So To Round Out Pictures From The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom Premier, I Wanted To Put Another Quote. I

"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." -Steve Jobs After the recent trip out east, I was reminded of the Emerging Leaders conference from last year in Montréal. Wow, the event in 2016 seems so far away. 381 days, countless meetings, even more phone calls, 15 pounds, 23,000 kilometers driven, and a beard. Looking through the pictures revealed a few things, mainly; the oceans of wine and abundance of talent, training, and fulfillment of spirit (both meanings) that went on over the event. I am still thankful and humbled to have been selected to be part of it. Sitting at dinner, and tables that with senior executives, directors and peers from companies over 100 years old to ones just starting who were identified as emerging leaders, in Montréal, was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you. #tbt #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #montreal #leader #leadership #emergingleaders #thankful #food #amazing #wine #moet #champagne (at Ristorante Buonanotte)

My dad... A child's story. The commercial from overseas that made millions cry.

Okay, I may have a problem. I intended to just purchase a couple of pairs of socks on a small outing with a client. But a dozen pairs later tells another story. Damn behavioural economics! #finance #financialplanning #behaviouraleconomics #entrepreneur #sartorial #workhardplayhard (at West Vancouver, British Columbia)

Another shot from between 4:30 and 5:15pm driving between Calgary and Banff. Great Scott! #ItsReal #BackToFutureDay #bttf2015

Came into the office today to find out we'd hired a new helper. Well Mr. Vader, you are truly adorable. (at Customplan Financial Svc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgSxm6PvOLG2eVXFBIOXQ6qnjBbFUsl853ex-k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"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)

Enjoying TEDxYYC. A nice break from the grind

"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)
