✅ The truth about omnipresence and platform-specific strategies
✅ How gratitude and authenticity drive camera confidence

💡 “If you can stand up at a BNI meeting and talk about what you do… you can make content.”

Recorded live on the final day of the BNI Global Convention 2025 in Sydney, this episode features a heartwarming and insightful interview with Abbie Wilson (daughter of BNI San Diego ED Ed Wilson) and Ella Dominguez (daughter of Phoenix EDs Nate & Kelly Dominguez).

At just 13 and 11 years old, these two future leaders have already:
✅ Attended an international business convention
✅ Taken notes in leadership sessions
✅ Participated in a record-breaking speed networking event
✅ Climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge (!), and
✅ Learned what Givers Gain really means

💬 You’ll hear their thoughts on:
— The importance of “being where your feet are”
— What it feels like to walk into a room of 2,000 professionals
— How diversity, kindness, and curiosity shape great connections
— Why you don’t need to “have a business” to feel like you belong at BNI

And yes… they’re already preparing to be future Executive Directors themselves.

🎧 Tune in for a refreshing reminder that leadership starts young—and connection knows no age.
