Enjoying TEDxYYC. A Nice Break From The Grind

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=

"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body." -Benjamin Franklin The food at One Restaurant is so good it reminded me of family dinners over Christmas, in Edmonton, with family when I was a child. When I was looking up the quote; so as not to paraphrase, I stumbled upon a stellar quote from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. I feel it relates more to the life of an entrepreneur than most I have ever seen. Truly words to live by: "I'll never, ever be full. I'll always be hungry. Obviously, I'm not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it, 'Once you've ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you'll never, ever be full." -Dwayne Johnson #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #food #travel #meals #benjaminfranklin #rock #thankful #hungry (at One Restaurant)

"Pairs well with cornflakes," God I live this guy. Learning to drink wine. #entrepreneur #finance #business #vacation #wine #winetasting #winery (at CedarCreek Estate Winery)

"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)

"Wine is bottled poetry." -Robert Louis Stevenson  Taken at a very early hour on someone's birthday at @untitledyyc. They say if you're the smartest person in the room, that you're in the wrong room. This is one of those nights where I'm definitely in exactly the right room. All our friends are gathered, their ages span generations, and their areas of expertise are as vast as the bottles of spirits behind the bar. But the part that matters, everyone to the person, was kind. Now, who's sabering the next bottle? . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #calgary #yyc #thankful #wine #kindness #legacy #exclusive #leader #humble (at Untitled Champagne Lounge)

Winery of the day #3 Tantalus Vineyard. Sobriety is a losing battle. This is what a vineyard looks like all to yourself on a private patio...if only for a moment. It makes me wish I could upload a 270 degree panoramic. My second glass of 2013 Riesling Special Reserve, something pretentious. It's awesome btw. #entrepreneur #finance #business #vacation #wine #winetasting #winery #okanagan (at Tantalus Vineyards)

"The mighty hammer Mjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star. Its power has no equal, as a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king." -Odin Okay this just made me laugh out loud. So I had to share.

Researching what the Okinawan has to offer. So far, it's awesome @tboss68 (at Delta Grand Okanagan Resort)
