"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)
"And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said I think I remember the film And as I recall I think, we both kind o' liked it And I said well that's, the one thing we've got" - Deep Blue Something So now the question is, how many carats can one eat for breakfast? And who's joint me? Thanks @tiffanyandco. #breakfast #breakfastattiffanys #tiffany #tiffanys #carat

Thankful for the trip out on the water, and short sailing lesson, before I had to leave to go back home; before the next journey begins. I love my clients! I'll miss you Vancouver. So the only limerick/poem I know about a Captain, or in this case the civil war is: "O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck, You’ve fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will, The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won; Exult O shores, and ring O bells! But I with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead." - Walt Whitman #finance #financialplanning #workhardplayhard #entrepreneur #thankful #poetry #sailing #yacht (at Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (official))
"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)
"Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals." -Abraham Lincoln #llconversations #entrepreneur #finance #tacotuesday #whiskey #workhardplayhard (at Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel)
"I've been gifted. The world is full of people who not only haven't been gifted, but have had something taken away from them. All I have to do is see one of them, some little girl who can't walk, and then I don't think I'm such a hero anymore. I think that compared to them, I'm a very small article." -Bobby Orr Here I stand in the heart of the cathedral of hockey itself. The Esso Great Hall of The Hockey Hall of Fame. I wish Instagram could upload panoramic photos. Originally built in 1885, and home to all of the major NHL trophies we dreamed of hoisting as children. All three variations of Lord Stanley's cup exist here. The oldest, when decommissioned; painstakingly deconstructed piece by piece, flattened, and put on displayed in frame; like a body's ribs in medical textbook. Lithograph photos of the hall of fame players/coaches/announcers, line every surface, and I could spend a day wandering around just this room finding my hero's, and the legends I learned about growing up. The giant stained glass skylight illuminates everything with a warm glow. I know I'll be back. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #travel #Toronto #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #nhl #leader #hero #blessed #thankful #legacy #canadian #canada #quotes #cathedral #stainedglass #humble (at Hockey Hall of Fame)
