“The best mentors don’t just teach you what to do — they teach you how to think. When you learn from others, you’re not just gaining information; you’re gaining perspective. And perspective is what helps you make better decisions, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and grow faster than you could on your own.” - Dr. Ivan Misner

📣 More BNI friends at the KONP Home Show this weekend!

We just got word that Cindy Gustafson and her husband Al with Air-Duct Pro Plus will also be there!

Cindy and Al are a wonderful local husband-and-wife team who help homeowners keep their homes healthier and easier to breathe in. Their work cleaning air ducts and dryer vents can make a big difference in indoor air quality and even help homes run more efficiently.

If you’ve ever met them, you know they’re the kind of people who truly care about doing good work and taking care of their customers. That’s one of the things we love about having them in BNI Rainshadow Referrals.

So if you're heading to the KONP Home Show this weekend, be sure to stop by their booth, say hello, and learn more about what they do.

Let’s show them some support and cheer on our fellow BNI members! 👏
