"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)

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)
