Part 5 of Tips from Blossom Social’s 2026 BlossomCon - August 22, 2026

Summary:
- Prioritize family first
- Need to be a self-starter to be a renovator and real estate investor

I’m quite slow in churning out posts. 😅 About a month ago I attended 2026 BlossomCon and had a chance to interview a few people to give out money tips and information.

Here is part 5. I had an interview with Zac Hartley, who is a personal finance and investing content creator (among others). I didn’t do a good job putting my thoughts together and formulating my questions for him. But Zac was able to articulate his answers well. 👍 Thank you Zac for agreeing to do a reel with me and for answering well even though I could barely ask. 🙈

Essentially I asked Zac what to prioritize since he has so many endeavours. Answer: Prioritize family first!

I also enjoy following his renovation adventure. I wondered if I would do a good job doing real estate investment and renovating. So I asked him what type of person would make a good real estate investor and a renovator. His answer: A self-starter and one who has an entrepreneurial spirit.

Zac Hartley shares some of his biggest failures as a serial entrepreneur. It’s not always sunshine and rainbows—failure is part of the journey. What matters most is learning from your mistakes, staying consistent, and refusing to give up when things don’t go as planned. @zaac_

2026 BlossomCon - August 22, 2026

This was my 4th year attending Blossom’s (@meetblossomsocial ) annual gathering. It just gets better every year. 🤩👍

My first year attending, I didn’t know what to expect. I was a new DIY investor and I didn’t know if I would understand anything. It turned out OK. Yes, I didn’t know anyone, but I introduced myself. 😅 The people behind accounts I follow were very polite, warm and friendly. And they still are after 4 years!!

2nd year, I meet an Indonesian who attends the same church as our family!

3rd year, I gathered my courage and asked a fin-fluencer to do a reel.

This year, I interviewed more than 1 person for reels. Regretfully, I didn’t practise assembling my wireless mic’s. 😬🙈 Some of the reels have bad audio. 🤦‍♀️ Thank you @joyeeeyangg , @brandonbeavisinvesting , @moementumconsulting , @zaac_ , @kartik_bhutani and @dolphingirdhar for sharing your insights. And thank you Joyee (my first guest) for your patience as I tried to figure out the mic situation.

I think this is the first year I heard estate planning being discussed. Shout out to Zac for reminding audience to check successors and/or beneficiaries whenever there is a life change. You don’t want your ex (or someone else) to get your assets while your current spouse gets nothing or something (significantly) less. 😅

Thank you @lilmaplemax , @annikang_ and the Blossom Team for putting this together. When I first saw the invitation for 11:30am to 6pm, I thought it was a pretty long event, but now I think it’s a good amount of time to gather and “play.” Here’s to many more BlossomCons. Cheers! 🥂

🎥 Thanks to Fiona for helping me capture my video. 🤗

SHE IS COOKED: KELOWNA VINEYARDS

We couldn’t stop in Kelowna without getting ourselves into some wine tastings! I brought along my @dime.industries Blueberry Lemon Haze AIO. This device is insane, the clouds and taste are unmatched. Perfect for quick hits along the journey 🤣💀

We only had time for two this day, kicking it off with @crownthieves . This patio is actually insane, it feels like an old broken down castle where it shouldn’t be. The interior of the building is even more breathtaking with that ceiling! We enjoyed the views & drank several wines (all tea on them is in the YouTube video).

Then we were off to @missionhillwinery . This property is insane, from the entrance to the art to the gift shop, everything is so elegant and thoughtful. The consistently place in top 50 vineyards/wines in the world, and you can feel it the moment you arrive. We tried several spectacular wines & enjoyed a walk around the property.

Wine isn’t really my thing, it makes me hungover before the cup is even finished but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to sip a few amazing ones and enjoy the views!

First time inside Rogers Centre and they'd opened the dome right up to the CN Tower 🏟️

Spent Saturday at @meetblossomsocial , a yearly event where a load of Canadian creators and coaches come together on one stage like @canadiantshirt , @growwithnav & @brandonbeavisinvesting . When we moved here in 2023 I knew almost nothing about how life in Canada worked, and a lot of what I picked up came from following people like these, so getting to meet a couple of them in person was a proper full-circle moment.

Around a dozen stalls from big Canadian names, all handing out goodies, plus a free drink and food and a full day of talks.

I came home with an almost embarrassing amount of free stuff, so that's getting its own video next 👀

🔥 Never say never… 5 years ago most people thought Blossom wouldn’t work. They said people would never be so open about their finances…

🤯 Welllll on Saturday we filled the Rogers Centre with over 2,000 Blossomers joining us for an incredible day of expert panels, masterclasses, and more.

🌱 That little idea 5 years ago has grown into a movement of people ready to break generational cycles and build financial literacy together, and I feel so blessed to get to work for this amazing community everyday 💕

👏 Shout out to the Blossom team for pulling off such an incredible event and special shout out to @harvestetfs for being our headline sponsor 3 years in a row and all our amazing sponsors for making this dream possible!
