Today’s guest is John Asafo — an HMO property developer, senior software engineer, and the founder of VibeCoder Mastery. With more than 25 years of experience building software for some of the UK’s biggest brands — including Sky, DAZN, Hargreaves Lansdown, and Tesco — John has seen firsthand how the tech industry works from the inside.
Over the years, John kept seeing the same painful mistake:
people with great ideas paying developers £30,000 or more for an app they could have built themselves with the right guidance.
That frustration became his mission. Today, John teaches non-technical people how to build their own software, even if they’ve never touched code before. Through Vibe Coder Mastery, he helps founders, creators, and complete beginners turn their ideas into real, working applications — quickly and affordably.
John believes we’re living in the middle of an AI gold rush, and his goal is simple: give everyday people the “spade” they need to build something meaningful and launch it into the world.

You don’t need deep tech knowledge to leverage AI—understanding how to direct it is more valuable than coding.
Just like in property, success in AI comes from knowing your niche and solving real problems.
Planning and strategy beat speed—whether you're converting a house or building a digital application.
Authenticity matters more than ever—AI tools should enhance your voice, not replace it.
There are major similarities between serviced accommodation and AI product creation:
→ Both can be saturated unless you identify and serve a niche.
AI will replace tasks, not people—those who learn to work with it will thrive.
Avoid the mistake of using AI as a shortcut without adapting the output to your true voice.
Ethical use is essential—don’t compromise integrity for speed or creativity.
Future-ready skills include problem solving, strategic thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
Building digital assets (just like property assets) can create recurring long-term income, often with less maintenance.
BEST MOMENTS
“AI won’t replace people – but people using AI will replace people who aren't.”
“It’s like serviced accommodation—you can churn out units, but if you don’t have a niche, you’ll drown in the competition.”
“You don’t need to be a coder to build with AI anymore—your imagination is the only limit.”
“Using AI without tailoring it to your voice is like sending a stranger to meet your client for you.”
“Creating digital assets today is like buying property before the boom.”
