Monthly Events to ​inspire, educate and ​change lives.

Financial literacy will empower you to make decisions to protect your wealth and ​reach your goals. This is why DDM’s Behi Shafiei, who leads our Lifestyle Division, ​has launched complimentary monthly Empower Hour in-person networking events, ​where she brings in top tier experts to demystify complex financial topics.

Our event at the Vintage Conservatory kicked off with DDM Founder Daniela ​DeGasperis sharing the importance of financial literacy and our commitment to ​educate entrepreneurs to protect and grow their wealth.

Jenn Styslo, DDM’s VP of Planning & Insurance, explained the concept of looking at ​the assets in your portfolio as 5 unique bags of money with different tax advantages ​and wealth earning potential.

Her insights about the hidden power of insurance had attendees in the room ​gasping! Taking the time to explain why insurance should be a part of your wealth ​portfolio was a big aha for all the women in the room. We were happy to see line-​ups to chat with Jenn and DDM founder Daniela after their talk to learn more.

The post event feedback from guests has been gratifying:

Lucia, a Real Estate Broker, wrote, “It really blew my mind how I could make my ​money work for me and continue to live the life I have created for myself well into ​retirement. I will be eternally grateful for Behi and DDM group. They helped me take ​that first step into financial freedom!"

Natalie, Architect at Square Vis Architects, said, “Do yourself a favour and listen to ​the educational information being provided by DDM. It's a full healthy financial ​ecosystem”

Arusha, Realtor, wrote, “I was super glad to hear deep insight into how wealth can be ​passively built by investing in specific accounts. The event was detailed and helpful, ​not vague at all.”

Thank you to Samantha Hindmarch, founder of Full Belly Wine Imports, for a ​delicious tasting of her bubbly. See you at our next Empower Hour!
