"Is hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me... Next question." -Brendan Shanahan I feel the 1972 Summit Series area was, aside from the Esso Great Hall, my favorite part of the Hockey Hall of Fame. I wasn't around for another decade, but I relived the series through family, rebroadcasts on television, and eventually a made for tv movie. I only wish you could hear Foster Hewitt scream the, "Henderson! Henderson has scored for Canada!" as soon as you step foot in the area. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #leader #legend #legacy #hustle #Canada #canadian #nhl #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #summit (at Hockey Hall of Fame)

Mark Zuckerberg's one rule for hiring
"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body." -Benjamin Franklin The food at One Restaurant is so good it reminded me of family dinners over Christmas, in Edmonton, with family when I was a child. When I was looking up the quote; so as not to paraphrase, I stumbled upon a stellar quote from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. I feel it relates more to the life of an entrepreneur than most I have ever seen. Truly words to live by: "I'll never, ever be full. I'll always be hungry. Obviously, I'm not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it, 'Once you've ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you'll never, ever be full." -Dwayne Johnson #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #food #travel #meals #benjaminfranklin #rock #thankful #hungry (at One Restaurant)

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)
