Sometimes networking issues, or the loss of network, cause us to take drastic action. Today I chose violence. The things we do for a home office https://www.instagram.com/p/Cns-P-hrC89ulg63w426uME4hEAYHgrG03A9780/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"You know, my motto is 'Excelsior.' That's an old word that means 'upward and onward to greater glory.' It's on the seal of the state of New York. Keep moving forward, and if it's time to go, it's time. Nothing lasts forever." – Stan Lee When it's easier to list the characters you didn't help list, than the characters you did, you know you changed the game. Thanks for the memories. #ripstanlee #excelsior #marvel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Characters_created_by_Stan_Lee (at Marvel Comics) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqHeuNOFa1f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wrxjvniiwehi

"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)

"Las Vegas turns women into men, and men into idiots" -Benjamin "Bugsy" Segal Looking down from the top of the High Roller (ferris-wheel), it's hard not to appreciate appreciate not only Bugsy's Flamingo, but the Las Vegas Strip as a whole he helped create. I wonder if he ever thought his vision would turn out so grand? Between the open bar on the High Roller, trying to take pictures with old friends, and new, Las Vegas has been quite an experience. We even saw the fountain show at the Bellagio before we wandered down to experience it in person. At this point the Leaders Conference has been more than memorable. I guess I have to thank, as Ceaser Romero put it, "Mobster with the Beautiful blue eyes." . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #bellagio #travel #poker #blackjack #trump #cosmopolitan #treasureisland #harrahs #venetian #love #mgm #linq #balleys #highrollervegas #beyourownbanker (at High Roller Vegas)

"Las Vegas looks the way you’d imagine heaven must look at night.” -Chuck Palahniuk Lucky enough to qualify for the Leaders Conference, which this year was in Vegas Baby! So when we aren't crushing it at the tables...er...tirelessly studying with other professionals about the newest tax changes...ya, thats it, some of of took of to explore the strip. Honestly my favorite part in any city, is exploring places. Vegas in particular is almost unrecognizable from day to night. Lessons learned quickly: I was rusty in blackjack, 22 push can be forgiving, @mylifeyyc was dangerously good at baccarat, and @andyfreeman99 plans great restaurant encompassing recharges. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #margarita #margaritaville #bellagio #travel #poker (at Las Vegas Strip)

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)

"In every walk with nature, one receives more than he seeks." -John Muir Rounding out pictures from my Victoria trip. Most of them are from Hatley Castle and it's surrounding gardens, but some are randoms from the day to day adventures. I can't wait to return Victoria. There is so much more I want to see, and an amazing burger joint I'll need to find again. On to life's next adventure :) . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #victoria #castle #ocean #pacific #hatley #hatleycastle #royalroads #royal #leader #goals #legacy #flowers #garden #forest #beyourownbanker #yacht #nature #exploring #exclusive (at Victoria, British Columbia)

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -Albert Camus "Change your opinions, Keep your principles; Change your leaves' Keep your roots intact." -Victor Hugo "All the trees are losing their leaves, and not one of them is worried." -Donald Miller Hatley Castle and it's surrounding gardens are jaw-dropping. The breif respite, and return to nature between seeing friends and clients is regenerating. Reviving to one's spirit. Now to return home Calgary, knowing I'll be back next year. I wonder if they allow picnics? . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #nature #victoria #castle #hatleycastle #hatley #royal #royalroads #leader #goals #legacy #exclusive #marvel #logan #xmen #Deadpool #deadpool2 #travel #garden #ocean #pacific #brogues #thekingly #beyourownbanker #sharecalgary #exclusive (at Hatley Castle)

"Rocks in my path? I keep them all. With them I shall build my castle." -Nemo Nox "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." -Confucius, Confucius: The Analects Hatley Castle, the many gardens, Royal Roads University, the Pacific Ocean, every inch. Every single inch. They should have sent a poet... I know why they filmed Logan here, Deadpool, and Deadpool 2. Its an oasis like Banff, transformative. When you're here for a private event during filming and get to go in the blocked off areas, it's even better. I wish I had brought sneakers, not wingtips I was wearing, but that's the dress code of the event. The a upper and lower Japanese Garden I found particularly nice, and there was an Oak tree on the way to the Italian Gardens that wandered and towered like something out of a Robert Frost novel. Go to Victoria, spend a day here. Breathe. Relax. Recharge. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #nature #victoria #castle #hatley #hatleycastle #royal #royalroads #leader #goals #legacy #exclusive #marvel #logan #xmen #deadpool #deadpool2 #travel #ocean #brogues (at Hatley Castle)

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)
