Last week at BNI Networking Professionals, we had the opportunity to hear from featured speaker Don Johnson of Napleton Chevrolet Buick GMC - Beaver Dam , and it was fascinating to see the science behind Luxcare XT protection in action. šŸš—šŸ’§

Don gave a live demonstration showing how this nanotechnology-based interior and exterior protection helps defend vehicles against everyday wear and tear like spills, sap, salt, bugs, droppings, stains, and more. The protection helps preserve paint color and texture while also extending the life of interior fabrics.

What really stood out was the peace of mind this warranty-backed service provides customers, knowing their investment is protected long after they drive off the lot.

It was incredibly interesting to watch the technology work right in front of our eyes and learn more about how modern vehicle protection has evolved. Thank you, Don, for the informative presentation! šŸ‘

There’s something powerful about someone who can teach through stories and that’s exactly what Cassandra Schmidt, Modern Woodmen of America does every time she speaks.

Through real-life style scenarios and generational storytelling, Cassie helps paint the bigger picture of why life insurance matters long before people think they need it. Too often, people wait until major life changes, unexpected situations, or debt start piling up before looking into protection for their family’s future.

Her presentations always leave the room thinking differently, learning something new, and reflecting on the ā€œwhat ifsā€ we often avoid talking about.

We truly appreciate Cassie, her knowledge, and the way she connects with people through storytelling that sticks with you long after the meeting ends.

Thank you, Cassie, for sharing your time and insight with us. šŸ‘

Last week’s featured speaker at BNI Networking Professionals was Anthony with BRH Enterprises LLC

Anthony brought in a wide variety of roofing and siding samples, giving everyone a hands-on look at the materials his crew works with every day on homes throughout our area. From color options to product quality, it was great seeing the craftsmanship and durability up close.

All of these materials are proudly made right here in the USA šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø and backed by long-term warranties designed to keep their color and quality for years to come.

Thanks again, Anthony, for the great presentation and for sharing your knowledge with the group!

Last week’s Featured Speaker was Mike Stadler, owner of Big Mike's Automotive Repair and Machine Shop šŸ‘

With 11 years of ownership and 32 years in the automotive industry, Mike brought more than just experience to the room—he shared what truly drives his business: people.

He spoke about the importance of the team around him, from his family at home to the employees in his shop, and how being able to rely on both makes everything run smoother. That same mindset shows up in how he takes care of his customers—focused on honesty, doing the work right, and never adding anything that isn’t needed.

Mike also touched on something a lot of us can relate to—fixing the problems that come from DIY repairs gone wrong. It’s that straightforward, no-nonsense approach that builds trust and keeps customers coming back.

Great job, Mike. A strong reminder that doing good work and treating people right never goes out of style. šŸ‘Š

šŸ‘ BNI Featured Speaker Recap šŸ‘

Last week we heard from TJ Monthie Jr., owner of AWPM Floors & More , as he delivered his first BNI feature—and he didn’t hold back.

TJ walked us through the materials he sources through his distributor and broke down what really separates his work from the big box stores. From product quality to long-term value, it was clear his approach is built around doing it right, not just doing it quick.

The biggest takeaway? Better materials, better installs, and a price point that actually makes sense for the level of quality you’re getting—something you’re not going to find just anywhere.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with the group, TJ. Great job on your first feature! šŸ‘Š

šŸ”„ BNI Featured Speaker Recap šŸ”„

Big thank you to Rodney Stanton with Daizy Sweeps for taking the time to share his story and expertise with the group this week.

Rodney walked us through what really goes on inside a chimney system—and why it matters more than most people think. It’s not just about cleaning… it’s about safety, performance, and catching problems before they turn into expensive (or dangerous) situations.

We also got a look at the full scope of what Daizy Sweeps handles—from inspections and routine maintenance to full rebuilds, fireplaces, inserts, and more.

What stood out most is the pride behind the work. This is a second-generation business that’s been built on doing things the right way and taking care of the community.

Appreciate you, Rodney, for the education and the reminder that something most people don’t see every day plays a big role in keeping families safe.

Last week’s featured speaker was Patrice Heckmann Guerra with Harvey Lewis Insurance Agency.

Patrice shared her story, how she got started, and what keeps her going every day. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping people understand their insurance and feel confident in the decisions they’re making.

She spends a lot of time staying on top of changes in the market, helping clients keep up with what’s happening now and what could be coming next. That kind of attention makes a big difference.

What really stood out is why she does it. Her family—being a wife, mom, and grandma—drives everything. That care shows in how she treats the people she works with.

Thank you again, Patrice, for taking the time to share with the group. We appreciate you. šŸ‘

Last week’s BNI Featured Speaker, Angie Krieger - Loan Officer at Bank CMG, gave us a truly unique look at the home buying process. šŸ”

Through a ā€œchoose your own adventureā€ style walkthrough, we stepped into the shoes of first-time homebuyers and experienced the different paths, decisions, and challenges that can come along the way. It was a great reminder that no two journeys look the same—and having the right guidance makes all the difference.

Thank you, Angie, for such an engaging and informative presentation! šŸ‘
