The Story Begins

‍

Brandon Beavis was practically raised in the world of finance. Born to a father who worked in wealth management, Brandon got his first shares of Coca-Cola and McDonald's before most kids owned a debit card.

‍

By 20, he was fully licensed under IIROC and working with clients at Manulife Securities. For four years, he helped Canadians manage real portfolios. But he knew his calling wasn’t behind a desk—it was behind a camera.
