In this heartfelt episode of My BNI Story, we sit down with Jenn Edwards — real estate professional, long-time BNI leader, and living proof that consistency, community, and a givers-gain mindset can transform your business and your life. 

Jenn shares her journey of:

 
✅ Starting over in a new city (with no network) and building from scratch
✅ Going all-in on BNI — even when it meant saving up for 6 months to join
✅ The power of referrals, systems, and structure in scaling your brand
✅ How to earn your seat at the table and become truly referable
✅ Letting go of what’s not working and finding the right opportunity 
✅ Why BNI is a business system, not just a weekly meeting 
✅ Becoming the “go-to” person for trusted connections in her network 

🎯 “BNI changed our business. But more than that, it changed who we get to be in the world.” 

Whether you’re brand new to BNI, thinking of joining, or a long-time member looking to refocus—Jenn’s story is a reminder that when you invest in others, your business always grows in return. 

🎧 Tune in and hear how one decision to show up differently changed everything.
