James Mullinger has just released his memoir Brit Happens. James and his wife had it all, living in London, England. They both had successful jobs, and a child with one on the way. James was the Comedy Editor for GQ magazine, but his passion was stand-up comedy. What started as a hobby became a dream and then a reality. He went from playing B venues to being one to watch and getting advice from people like Jerry Seinfeld.

Yet, the Mullingers chose balance over their balance sheet. They gave it all up to move to New Brunswick, Canada, and raise their children in one of the most beautiful places in the world. They realized that what matters most can be very different than who is making the most.

What they didn't expect was how the Canadian Dream became their dream.

James' energy is contagious, and his insights on going after what matters are powerful lessons for all living in this age of uncertainty.
