— A Little More Calm. A Lot More Perspective.

This week, we had the pleasure of having Brian Orlando, the Calm Money Coach, speak to us. His values-based approach to financial advice, and living life, was refreshing.

Brian is a Halifax-based CPA who makes conversations about money approachable. Across his online channels, he tackles everything from saving and retirement to the stress and emotions that influence our financial decisions.

What resonated with me was the importance of understanding what you actually want your money to do for you. Time with family. Freedom to make choices. Experiences. Peace of mind.

After years in financial services, I appreciate a conversation that brings us back to those priorities. The numbers matter, but so does the life you’re building along the way.

With around 200,000 followers across his channels, his message is clearly connecting. I think of him as a new-generation Wealthy Barber—someone making financial conversations relatable, practical and easier to understand. He’s one to watch.

My thought for this week: Do your financial goals reflect what matters most to you? It’s worth taking a moment to think about what “enough” looks like, and making room to enjoy life along the way.

Thanks, Brian, for sharing your perspective with us. Give Brian | Calm Money Coach a follow!

: Capturing the Moment 📸

When was the last time you updated your headshot? And does the person in that photo still look like you? 😂

For me, it’s been six years since my last update, so it was time to get back in front of the camera!

This week, I’m giving a shout-out to Jay Fisher of Capture It Photography, who helped me with updated headshots.

Jay describes his work as “headshots for people who hate having their photo taken.” And I can see why. He makes the experience so comfortable, helps you relax, and captures those natural moments when your personality comes through.

It got me thinking about something that applies to all of us in business: how you make people feel matters.

Having your picture taken can make you feel a little exposed. So can starting a business, asking for advice, or having a conversation about your finances. When someone takes the time to put you at ease, listen, and guide you through the process, the whole experience changes.

That’s something I try to remember in our own business. What feels familiar to us every day might feel unfamiliar or overwhelming to the person sitting across from us. A little patience and a personal connection can go a long way.

Thanks, Jay, for the updated photos, the comfortable experience, and the reminder that great service starts with people.

This week, give a little recognition to someone who makes doing business feel easy.

And take another look at that profile picture. Six years can sneak up on you! 😉 Capture It Photography Inc. Dartmouth/ Halifax Headshots

: Growing Together

One of the things I love about being a business owner is the opportunity to meet people, hear their stories and learn something new.

Our immigrant communities bring so much to Nova Scotia, opening businesses, sharing their talents, raising families and helping shape the communities we call home.

This week, I want to spotlight our Muslim community, which includes both newcomers and families who have called this province home for generations. Nova Scotia’s Muslim population grew from approximately 3,500 in 2001 to nearly 15,000 in 2021. As I continue learning about the Muslim faith and its practices, one thing that has stood out is how faith can guide everyday decisions, including food, business and finances.

Take the word halal. You’ve probably seen it on a restaurant sign or food label. It means “permissible” or “lawful” in Islam, and its meaning extends beyond food to other aspects of daily life. For me, it’s a reminder of how important it is to understand what matters to the people we serve.

That’s why I’m really excited to be part of the first-ever Atlantic Halal Expo, November 6–7 at the Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre. It’s an opportunity to connect with business owners, discover something new and learn together. And everyone is welcome.

My thought for this week: Be curious. Ask questions. Get to know someone whose story is different from yours.

The more we understand each other, the stronger we become as a community.

Hope to see you there!

When communities thrive, we all benefit. That's the co-operative difference. By putting people at the centre of decision-making, Co-operators is able to strengthen communities, power the economy and see long-term results that reach far beyond our bottom line.

: Too Many Balls. Not Enough Time. 🤹‍♂️

As a small business owner, I’ve never worked harder—or had more balls in the air.

The one thing there’s never enough of? TIME.

Some days, we’re all “hot messes” trying to keep everything moving. I know I am. 😂

That’s why the right partners matter. You don’t have to juggle every ball yourself.

For Small Business Month, here are my 5 Insurance Tips:

1️⃣ Protect what keeps you running.
Your property, equipment, inventory and income. Remember liability and cyber protection, too.

2️⃣ Insure for the right amount.
Costs rise and businesses change. Review your property values and coverage limits regularly.

3️⃣ Protect the people behind the business.
Your greatest asset might be YOU. Consider life, disability and critical illness protection.

4️⃣ Let your coverage grow with you.
New employees, equipment, services or locations? Keep your insurance partner informed.

5️⃣ Simplify where it makes sense.
Bringing insurance, group benefits and investment conversations together can mean fewer moving pieces and more time for your business.

Insurance should help take something OFF your to-do list.

As a locally owned business, we get it. We live it too.

To my fellow business owners and “hot messes”: keep moving forward. 👊

If we can help you juggle one less ball, let’s grab a coffee. ☕

Happy Small Business Month!
