Show Notes
In this episode, I’m joined by Liam Kleyn from Grolia, to talk about something that sounds simple in theory but can be surprisingly difficult in practice: growing mushrooms at home.
We talk about why mushroom growing can be so frustrating for the average person, what Liam saw as the opportunity to make the process much simpler, and the thinking behind the new 'Flush' machine Grolia has developed to bring mushroom growing into the home.
But there’s a lot more to it than just designing a machine. Liam takes me through the process of developing the idea, building prototypes, manufacturing it, and figuring out how to make something practical, functional and good enough to actually sit in someone’s kitchen.
It’s a really interesting look at what happens when you take something that has traditionally been a little complicated and try to redesign the entire experience around making it accessible to everyday people.
