Are You a Risk Taker? Look Down!
I just got back from the 2022 IOI Summit Conference which was all about the future of real estate technology. But before I post anything about the technology side of the event, I want to deal with the elephant in the room and say what must have been nagging at the back of some attendees' minds, depending upon their year of birth, and, sorry ladies, but I think this is a man thing. I only heard one comment on this topic but something immediately clicked in my head: it wasn’t just me.

I am not a fashionista. I am a down to earth guy struggling with Whistler/Blackkomb Mountain’s definition of a senior. So when I packed my lightest possible version of comfortable clothes for this overnighter, a debate raged in my head about the appropriate level of “executive” footware having regard to image, comfort, style and traditional business “oxfords”. I opted for comfort and chose the purest reflection of my defiant persona eschewing that Harvard/Bostonian look...

Getting to know our Local Richmond Businesses

Check out this interview I did with Tammy Taylor,  of Vancouver Whale Watch, the pre-emiment location to bring your family and out of town guests for an adventure of a lifetime! This is such a well run and professional caliber establishment. Looking for a great way to start "getting out" a little bit? Did you know we have some of the world's largest apex predators living just a few kilometers away from our city? To think that one can spend a lifetime here and never get out and see these magnificent whales is really a lost opportunity. Take your family out for a special treat. You will never forget it!


Some of the details of how their tours are run and what to expect can be found here:https://parkbench.com/blog/vancouver-whale-watch-travel-hospitality-transportation-steveston-village-richmond-tammy-taylor

Arnold Shuchat from the Shuchat Group-Sutton Westcoast Realty gets a sneak peek at Jorge Barbosa's lifetime dream project: A 55' catamaran sailboat that he designed  and is building on his own in Richmond, British Columbia. Interesting eh? What's more interesting, is that Jorge does not sail, has never sailed and has previously only built models!  Check out this short video which represents an incredible achievement of a kitchen cabinet maker turned self-made naval architect. And, did I mention that he intends on sailing this around the world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY6LLScLPfw&t=24s

Over the weekend, I took some time to conduct an exit interview with my clients Cindy Hirschberg Shon and Andrew Schon about all of the conflicting emotions arising from their decision to move back to Toronto from Richmond and mostly as a way to help them say goodbye to so many people who touched their lives during their last 7 years in Richmond, as Covid is not making the departure any easier.  What arose from that interview was a pretty reliable template which can be used by other to ensure that a long distance move will ultimatley prove successful.


It turned out to be quite an emotional expression of gratitude for their experience and the whole process felt quite worthwhile.  Here is the link to the interview.  The strategic points are captioned in steps throughout the video: https://parkbench.com/broadmoor

China’s legislature has approved controversial national security laws for Hong Kong, dealing what critics have called a “killer blow” to the city’s autonomy and freedoms.

Delegates of China’s National People’s Congress broke out into applause in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People after voting through a draft decision that paves the way for sweeping anti-sedition laws...
