Just listed a great 1 bedroom condo in Windsor Park.

Since I love being a star in movies … and no one else wants me in their movies … I made my own.

Please take a moment to view … and let me know if you know of anyone who is looking for this type of condo.

Thank you.

How do You Create Community?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

This below article is meant to be used as my editorial in South Calgary Community News – March 2010

Community
I’m sitting in the lobby on the guest computer at the Dalewood Inn, Port McNeill, BC. (The Scanners publisher has given me my last deadline to review this month’s newspaper and submit an editorial.)
My buddy Greg Kolodziejzyk and I just pedaled from Nanaimo over the last three days on the Inside Passage.  We went 24/7 taking 4 hour shifts between pedaling and napping. Greg built this Human Powered Boat in his Garage …. and will take it Solo to Hawaii in July. We were just doing some sea trails to work out any glitches. (Cool project supporting distribution of 3000 free bikes for kids.)

We’ve been off the water for just a few hours, and it was an incredible experience. We saw whales breaching, spy hopping, eagles, countless gulls, auks, seals, huge tidal currents and amazing stars!

Sea Trials - Pedal The Ocean

While training for this epic adventure I joined Luke Way (triway.ca) at Tri It Multisports for some bike training/spin sessions. I asked Luke why he was doing these training events.
His simple response, “I love creating community. It’s cool to bring people togeather.”
Luke’s a super fit uber tri-athlete guy – under 30 … creating community. That’s cool.
Within the pages of this month’s South Calgary Community News you can find lots of ways to create and help create our stronger community. Perhaps March is the month you get to the Marda Loop Justice Film Festival Night, join the Wine Appreciation night, attend a civic meeting, give your name to assist with our outdoor rinks, pool, or graffiti program … or way more.
Better yet, perhaps March is the month you decide how you’ll make a bigger effort to know the neighbours on your block. (I need to do this.) I think I might be able to find ways … I could host a ReMax Community Yard Sale (I don’t think so), invite neighbours on a Jane’s Walk (May 1st weekend – organized by The Calgary Foundation as part of its vision of a community with citizens engaged in community building at all levels.)
Be strong … and help make your community strong.

Branding Bryon Howard … (say it like Brian – damn it!)

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Recently , I’ve been considering the spelling of my name. Way to many people think my name is pronounced Byron … but it is pronounced Brian. It’s really screwed up … because it’s spelled Bryon.

I’m not sure why my parents did this to me.  I still love ’em … even though since grade 1 … on the 1st day of school the teacher called me Byron … and all the kids laughed … and called me this until about November.  This happens less frequently since high school … but still happens at least every three or four years.  (I’m really glad I’m not still in school. That sucked.)

I like my last name … and will work on branding it. Howard is cool. Bryon is alright. I hate Byron. I’m not fancy about Brian.

I love selling Calgary real estate … and want it to be easy for people to recognize me … and find me.  I work with ReMax … which is a powerful brand and has 37% of the market share in Calgary. I want my personal brand to match ReMax … and will ALWAYS use the ReMax logo along with this brand concept.

Below are some concepts that my good friend Greg Kolodziejzyk came up with.

I told Greg that I wanted to copy Greg Hamre’s logo. (See below the header from The Hamre Team’s website.) I met Greg Hamre and his bro at a ReMax conference in Banff in November. He’s a super cool guy. He and his family sell Real Estate in Ottawa. http://www.weknowottawa.com  (I hope he doesn’t mind. I’ll have to remember to ask him.)

I’m leaning towards the logo on the top right corner. If you have any thoughts on this … you could post below – or send me an email.
