On this episode of the Founderâs Story, guest host Vanessa Antonio interviews Nikolaus Thomale, who explains how Myne Homes is closing the gap between the dream of owning a second home and the reality that very few people do. They discuss the barriersâaffordability, underutilization, and complexityâand illustrate how Myneâs fractional co-ownership model overcomes them. Nikolaus clarifies how this differs from traditional timeshares, and details the resale process. The conversation wraps with a look at Myne Homesâ growth, the possibility of a future IPO, and how interested buyers can easily get started.
Key Topics & Discussion PointsThe Desire vs. Reality of Second Home OwnershipUnmet Demand: According to Nikolaus over half the population dreams of owning a second home, yet fewer than 2% do so.Three Main Barriers:Affordability: Luxury vacation homes have a steep price tag, particularly in prime European locations.Underutilization: Second homes typically sit empty up to 80% of the year, wasting resources.Complexity: Managing property from afarâacross different jurisdictions, tax regimes, and languagesâdeters many would-be buyers.The Myne Homes SolutionFractional Co-Ownership: Up to eight individuals share ownership of a high-end property, making it attainable at a fraction of the cost.Full-Service Management: Myne Homes handles everything from maintenance and furnishings to property management and owner storage, ensuring a seamless experience.Proven Track Record: With over âŹ100 million worth of homes sold and desirable European destinations such as Mallorca, Tuscany, and the Alps in its portfolio, Myne Homes helps owners enjoy premium properties without hassle.Buying from the U.S., UK, and BeyondGlobal Accessibility: Non-EU citizens, including those from the U.S. and UK, can invest in Myne Homes shares, circumventing many complex entry barriers into European real estate.Resale Made Easy: Owners selling their fraction can do so just like selling traditional real estate. Myne Homes supports the process, and many sellers have experienced appreciation for their investments.Not a TimeshareâReal Co-OwnershipOwnership of Property, Not Just Time: Unlike timeshares, Myne Homes buyers own a fraction of real estate.Hassle-Free Group Ownership: Think of co-owning with friends or family, but without the interpersonal complexities. Myne Homes manages all the logistics.Interest Rates and Market ConditionsA Model That Endures: The fractional model appeals in both low and high-interest-rate environments. When interest rates rise, purchasing a whole second home becomes even less attainable, making the Myne model more attractive.Looking Ahead: Potential IPO and Mission-Driven GrowthLong-Term Vision: Myne Homes addresses a massive âŹ4.9 trillion market of underutilized second homes.Possible Public Listing: While future steps depend on market timing and the companyâs maturity, an IPO could be on the horizon as Myne Homes scales.Getting Started with Myne HomesSimple, Digital Onboarding: Interested buyers can browse available properties at www.myne-homes.com.Immediate Enjoyment: Ownership can be completed in a matter of days, enabling new owners to start planning their first stay almost right away.

In this thought-provoking episode, host Daniel Robbins sits down with Kasim Aslam, founder of the world-renowned outsourcing agency Pareto Talent. Kasim shares his unconventional path in digital marketing, exploring the nuances of talent acquisition, the impact of AI, and the future of humanity in a tech-driven world. This episode uncovers the power of failure, the importance of luck in entrepreneurship, and Kasim's insights on data, digital transformation, and the value of relationships.
Key Segments:
Entry into Digital Marketing and the Power of Failure
Kasim describes his winding journey as a âmulti-time failed entrepreneurâ across various industries. After numerous attempts, he found his calling in digital marketing, a realm where he could build infrastructure without the pressure of business fulfillment. He candidly calls himself the âworldâs greatest failure,â attributing his ultimate success to persistence and learning from each setback.
The Impact of Luck and Perfect Timing
Kasim recounts his exit strategy from the Google Ads agency, where he received 50 unsolicited offers in one year, ultimately selling for a low eight-figure sum. He stresses that timing and luck played major roles in his success, a sentiment echoed by other successful entrepreneurs.
Transition After the Exit: Reflecting and Recharging
Kasim shares advice for post-exit entrepreneurs: prioritize âcash at closeâ and avoid long-term commitments immediately. He spent a year traveling, reconnecting with family, and focusing on his health before deciding his next venture.
Building Pareto Talent: The Art of People and Placement
Kasim discusses his passion for people, crediting his agency's success to his ability to find and nurture talented individuals. At Pareto Talent, he helps high-end entrepreneurs by connecting them with skilled executive assistants from emerging nations, creating a symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties.
The Simplicity of Data Analysis and Decision-Making
Known for his talent in simplifying data trends, Kasim explains how observing macro trends instead of micro details allowed him to time his exit and avoid the pitfalls of the agency model as the industry shifted. He encourages entrepreneurs to trust their instincts and focus on clear, visible patterns in data.
Navigating the Age of AI and Human Capital
With AI advancing rapidly, Kasim emphasizes the importance of focusing on tasks AI cannot replace. He notes that as AI amplifies efficiency, it also amplifies mediocrity. Therefore, businesses need skilled, insightful people to harness AI effectively, making human capital even more crucial.
Vision of the Future: Relationships with AI and Decline of Human Interaction
Kasim and Daniel discuss the potential future of human relationships, especially as AI becomes more integrated into daily life. Kasim shares his thoughts on emotional connections with AI, questioning whether relationships will remain interpersonal or shift to intrapersonal, with individuals projecting their own beliefs onto AI.
Returning to Simplicity and Human Connection
They explore a hypothetical future where technology fulfills all utilitarian needs, allowing people to return to simpler forms of human connection. Kasim suggests that instead of increasing digital dependency, the advancement of AI might encourage humans to unplug and reconnect with each other on a more primal level.
The Decline of the Need for Traditional Search and Work
Kasim predicts that as work and job-related searches decline in relevance due to AI, we may see a societal shift away from technology dependency toward simpler lifestyles. He relates this to the evolving human desire for purpose and fulfillment beyond just work and productivity.
Final Takeaway:
"AI and automation arenât the enemy; theyâre the next frontier. Success in this new era will come from those who embrace both technology and the unparalleled value of human insight and creativity."
Closing Remarks:
Daniel and Kasim wrap up the episode with a promise to delve deeper into existential topics in future conversations. Kasim shares his website, ParetoTalent.com, for listeners interested in learning more about his current projects or contacting him directly. He also invites listeners to subscribe to his newsletter for updates on his upcoming book.

Key Discussion Points:
The Genesis of Connected:After his previous company, RealSport, was acquired in 2018, Roei began advising and investing in startups. Observing recurring challenges around investor reporting and accessing talent networks, he noticed these two behaviors were strong indicators of a startupâs success.Connected was born to address these needs, using integrated technology to enable seamless investor reporting and talent discovery, allowing startups to build trust and accountability with investors while accessing the talent they need for growth.Connectedâs Approach to Investor Reporting and Talent Discovery:Connected integrates directly with startups' financial and commerce systems (e.g., QuickBooks, Stripe) to gather real-time, transaction-level data, which then populates comprehensive investor reports.The platform uses this data to identify specific needs within the company (e.g., expertise in marketing for a scaling fintech), making it easy to connect with the right talent at the right time, thus creating a supportive ecosystem for startups.Why Transparency and Accountability Matter:Roei emphasizes that transparency is critical but sees accountability as the true driver of success for startups. By ensuring that investors receive regular updates, founders stay focused on key metrics and essential growth drivers, helping them avoid distractions and stay on track.This approach builds investor confidence and keeps startups consistently focused on performance.Expanding into the U.S. Market:Connected recently launched in Miami and plans to expand into New York City. Roei shares how the U.S. market, with its entrepreneurial mindset and openness to innovation, has been incredibly receptive to Connectedâs mission.

The experience of letting go of his first company felt like an "identity death," a common post-exit challenge for many founders.This reflection led to the organic development of Connected, where Roei saw an opportunity to address fundamental needs in the startup ecosystem.Overcoming Challenges in Todayâs Funding Climate:In the current UK market, funding has decreased significantly, with many businesses pivoting to launch in the U.S. for more reliable funding opportunities.Connected helps these companies navigate new markets, providing data and insights that guide startups to approach growth, funding, and talent acquisition more effectively, even amidst economic uncertainty.Leveraging Data for Customer Success:Connected is launching a new AI-driven feature that uses startup data to provide actionable recommendations tailored to each businessâs needs and goals, such as reducing customer acquisition costs or enhancing customer lifespan.Roei shares how Connected is focused on leveraging data to improve customer outcomes, building a platform that evolves to meet the real-time needs of startups, investors, and talent.Key Takeaways:
Focus on Accountability: Transparency is important, but accountability drives growth. Connectedâs platform enables startups to build accountability with investors, improving their focus and performance.Partnerships for Expansion: Partnering with local ecosystems like accelerators and incubators has been crucial for Connectedâs successful expansion into new markets.Leveraging Data for Precision: Using real-time data for investor reports and talent matching allows startups to identify growth areas and connect with experts to meet those specific needs.Connect with Roei Samuel and Connected:
