Meeting About The Next Venture, Over Drink On Charbar's Amazing Rooftop Patio. What Started As A Business

"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)

"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)

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)

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)

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)
