Conversations with Rex

In our first episode of Close Ups, Antonia goes toe-to-toe with Alex Jordan, agent at McGrath Paddington, to discuss all things health and wellness. As a sufferer of Crohn's disease, Alex gets candid with why prioritising his health is extremely important for not only himself, but his whole family. He goes on to discuss the importance of a good night's sleep and why something as simple as letting your bare feet feel the Earth can make all the difference in helping you reconnect with the world around you.

Peter Hutton of Hutton & Hutton talks about the unique challenges of living and working with his family.
