// 9 // Talking Blockchain & Real Estate with Nick Russell

City Centric Podcast

Episode 9 of the podcast was recorded in February 2018. In this episode I welcome Nick Russell to talk about his experiences in the intersection of technology and real estate and what he’s up to now with his venture PropCoin. Nick and I go back around 5 years when we were, in theory, competition to each other. He was the co-founder of one tech startup, and I an early team member at mine. I must point out for clarity that Nick refers to me as a founder/starter of my former employer, the online marketplace appearhere.co.uk but technically I am not, although I gladly take home the title of Employee #1 after the sole founder, Ross. In recent years we’ve got back in touch and and it’s been a pleasure to sit and talk with Nick as he looks far and wide beyond his own business to dig deep into what’s going on laterally around his, or anyone else’s, business ideas and look for opportunity. It’s a long one this pod as we cover a whole host of issues from blockchain, to proptech, to traditional property, to urban planning, to the retail markets and home ownership, we even step into the mirky waters of ethics and freedom of speech briefly.
