I’m P. Blake Renda—entrepreneur, investor, and co-CEO of Veedor Holdings LLC based in Naples, FL, with a satellite office in Santa Monica, CA. Veedor Holdings LLC, in addition to making strategic investments, owns and operates Dragon Horse Agency, Dragon Horse Publishing, and Moxie Creed. My professional journey began while attending the University of Southern Calfornia as an intern at NBC Studios, which led to a full-time position upon graduating. I then pivoted to law and then finance which ultimately lead me to Wall Street in 1996, where I was part of small team in Palo Alto, CA managing over $20 billion in technology-sector assets at J. & W. Seligman & Co. and in 2000 I earned recognition as one of Institutional Investor Magazine’s “Best of the Buy Side.” In 2006, I joined the New Dimensions Growth Team of American Express Asset Management in La Jolla, CA, as the T/M/T manager across six growth funds with $40 billion plus in AUM. In 2004, I was nominated for Institutional Investor Magazine's "Best of the Buy Side." Those years instilled in me the importance of rigorously vetting opportunities and leading with foresight—skills that I have consistently applied to every entrepreneurial venture. From 2011 to 2015, I helped transform a boutique Florida skincare startup into a nationally recognized, multi-award-winning brand, culminating in its public listing via SPAC. I exited that company and launched Veedor Holdings LLC with my Co-Founder, Julie Koester. Today, we own and operate Dragon Horse Agency, a multi-award-winning, bi-coastal agency serving global clients known for delivering business strategy and marketing under one roof. We also own Dragon Horse Publishing, an award-winning publishing company, and Moxie Creed, a wellness lifestyle e-commerce company. Beyond the accolades, successes, challenges, and failures, I live with a deep belief in resilience, mentorship, and shared success. I’m a proud father, a former youth volleyball coach, and a passionate advocate of Ubuntu—"I am because we are." Whether scaling startups, navigating global markets, or building culture, I bring the same competitive spirit and collaborative ethos to every endeavor. Success isn't about accolades—it’s about legacy, community, and the courage to keep moving forward. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

I work with you and your family to build your portfolio and develop a stable recurring income for your lifetime and that of your loved ones.We try to make that income tax efficient, so that we have as much after-tax income in your pocket to provide you with a comfortable retirement. For your non-registered monies, we generate tax preferred income through Canadian dividends that receive the dividend tax credit.As an example, there is a family I work with that receives about $100,000 in Canadian dividends every year from their joint account. Of this amount, $50,000 is taxed in each spouse's tax return along with their RRIFs and government pensions. As such, they pay very little taxes and have almost all of that income for their living needs. The dividends are of Canadian companies that are common shares and preferred shares. The common shares are of large dominant businesses with stable earnings enough to fund the dividends; like banks, telecoms, pipelines/utilities, insurance companies, etc.These companies are the type that clients are generally very comfortable with holding. Although the common share prices can fluctuate up and down through time, they have typically paid dividends for more than 50 years and are ones I feel can continue to pay well into the future. In addition to common shares, we hold higher quality Canadian preferred shares to generate tax preferred income and stability to your portfolio.We structure your personal investments to act like a pension. We use a fund to hold up to a year of cash needs. From this fund we take regular monthly withdrawals and automate transfers to your bank account every month. We then scoup up the dividends to top up the fund.As we want you to have a well diversified portfolio, we hold bonds and foreign stocks in tax registered accounts, like an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA.I do more than just managing investments. I provide estate planning to make sure your estate will pass to your spouse, children and other loved ones in a tax efficient way. And through financial planning, we want to make sure your financial situation doesn't get derailed if "life happens".The biggest value some say I provide, is that you and your family have someone who is experienced and knowedgeable in financial matters to help you, your spouse and children (especially after you have passed away) throughout your lives.I look forward to hearing from you:Office Tel: 604-288-2083Toll free: 1-855-855-9267 Extension 2Office Email: steve@lycosasset.comKindest regards,Steve Nyvik, BBA, MBA, CIM, CFP, R.F.P.
