A man built a tiny office in his garden and locked the door, telling his childhood friend Matt they'd open it when they started a business together. Ten years later, despite both believing as teenagers they'd be wildly successful, they still haven't launched anything.

I told Matt to come over. I lived in a small 2-up, 2-down house and I'd built an office at the end of the garden. It was 2 meters by 2 meters. Come sit in the office. I locked the door. I said, we'll open the door when we started a business and basically had a blank sheet of paper. I've been friends since we were like 3, 4 years old. He's been my closest friend throughout my whole life. And when we were 15, 16, we spent a lot of time together talking about how we were really smart and we were going to be really successful. Fast forward 10 years. We still hadn't done it.
