Interesting Humans

Troubled childhood? Check. Underage drug use? Check. Homeless phase? Check. These are just a few of the things from James Milonas's life that might make it seem like he was destined for a very different life than the one he leads today.

On this episode however, we're up in sunny Mt. Pleasant, Toronto to talk with the fashion-forward real estate rockstar who's building his life deliberately around his vision for himself and no one else's. James takes no prisoners, whether it's about his fashion sense, sexuality or quest for success.

Bibi and Sarah dive into several topics with James in this very revealing, very honest conversation, including a clear-eyed look at what it means to be an openly-gay millennial with an adventurous spirit in an industry that traditionally expects a very different type of person.

A strong believer in positivity, Jessica shares her process with us and takes us on a journey that makes for what is simply an amazing episode!

With an unquenchable thirst for learning and self-development, Christine is a real life example of what is possible when you allow yourself think you can do it all and more. In this fun conversation, learn how she does it as she outlines her simple strategies for tasks, goals and accomplishments.
