We're hosting a special panel event next week at Vancouver Startup Week! Our very own CEO Enoch Weng will be sharing the stage with some of his trailblazer friends:

✨ Arjan Mundy @ EveryDayDreamers

Since being featured on the BCBusiness 30-under-30 list, Arjan continues to be a major force in the digital marketing scene and has since started a second webdev company to add to the madness. He's also a deep philosopher and so the conversation might get.... spicy.

✨ Annika Ng @ Blossom Social

Annika and her team have recently raised over $2M in a seed round, and over the past few years have seen exponential growth on their platform. She's a force to be reckoned with!

💡So what's this topic all about?

Starting a business is often fueled by a mix of ambition, passion, and a clear goal. But what happens when you achieve that goal? How do you define what success looks like, and how do you stay true to your vision along the way?

🚀Join us for an insightful panel discussion where we will explore the journeys of successful entrepreneurs and their end goals. Whether your goal is financial independence, making a positive impact, or creating something truly exceptional, our panelists will share their stories and strategies for achieving their dreams.

📅 Date: Thursday, June 6 at 3PM

At my recent financial planning sessions, I've noticed my clients are overly stressed and often anxious given the state of the Canadian economy. So I asked myself, how can I make it easier on them?

I'm proud to announce that I've found the purrfect solution.

Risk management is a key topic we walk our clients through for any service we provide. Without a proper back up plan, anything we build is just like a tower built on sand. What if an emergency like death, injury, illness or job loss occurs? Do you have a back up plan in place?
