A big thank you to Asyraf, Wan, and Zal — the team behind Next Home Talkshow — for inviting me onto Episode 276 to share my story. I had a brilliant time chatting with the guys, and the whole crew made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Genuinely one of the most fun conversations I’ve had on a podcast.
If you haven’t heard of them yet, Next Home Talkshow is one of Singapore’s most entertaining homegrown podcasts — covering real estate, finance, marriage, relationships, and pretty much everything else that matters in everyday Singaporean life. They’ve already crossed 280+ episodes with a 4.6-star rating on Spotify, and the show keeps growing.
Watch or Listen to the Episode
The episode is called “EPISODE 276: ANGMOH SERVICE AIRCON?!” — a 1 hour 8 minute conversation about my move from Albania to Singapore, building Lion City Aircon from scratch, what it’s like being the only Ang Mo in the local aircon trade, and a few stories I don’t usually tell.

What We Talked About
The guys didn’t hold back, and neither did I. A few of the things we got into:
- Why I left Albania and moved to Singapore back in 2014
- How I went from being completely broke to running a business with 6 service teams and 20+ technicians
- The reality of being an “Ang Mo Aircon Guy” — customer reactions, working in HDB flats, learning the trade from the ground up
- How Lion City Aircon broke even in 3 months and what I’d do differently if I started today
- The honesty problem in Singapore’s aircon industry — and why I built my whole brand around fixing it
- TikTok, content, and how social media changed everything for the business
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s actually like to start over in a new country with no contacts and not much money, the conversation goes there. It’s a real one.
