  • You join me on a special episode with Simon Dearn, the CEO and Founder of Urban Automotive! We talk all things from Simon's upbringing in a council estate in Milton Keynes, his work life, making a £100,000,000 company and eventually creating what we all know today as Urban Automotive. Along his journey, Simon and Yianni partnered up to create a sub brand called Nero Design, a carbon company specialising in supercars and super SUV'S.

    My favorite one so far, you can tell Simon has a genuine passion for design and business and it's infectious. Proper talented guy, for any successful business the product has to be good and the Urban kits are all stunning. OEM+ at it's finest with just the right amount of aggression. Bravo Sir 👏

    Simon, FYI the urban Cullinan is by far the best Cullinan I have seen and probably the best car you have done. If I ever end up with a Cullinan I will be getting that kit. It’s unreal and I was utterly blown away by it.

    great interview, one I watched to the end.
    I was amazed at the supposed growth of a business from startup to 100 million in such a short stapce of times. i looked up the companies accounts and saw that its balance sheet is worth about 5 million. still a great success - but not 100M. I realise you were referring to the value of the IT comoany that Simon was a minority shareholder of.

  • @lilekoe1
    @lilekoe1 Před rokem +10

    This was a good pod but bro you’ve got this weird obsession with Tate. You’ve had better men on your pod that are actually praise worthy. Asking every guest about Tate is so distasteful and disrespectful. Shows you haven’t got a scope of people. You’ve fallen for the Tate trap. Yes he’s entertaining but just because of views and attention you treat him like your dad. Relax mate. He’s just another classic online money guru, selling his course. He got rich from businesses that even liberals detest. But as you’re a Muslim you should be more concerned. Pimping and gambling? Bro snap out of it.
