What happens when the future of BNI shows up early? You get conversations like this.
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.
