Why We Stopped Paying £10,000 for Smart Homes (Do This Instead)
What do the billionaire founder of Revolut, the guy who sold Innocent Smoothies for £700,000,000, and a £150 smart light switch all have in common? In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of an exclusive tech investor event at the Dyson Engineering Building. We were literally sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with billionaire Vlad Yatsenko and Richard Reed, listening to the brutal, unfiltered reality of what it actually takes to build a massive global empire. We share the hilarious £25,000 translation mistake Innocent Smoothies made when launching in Paris, the "bin" strategy they used to quit their jobs, and the raw truth about surviving when you don't know if your business will make it to tomorrow. Plus, we reveal the ultimate smart-home hack for UK developers: the Tewke "Tap" switch. Created by the guy who built a castle on Grand Designs, this £150 piece of tech is completely replacing traditional, wildly expensive property automation systems, and we are going to start putting it in our own developments. We are Ben and Jack, a property developer duo and serial entrepreneurs based in the UK.
