In this episode, the FAQ is: How do I manage increasing technology and security for travel? Today's Destination is: Milan, Italy Today's Misstep- I almost took a train to Switzerland at the Milan station Travel Advice: Bring a handheld portable fan for the heat. It can be oppressive. FAQ: The level of technology and security has stepped up for travel and entertainment. How do I manage it as a senior citizen in a very busy world? Answer: There is a growing level of distrust in today's environment. For some venues, you can no longer use a screenshot of a QR code to access a ticket, so it must be a live link if you don't have the paper ticket. If you are not on Wi-Fi, you may have trouble accessing the venue, like I did in July at the Symphony, where we used handwritten paper tickets. The Crowdstrike tech shutdown of computers in July 2024, with thousands of airline flights canceled, was a peek into what could be an even longer period of shutting down air travel, train travel, and more. So, you need to develop options for adapting your transportation. Get educated. The questions will keep coming, but you can figure it out. Keep listening here for more confidence-building guidance. Today's destination: Milan, Italy Milan is in northern Italy and is known for its history, culture, and fashion. Many styles originate here, so people-watching is a favorite activity. The famous Duomo Cathedral, a Catholic Church, is in the city's center. I walked around twice to get the full picture and people-watch. I also did some pigeon watching, as there were plenty of them here in this vast square, filled with tourists in the middle of July. Metro stops were plentiful below the square, and the church filled the plaza. People are walking above the church's structure, near the roof, and you can see them below. Shopping: You can shop at great stores, especially in the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II. It's great even just for looking for fashion ideas. Tip 2: Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Timestamps: [3:20] Tell us more about your journey: you have founded Casavo and studied globally. You've worked at one of the leading consultancies, Boston Consulting Group on digital transformation. Where did your passion for residential tech come from? I grew up in a small village close to Florence with a family of small entrepreneurs. My passion for real estate and entrepreneurship came from my dad. During my studies abroad I met several startups and I joined some of them as an intern. After my studies, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur but I hadn't found that big opportunity yet so after working for 3 years in consulting, I was looking at what was happening in the residential markets globally and in Europe and there hadn't been a lot of innovation over the last 10 years so I decided to found Casavo. I had a passion for the intersection between the real estate world and the technology world. [5:15] Fausto, you started out in the marketing world and have now moved over to product as the CPO. Can you tell us a little about the product as well as how you made that transition and if you have any tips for people looking to make that transition? Before joining Casavo, I had a career in product and it had been mainly in travel. A few months after Casavo launched, Giorgio was looking for someone in marketing and I had a bit of experience in that so I decided to start at Casavo in marketing. After 2 years, it was time for serious and important investment in technology so I moved over. Coming from marketing, I had a lot of understanding of some dynamics and that would have been harder to get if I was just a product person. What we offer to the markets is the ability to receive a purchase offer on their property without any kind of human interactions. [7:40] Who was your first major client that you brought on board? It's a consumer platform, not a B2B platform. We really understood that in Europe, it's a sellers' market so there is no presentation, everything starts from the seller. We started with a very strong and disruptive value proposition in order to solve the issue of a very lengthy, inefficient, and inconvenient traditional selling process. We did so by changing the paradigm; proposing ourselves to buy the home directly in a matter of days, instead of going through the whole process. Our first clients were the first family who sold us their apartment in Milan. [9:25] Let's talk about your series C, you raised €200 million led by Exor Seeds. You also have some other good investors including 360 Capital, Picus Capital and Greenoaks Capital. What were some of the major challenges when you looked to raise and how did you go about it? There were three key challenges; Digitalisation in real estate is really green. The number of investors that were willing to be the first one betting on that category were few. We started with a very asset-heavy model that requires a certain level of understanding of the balance sheet dynamics and the residential dynamics in order to not be skirted by volatility. We are a leading technology company in Italy, but the ecosystem is pretty underdeveloped if you compare it to other markets. It always starts with the team and with a clear vision and executing that vision well. [12:10] Why was the product so successful in Italy? You have expanded to Spain, what are the differences in what the buyers and sellers want? Do you have to change your marketing technique from country to country? We are the first movers with the AVM (automated valuation for models) so we were the first ones in Italy to provide free, online real-time valuations of residential properties. We added to that a very strong value proposition, which was you as a sender can sell immediately to us and you don't have to look for a buyer. The residential stock in Italy is generally quite old and we propose to customers renovated, nice looking apartments. There are some differences but what we want to do is to build a European platform, a single platform in terms of product but of course, there are some local nuances both in terms of product development and in terms of marketing. [16:35] How long does it take to buy a property in Italy? In terms of selling a property in the large, metropolitan cities in Italy, the time needed is around six months. More or less the same applies to Southern Europe in general. [18:30] Do you have some exciting news to share with us about a potential launch into a different market? We have just launched in our third country, Portugal. We started our internationalisation journey in the beginning of 2020 in Spain. [19:40] How have you managed to grow your headcount over 300 people and what are your cultural values? It was a hyper-growth journey and it still is. My personal mission from the beginning was to be able to have an impact on the market, be the category-defining business, but with a strong team and building really a talent hub within our markets, all sharing the same vision from the very beginning and being focused on executing on that vision. I was always keen on investing in human capital before technology and business. When you are growing at the speed of light, launching new products, new markets, you cannot afford processes. You have to trust people, you have to empower your team and let them do what they think is the best for the company. We have our list of values and we live and breathe them in every way: Focus on customers: our customers come first and we want to create long-term value for them. Share the drive to innovate Learn to adapt: continuous, direct, upfront feedback [23:15] Is there any advice you would give to an aspiring entrepreneur? Just jump and do it - if you start to analyse everything and overthink it, it's not going to work. Be optimistic - turn challenges into opportunities [25:15] What's next for the Casavo products? Are you planning or developing any new technologies? There are a lot of existing technologies that should be applied to old problems. The challenge is to be able to make portfolio-based decisions and market-based decisions for our investments, rather than transaction-based ones and we have to keep in mind changing consumer preferences that will affect the price properties. [28:40] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about: Lessons learned in your career Change and self-development are very important. Mention a person, product or service A company in the FinTech industry called Scallop. Rewarding parts of working in the space: To start with no understanding of this industry, which is very complex with a lot of incumbent players, very traditional. Thinking about how to solve problems for our customers within this industry with an out-of-the-box and naive approach. What are you most Excited about for the future of the space?: The next three to five years will lead to a substantial change in the real estate market and we have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this change.

Bobby Pickles welcomes the Vampirates/Boss’ Daughter frontman (and a thousand other bands) “in-studio” once again in a pinch as a last minute replacement for Elena Venetia who was busy with her dude doing V-day shit.

Salt Lake City pop-punk outfit Problem Daughter signs with Dying Scene Records. Chris says, “always drink before you tune, that’s the trick, depending on where your priorities lie.” No Doubt/AFI should form a Hardcore band called “Some Doubt” - joke stolen from Entropy NY’s Brian Lawrence.Fuck cowbell, more bass.

One vinyl hour of Drum & Bass for you! Recorded during the Beats 'n Breaks radioshow. (http://www.nauticradio.net/beatsnbreaks) Beats 'n Breaks is not only a radio show, but is a group of people that also hosts freeparties. They started their show on a Wednesday somewhere in 2008, and are still doing so today. The music Beats 'n Breaks plays is similar on both the radio show and the freeparties, and ranges from Drum & Bass to Tekno, but also from Breakcore to Hiphop to Punk. You can find the Beats 'n Breaks crew around Groningen, but they've also played in the rest of the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy (Milan), Spain etc. Where the DJs are usually restricted to a certain music style on a party, the radio shows offers them all freedom to go from popular music to the most underground music you've heard. (http://beatsnbreaks.nl/) PS: I'm feeling kinda lazy; If you are able to make a playlist to this set I will send you a bag of Dutch drop!
