== Subscribe for new episodes, released every Monday == This week's guest is super prime estate agent Alex Bourne (joined on and off by his lovely dog, Noodles).

- Oh, and forgive the pesky gremlins and the weird intro glitch, thank you, please - Alex had a starring role in Netflix's Buying London, giving viewers a glimpse at the houses and the property market of the super rich. The Guardian gave it 0 stars out of 5, and said it was 'probably the most hateable TV show ever made'. Despite the critical reception, the show was in the top 10 Netflix shows in more than 50 countries. In this episode, we talk about family life in the public eye, as it was even before the show, social media trolling and unkindness, Alex's path from a young soap opera actor to selling houses to the richest and most famous people in the world and more.

My upbringing wasn't great. But I remember thinking - I have to, and I CAN - break the cycle. That single thought changed my life. At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the chaos of my family council house without a penny to my name, determined to rewrite my story. By 30, I was a successful PR agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK’s leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities. Using that influence, I helped to raise more than a million pounds for sick children.
