James Harris is a British-born luxury real estate broker who built his career in Los
Angeles after moving from the UK — knowing no one.
Known to millions as a longtime star of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles,
James blends British polish with American drive and a no-nonsense approach to
business. Over the course of his career, he has closed more than $6 billion in high-
end real estate transactions, represented landmark and record-setting properties, and
advised a global roster of high-net-worth clients including celebrities, executives, and
Fortune 500 leaders.
But beyond the deals, the numbers, and the visibility — what separates James is
his mindset, discipline, and consistency in any market.

business, in life, and under pressure.

Jason Corbett is the founder, frontman, and creative force behind ACTORS — one of the most compelling modern post-punk and darkwave bands to emerge from Canada.

Known for their cinematic, atmospheric sound often described as "neon-noir," ACTORS blends elements of goth, synth, and new wave into something that feels both nostalgic and completely original. From their breakout debut It Will Come to You to Acts of Worship, Jason has built a global following rooted in authenticity, mood, and emotional depth.

Beyond the stage, he is a producer, composer, and founder of Jacknife Studio, working across music, television, and film — including projects like Letterkenny. With a new album Our Love Will Live Forever on the horizon and international touring ahead, Jason continues to evolve as both an artist and creator.

In this conversation, we go far beyond music — into identity, discipline, creativity, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The origin of ACTORS and the evolution of Jason's sound
• Why his music feels cinematic, timeless, and emotionally immersive
• The early years — experimentation, identity, and searching for direction
• The breaking point: burnout, chasing success, and hitting a wall
• How ACTORS was born from truth, not strategy
• The meaning behind the name ACTORS and the roles we all play
• Creativity, stillness, and accessing deeper ideas through meditation
• The influence of Transcendental Meditation on artistic output
• Whether creativity is created… or received
• "Celebrate in the darkness" — what it actually means
• Sobriety, anxiety, and rebuilding life and creativity from clarity
• The myth of suffering and substance use in art
• Overcoming anxiety and stepping into live performance
• The philosophy behind live shows and creating immersive experiences
• The "Merch Table Philosophy" and why connection matters more than ego
• Building Jacknife Studio — control, independence, and creative ownership
• Producing, scoring for film/TV, and evolving as a creator
• How Jason knows when a song is finished
• What inspires him today and what he's currently listening to
• New music: Our Love Will Live Forever and what's next
• Advice for anyone chasing something that doesn't feel aligned
• Legacy, reflection, and what success really means now

This Episode Is About More Than Music

This isn't just a conversation about building a band or making records.

It's about:

• Reinvention

• Creative honesty

• Letting go of who you thought you had to be

• And building something real — from the inside out

Jason's story is a reminder that the best work doesn't come from chasing success…

It comes from telling the truth.

Mikki Mase is one of the most polarizing figures to emerge from the world of high-stakes gambling.

An actor, entrepreneur, and gambler, Mikki has publicly claimed more than $32 million in casino winnings, including a seven-day run exceeding $11 million — stories that have fueled fascination, skepticism, controversy, and millions of views online.

But this conversation goes far beyond gambling.

In this episode, we explore the psychology of risk, addiction, control, identity, and what it means to operate in environments where most people would completely fall apart under pressure.

From growing up around underground gambling culture and challenging authority from an early age… to baccarat systems, casino bans, massive losses, and claims that casinos manipulate games behind the scenes… Mikki shares the mindset and philosophy that shaped his life.

We get into:

• Why he believes most people are conditioned to live inside invisible boundaries

• The emotional reality behind massive wins and losses

• Why he tells people NOT to gamble

• The infamous $11M baccarat run and what really happened

• Casinos, surveillance, shufflers, and claims of manipulation

• The Phil Ivey controversy and edge sorting explained

• Addiction, ego, loneliness, and high-stakes decision making

• Why he believes modern life is built on "smoke and mirrors"

• And how he views legacy, mythology, and the polarized reactions surrounding his story

This is a fascinating conversation about pressure, extremes, systems, and the psychology of living on the edge.
