The Open House

The Open House is where real stories about business and life get told. Hosted by Ben Robitaille, a real estate agent in Midland, Ontario, and Richard Thompson, a local mortgage broker, the show pulls back the curtain on what entrepreneurship is really like.Each episode, we sit down with entrepreneurs from every corner of the community to hear their journeys — the wins that felt amazing, the challenges that nearly broke them, and the lessons they’ve picked up along the way.
