In this powerful episode, we sit down with Cameron Robinson, President of one of San Diego’s fastest-growing BNI chapters—BNI Carmel Valley—to hear his vulnerable, hilarious, and energizing story of transformation. From running morning meetings in New York to facing down a Times Square speech gone wrong (hello, New York Yankees punter?!), Cameron shares how he rebuilt his confidence, leaned into BNI, and grew into a magnetic leader whose chapter is on the verge of hitting 100 members. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why public speaking confidence is earned through consistent reps ✅ How BNI Carmel Valley created a chapter culture that attracts top-tier professionals ✅ The power of “safe messages” vs. stretch moments in your weekly presentations ✅ What it really means to prepare a 30-second or 8-minute presentation (hint: it’s worth $$$) ✅ How chapter engagement, creativity, and leadership create compounding momentum ✅ Why personal growth is BNI’s greatest ROI—more than just referrals 💬 “What if you listened to that little voice in your head and actually did the thing that scared you?” 🎧 Tune in to hear how Cameron uses BNI as a laboratory for growth—and how it’s skyrocketed his business and leadership impact. 📬 Want to share your story?
