"We shape our buildings; Thereafter, our buildings shape us" -Winston Churchill As I wandered from my hotel to the St. Lawrence River, then into Old Montréal, I was able to tale a few pictures before my phone died. Getting the walking tour from a client and friend is really the best way to see a city. It really is as beautiful as I was told. The small winding streets, old architecture, and numerous shops. Schwartz's is the place for smoked meat sandwiches; full stop! Everything you want, right down to the greasy floor. I wish my battery had lasted to take pictures of the parliament building, the fort, or first Bank of Montreal. But tomorrow is a new day. For now to rest, morning will come early. #quotes #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #montreal #nofilter #historic #quotesofinstagram (at Vieux-Port de Montréal)
Meeting about the next venture, over drink on Charbar's amazing rooftop patio. What started as a business meeting soon involved friends, and more pitchers of sangria then I care to admit. Five or six short hours later, while the lights were going out, as the patio closed, we watched the sky catch fire. And they said it was supposed to hail. Lol. #nofilter #goodtimes #entrepreneur #finance #charbar #patio #sunset #sun #wine (at charbar)

How do you decide on a Bond quote? It seems like a fools errand, there are too many famous quotes, so I'll try to go one level deeper: "Be polite, be courteous, show professionalism, and have a plan to kill everyone in the room." -James Bond (and James Mattis) "I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done." -James Bond A found picture from the Rotary/Rotaract's, Secret Agent & Bond Girl Charity Soiree & Fundraiser. After two years working with the Rotaract club helping young people learn about financial literacy, I was flattered to receive an invite to the event. Even more so when the person who invited me held ticket 007 just for me. A night of music, secret missions, code words, drinks, and even an attempted assassination made helping the charity more fun than work. Philanthropy is always worth it. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #bond #007 #secretagent #beyourownbanker #betterlatethannever #sharecalgary #calgary360 #shareyyc #rotary #rotaract (at Sky 360 Restaurant)

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #remember #thankful #humble #legion #rememberanceday #veteransday #armisticeday #troops (at Prince's Island Park)
Enjoying TEDxYYC. A nice break from the grind
Ladies, I've always heard the perfect man is tall, dark and handsome. We'll have no fear, he does exist. I found this at my mother's and actually laughed out loud. I knew I got my sense of twisted humour from her somewhere.
"I'm dehydrated... I'll just add some water to my Scotch" -Unknown The meal at the Bruichladdich event was on point, and match precisely with the scotch samples. And as we were hydrated; or saturated, from the sky the band played on, never missing a beat. It was a great evening on the banks of the Bow River, I'm surprised I never uploaded the pictures before. . . . . . . #bruichladdich #betterlatethannever #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #rain #leader #scotch #private #exclusive #socialbuttonco #meals #food #music #wine #llconversations (at St. Patrick Island)
