/feedonomics-selected-in-top-100-on-the-2019-inc-5000-list-of-americas-fastest-growing-private-companies/" rel="nofollow" >top 100 fastest growing companies in America</a>, and my brother and Cofounder, Robert, recently got awarded Forbes 30 under 30.</p>

<h2>Tell Me a bit about the Founder&#39;s Journey...leading up to the Launch of Feedonomics? What Would You Say Uniquely Positions You and the Founding Team to Have the Desire and Expertise to Create This Platform?</h2>

<p>Our story started when my brother Robert and I were working at a large agency in Los Angeles, managing advertising campaigns and product data for over 50 large retailers, including some very large publicly traded companies, whose stock price relied on our work! We tested and tried every legacy product feed platform out there in the marketplace. We became increasingly frustrated when we experienced firsthand the shortcomings of those platforms. Some of them were incredibly slow and couldn&rsquo;t handle any kind of meaningful scale and others had terrible support. You would ask a question, and they wouldn&rsquo;t answer it for a week, meanwhile your performance is suffering, and you could be out tens of thousands of dollars in revenue.<br />
Armed with this knowledge, and the fact that my brother and I are software engineers, we set out with the vision of creating the leading feed platform in the industry.<br />
We quickly realized that other agencies, brands, and retailers have the exact same problems that we had, and Feedonomics was born. We lived the challenges, and solved our own problem, so our pitch was very compelling.<br />
It was a challenge in the beginning. We aren&rsquo;t backed by any kind of venture capital. The money we put into this business came from our own pockets and we continue to reinvest in the business. Every major decision we made was carefully weighed. Our persistence paid off and we have made great strides since our early days.<br />
There have been some growing pains related to our rapid growth (no pun intended) but we have taken these lessons and created a unique company, not only in terms of the groundbreaking technology and service that we provide, but in our commitment to our culture.</p>

<h2>How Would You Describe Your Company Culture? How Do You Maintain a Strong Company Culture Focused on a Common Goal with a Fast-growing Team?</h2>

<p>We have an amazing&nbsp;<a href="https://feedonomics.com/feedonomics-selected-in-top-100-on-the-2019-inc-5000-list-of-americas-fastest-growing-private-companies/" rel="nofollow" >company culture</a>&nbsp;that we came up with before we hired a single employee, and we based it on one of the most successful sports teams of all time, the New Zealand All Blacks. Despite hailing from a country with such a low population, this team has managed to have the highest win-rate of any rugby team, and it&rsquo;s all based on their unique culture.<br />
Our first principle is &ldquo;Sweeping the sheds&rdquo;, which is based on the All Blacks team captain being the one who cleans the lockerroom (shed) after a game, not a janitor! Can you imagine LeBron James staying to clean the locker room after a game? Think about the example it sets for everyone else.<br />
We&rsquo;ve been able to achieve an incredibly collaborative environment with other principles where leaders are teachers, and teachers are leaders.</p>

<h2>How Do You Maintain a Competitive Advantage Over Competitors?</h2>

<p>Constantly staying hungry and going for the gap (one of our culture principles)<br />
Many other legacy feed systems were created in the early 2000s, and just stopped innovating, caring, and even using their own systems. Because our team &ldquo;eats our own dogfood&rdquo;, we are constantly improving the experience and making our platform better and more powerful.</p>

<h2>What is the Future of Product Data Optimization?</h2>

<p>More intelligent automation. Our engineering team now consists of 20, and we&rsquo;re constantly working on new features that let you do more with less effort.<br />
One of the biggest challenges with product feeds and optimization is categorization. Every channel has thousands of different categories, and it can easily take dozens of hours to categorize your products for each channel.<br />
We&rsquo;ve been working on game-changing Artificial Intelligence that does it for you with insanely high accuracy.<br />
I&rsquo;m actually really fortunate to be working with my dad, who is our Chief Scientist. He is one of the most prolific pioneers in the field of AI, and was previously on a Turing award winning team (that&rsquo;s the Nobel Prize in Computer Science), and created chess algorithms that IBM used to defeat Gary Kasparov in chess.</p>

<h2>What Benefits If Any, Have Our Autonomous Products Brought to Your Workspace?</h2>

<p>We have dozens of happy users of the Autonomous smart standing desks, and they absolutely love it.<br />
Not only do our employees improve their posture, but they also have better abilities to collaborate when standing as there is more room to have a few people huddle around one desk.<br />
We also get fantastic support from the Autonomous team. When we moved to a larger office last year, a few power cables were lost, and the Autonomous support team got new ones over to us incredibly quickly!</p>

<div>3Q Digital Secret to Success: Better talent = better performance = more clients = a healthy and supportive company.</div>
</blockquote>

<p>Specializing in optimized strategy, execution, and ongoing performance,&nbsp;<a href="https://3qdigital.com/" rel="nofollow" >3Q Digital</a>&nbsp;has played a key role in a growing number of companies getting a leg up in the digital space since 2008. While expanding across the globe, they have managed to maintain the same level of high-quality standards for both their customers and their team, most recently being named in 2019&rsquo;s Inc. Best Work-Places. We recently discussed with the VP of Marketing, Hillary Reed, to get some more insight into their business and what helps them stand out.</p>

<div>
<h2>In your view, what has separated and helped 3Q Digital stand out from other growth marketing agencies? What is the secret ingredient that has attracted so many big companies to use your services?</h2>

<p>We started out as one of the best SEM agencies around and quickly built a great client base of innovative companies in the Silicon Valley. That foundation and drive to disrupt, optimize quickly, and stay ahead of the industry curve has served us very well in building a base of growth-oriented clients with the same mindset. We offer tons of services now, including many beyond paid media, and all are focused on helping clients grow through innovation.</p>

<h2>How did you come up with the name 3Q Digital?</h2>

<p>Our previous incarnation was PPC Associates. In 2013, we went through a big rebranding process because the old name was a bit limiting &ndash; we didn&rsquo;t want to be known as simply a paid media company. We landed on 3Q Digital because it encompassed EQ (emotional quotient), IQ (intelligence quotient), and XQ (executional quotient), all of which we believed helped set us apart as an agency. We rebranded as 3Q Digital in September of 2013.</p>

<div><img alt="3q b" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/5._3q-digital_b6a2cc23436.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></div>

<h2>Tell us about the defining moment where your company experienced growth. (Sharing growth strategy or experience)</h2>

<p>It&rsquo;s not one moment, although there have been big client wins (both helping existing clients grow and signing new clients) and really transformational hires that have helped us build foundational teams and services. I would say we&rsquo;re currently in a moment; we&rsquo;ve been recognized on Forrester&rsquo;s first-ever Performance Wave, we just hired a president who helped build iProspect into a global agency, we got a huge growth investment earlier in the year, and we&rsquo;ve received recent recognition in Inc.com, Adweek, and TechCrunch. All of that has been made possible by the growth-focused performance we&rsquo;ve provided to our clients.</p>

<h2>How have you managed to maintain the same values and high-quality service as you scale and expand across the country?</h2>

<p>That&rsquo;s a huge question. Our HR team should get a ton of the credit there; the culture they&rsquo;ve instilled has been a genuinely massive component of our growth and allowed us to hire and retain top talent. Our Training team has also been instrumental in making sure our Client Services team is all working with the same standards and processes.</p>

<h2>What are you most proud of regarding your team?</h2>

<p>I&rsquo;ve worked at 3Q since 2011 &ndash; longer than I&rsquo;ve been at any other company &ndash; and when I look back at where we were when I joined (two offices, maybe 30 people) and compare that to where we are now (12 offices, 320 or so people, more media spend under management than any other independent agency), I really think I&rsquo;m proudest of the careers 3Q has developed and the people we can say have contributed. The 3Q team &ndash; even folks who have moved on &ndash; is really an incredible group of smart, talented, committed people.</p>

<div><img alt="3q c" loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/5._3q-digital_cbf815347bd.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></div>

<h2>What is the biggest challenge your team ever faced and what was learned from it?</h2>

<p>I&rsquo;d say the biggest challenge was our acquisition by Harte Hanks in 2015. That forced us to learn how to navigate working with a big, slow-moving company whose culture was a definite mismatch. We got through it and continued to grow to the point where our executive team purchased the agency back in 2018, but I think it taught all of us how important it is to make sure values, goals, and culture are aligned whenever organizations come together. A big part of our culture is working to improve the communities where we live. This initiative is called 3Q3% - every office is encouraged to spend 3% of its time each month giving back to the community.</p>

<h2>How would you describe your company culture in a sentence? And how do you ensure your core values are aligned with your team?</h2>

<p>I&rsquo;d describe the culture as the reason folks stay at 3Q and the product of a ton of work in soliciting and actually listening to feedback. Our HR team has been incredibly focused on creating a culture that lets every office develop its own character, enables every 3Qer to feel supported, keeps our execs accessible, and fosters inclusivity and a diverse range of viewpoints. Our core values (Own It, Do the Math, Innovate, Act for the Greater Good, and Everyone Is a Client) are in the forefront of every initiative; I would guess 90% of the company could name those values off the top of their head if asked.</p>
</div>
</div>

<div>
<h2>How did it feel to be listed amongst annual &lsquo;Inc. Best Places to Work&rsquo; in 2019?</h2>

<p>It felt like a reflection of the work we&rsquo;ve done to make 3Q a great place to work. That award is based solely on employee submissions and feedback, which is the truest measure you can get of a workplace.</p>

<h2>What do you think is the secret behind building the best place to work and how did 3Q Digital manage to get listed when marketing agencies are notoriously stressful places to work?</h2>

<p>Our benefits and perks have evolved over the years with employee feedback and suggestions, which is something I know not every agency can say.</p>

<h2>What would you say is the incentive for acquiring and retaining such talented people?</h2>

<h2>How do you maintain productivity in your office?</h2>

<h2>What can you tell us about your company that we couldn&rsquo;t find anywhere else?</h2>

<p>Located in Chicago,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thirdcoastinteriors.net/" rel="nofollow" >Third Coast Interiors</a>&nbsp;is a full service Interior Architecture and Design Studio, led by Guinevere Johnson. Their work centers around site-specific details, architectural interventions, and material exploration. They work with each client to create lasting environments that are unique to their personal vision and lifestyle, ensuring that each space is as functional as it is beautiful. Knowing Third Coast Interiors use our SmartDesk and ErgoChair to build office space for Panopta&nbsp;<a href="https://www.panopta.com/" rel="nofollow" >Panopta</a>&nbsp;- the SaaS company also based in Chicago, we have interviewed Guinevere to get valuable insights behind this project. FYI, Panopta is changing the way businesses monitor their network, servers, and applications with our advanced infrastructure monitoring platform.</p>

<div>
<p>Tell us about your company?</p>

<p>We are a Chicago-based Design Studio interested in creating individual spaces that speak to the history and culture of the people inhabiting them.</p>

<h2>What is the inspiration behind Panopta project?</h2>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="third coast" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/9._third-coast-interiors_bb3c247a098.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></div>

<p>We focused on the history and site of the company, including:<br />
- Local &amp; Global at the same time.<br />
- Always Operating.<br />
- Panopta Never Sleeps.<br />
Then we find a place for the individual within the greater context of the company culture while supporting the comfort and well-being of the individual so that they can bring their best selves to the collaboration space. Especially when thinking about creating a place that have better collaboration, we think of the concepts that office desks can come together to create pods.</p>

<h2>What do you find most challenging about doing&nbsp;office design&nbsp;for a tech company?</h2>

<p><img loading="lazy" alt="third coast" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/9._third-coast-interiors_c17afcd0f01.jpg" /></p>

<p>The most challenging aspect for this commercial design project was the turnaround time in which we had to complete it. We were grateful to have a vendor like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/" >Autonomous</a>&nbsp;that let us ensure the essentials were in on time so the office could function without pause.<br />
One of the specific and diverse individual needs but also needs to be a space which fosters collective collaboration between team pods (specific types of collaboration) within an open office plan which can also grow in the future.</p>

<h2>What&rsquo;s your advice for companies who want to create ideal office workspace to maximize employees&rsquo; productivity and health?</h2>

<p>Light &amp; plants and art.</p>

<h2>Why did you choose the SmartDesk and ErgoChair&nbsp;for Panopta&rsquo;s projects?</h2>

<div><img loading="lazy" alt="third coast" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210901/9._third-coast-interiors_d1413d14c10.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" /></div>

<p>The flexibility in function and cleaniness in aesthetic appealed most to us. We think that Autonomous embraces individual flexibility as their office desks and chairs are ergonomic designed to maximize comfort for employees in workplaces. . Specializing in interior designs for both residential and commercial market for a long time, we knew what not to do based on pieces that had not worked. These pieces greatly appealed to Co-Founders Shabbir Karimi and Jason Abate due to adjustability and flexibility. Compared to conventional office furniture, Autonomous desks and chairs are totally different. They have a clean aesthetic, are functional and flexible. We love the sit to stand feature on the desks!</p>

Growth and a commitment to ergonomic solutions are key to Chicago-based Third Coast Interiors’ successful handling of uncertain economic times.
