His job title might be Night Mayor, but Mirik Milan works 9-to-5 hours.

The Dutchman oversees the thriving nightlife in the city of Amsterdam, which involves closely working with city officials.  

“I call myself a rebel in a suit,” Milan said on CBC’s On The Coast. “You need to speak the same language as the people in city hall to get something done.” 

In 2013, Milan was elected the Night Mayor, which is a liaison between the mayor and councillors and the city’s nightlife and creative industries.
