"Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble." (Quidvis recte factum quamvis humile praeclarum.) - Henry Royce The Rolls Royce Cullinan premier. The venue was incredible. Classic passenger trains stood as sentries over the gala and the two yet to be unveiled cars. The trains themselves have had Buffet, Churchill, various royalty, prime ministers, as well countless other officials and dignitaries visiting whom visited our country as guests. Compartments and entire cars were even named after some of these guests. The vehicle's name derived from the world's largest diamond at 3,106 carats and valued over $400M USD. The tailgating feature alone stole the show, and as always, it exemplifies luxury and elegance. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #beyourownbanker #luxury #luxurycars #rollsroyce #cullinan #sickweb #wine #exclusive (at Canadian Pacific Railway Co)
So to round out pictures from the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom Premier, I wanted to put another quote. I found a few off the beaten path ones, I'm honestly not sure my favorite: "Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway." -Warren Buffett "If a working class Englishman saw a bloke drive past in a Rolls-Royce, he'd say to himself, 'Come the social revolution and we'll take that away from you, mate.' Whereas if his American counterpart saw a bloke drive past in a Cadillac he'd say 'One day I'm going to own one of those.' To my way of thinking the first attitude is wrong. The latter is right.'" -Kerry Packer "When I bought the Rolls-Royce they thought it was leased, then I bought that new Ferrari hater rest in peace." -Meek Mill My favorite part of the car is still the actuated blinds on the rear window and back windows. It's the simple things. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #thankful #wine#legend #luxurycars #luxury #rollsroyce #phantom #wine #yacht #buffet #ferrari (at Million Air Calgary)
When you're going for a Rolls-Royce quote, do you go the classics from Henry Royce? "Strive for perfection in everything you do." -Henry Royce "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble. (Quidvis recte factum quamvis humile praeclarum.)" -Henry Royce "Take the best that exists and make it better." -Henry Royce Or do you go with something with more unique: "I am like a Rolls-Royce. I can run without an engine, purely on reputation." -Shahrukh Khan Whatever the answer, the unveiling of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom was a sight to behold. Of course Calgary had to get hit with a blizzard, and the roads resulted in being more than a little touch a go than anyone would prefer. It started late, but Million Air made a great host. When you walk in from the blowing snow and trade a jacket and gloves for flutes of champagne and oer d'oeuvres, you know the drive was worth while. This version of the legendary Phantom was the extended wheel base version, over 23' long. It's a land yacht of luxury. The first car to be equipped with laser lights, and so over the top in splendor, most of the private jets sharing the hanger blushed. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #thankful #wine#legend #luxurycars #luxury #rollsroyce #phantom #wine #yacht (at Million Air Calgary)
"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)
"Whenever someone asks me if I want water with my Scotch, I say I'm thirsty, not dirty." -Joe E. Lewis I found myself organising and backing up my pictures from my phone into albums, and found some fun times I just had to share. Better late than never I suppose. The day last year of the pop up private scotch tasting on St. Patrick's Island. Bruichladdich was fantastic at explaining and pairing our meal, even if mother nature did unleash one hell of a downpour. The water formed muddy puddles, tried to collapse our temporary shelter, and in the end, I had to say goodbye to a pair of Allen Edmonds. But I won't forget the experience with fond memories. . . . . . . #bruichladdich #betterlatethannever #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #rain #leader #scotch #private #exclusive #socialbuttonco #meals #food #music #wine (at St Patrick's Island)
"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)
"It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one's present or future thirst, the excellence of the cognac, or any other reason." -W. C. Fields Third trip to the CN Tower, and I can finally see more than a wall of clouds. The private wine cellar tour was appreciated, and the Louis XIII was simply outstanding. A great end to a wonderful day. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #louisxiii #remymartin #thankful #cntower #wine #view #luxury (at CN Tower)
"The trouble with eating Italian food, is that five or six days later you're hungry again" -George Miller Buca is, and by a very large margin, the greatest Italian food I have found in Canada. Sharing meals with friends and family are some of my favorite memories growing up; and the best way to get to know people now. Thanks for the recommendations @itsjustbenjamin and @conniedesousa. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #italian #food #meals #wine #blessed #thankful (at BUCA Osteria & Enoteca)
"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)
What's the story morning glory? Up before the Sun, the cloudiness of champagne from the Pac Rim the night before notable at the forefront of my mind. Was it too much music? Too much champagne? Was the private dinner @andyfreeman99 hosted excessively kind? Was the company unduly charming? Was Roman Payne's soliloquy correct when he said: "Champagne arrived in flûtes on trays, and we emptied them with gladness in our hearts... for when feasts are laid and classical music is played, where champagne is drunk once the sun has sunk and the season of summer is alive in spicy bloom, and beautiful women fill the room, and are generous with laughter and smiles... these things fill men's hearts with joy and remind one that life’s bounty is not always fleeting but can be captured, and enjoyed. It is in writing about this scene that I relive this night in my soul." It was a great night, both ended a 0400 and began 630 with a walk down the waterfront. But first, this sunrise. #financialplanning #finance #entrepreneur #hustle #greatful #champagne #pacrim #sunrise #wine (at Coal Harbour)
Business meeting + Wine + The best roof top patio around + Good friends + A view to die for = Productive memories. Watching the Sunset over Charbar. June 30th tax deadline tomorrow. Worth it! #nofilter #goodtimes #entrepreneur #finance #charbar #patio #sunset #sun #wine #calgary #yyc (at charbar)
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)
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)
Inside the pyramid of Summerhill. No lights. No ferrous metals. Aligned due north. Damn near pitch black we climb a narrow stairwell till we reach a room with a circle of chairs. Wine stored in its bowels for up to 30 years before sale. A statue of a golden goddess of some sort looks over us, next to the original wine racks, with bottles still in them. Off limits to everyone but us, the owner, and the, "occassional all female yoga party." The cool room illuminated only by a small skylight. #wine #winery #winetasting #okanagan #entrepreneur #finance #humble #pyramidpower #pyramid (at Summerhill Pyramid Winery)
Winery of the day #2 Summerhill. Organic Premium Wine, with pyramid power, and a view to kill for. #entrepreneur #vacation #finance #wine #winery #winetasting #okanagan (at Summerhill Pyramid Winery)
And so we leave you CederCreek, a little more tipsy, and on to our next two wineries today. #entrepreneur #finance #business #vacation #wine #winetasting #winery (at CedarCreek Estate Winery)
