"What makes night within us may leave stars." -Victor Hugo Younge-Dundas Square is an oasis of light in the dark Toronto night. After the earlier festivities down in Ossington, I find an all night coffee shop/dive restaurant; the kind that serves 24/7 breakfast, and make myself at home. Staring across the street at Massey Hall, I realize there are much worse places to find myself working on spreadsheets and catching up on emails. After a meal, and a cup of rocket fuel, I decide to stop exploring for the evening, and head back to the hotel for a few moments of sleep before its time for calls and meetings. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #coffee #massey #eatoncentre #allnighter #travel #exploring (at CF Toronto Eaton Centre)

Touring around inside the unreleased Mercedes-Benz F 015. I've never seen anything like it. Then when the designer spins around to talk and the car continues to drive itself, that takes getting used to.
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)

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)
