You can hear the thrumming of the earth beneath your feet.  Passion, purpose, and intention are the fire starters of most dreams made into reality.  It sounds like the beginning of a movie, doesn’t it?  For some, like our guest today, it’s real life. 

Ben Humble, Serial Entrepreneur has had every business imaginable from a janitorial services company where he worked tirelessly to clean up shit to becoming one of the largest privately owned mortgage companies in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.  He’s amassed an impressive real estate portfolio and lives his life where mobility is a non-negotiable.
