BNI Success Alliance - BNI Tampa, Dunedin, FL (2026)

10/27/2026

Another great morning with BNI Success Alliance!

We had a little Halloween fun this week, two fantastic featured presentations, and plenty of reminders about what makes our chapter so special!

🎃 Dr. Jake Schalles brought out the Evil BNI Bunny for a hilarious education moment on the 10 ways to be a terrible BNI member! From skipping meetings and avoiding visitors to never following up on referrals, the message was clear: being prepared, showing up, and building genuine relationships make all the difference.

🏆 Congratulations to Samantha Denton, our 30-Second Presentation Winner! Samantha did a great job incorporating fellow member Dr. Jenn into her presentation, showing how powerful our referral relationships can be.

🎤 Jamie Sentell – Coash Designs

Jamie showed us how she transforms children’s imaginations into one-of-a-kind bedrooms, playrooms, and special spaces. Her creativity and passion for making children feel special really shined through! She also shared her new DIY designs for families who want to create a little magic themselves.

🎤 Tony Brynildsen – McCloud Gutter Protection

Tony gave us a great look at the importance of proper gutter installation and rainwater management. We learned how something as simple as properly functioning gutters can help prevent thousands of dollars in damage to a home’s foundation, roof, and surrounding areas. He also shared the story behind this family-owned business.

👏 A big thank you to Jamie and Tony for two informative and engaging presentations!

🏆 Opportunity Drawing Winner: Belinda Cunningham

🍻 Brew Crew Winner: Zach Cudizio

📊 Our chapter continues to build strong business relationships, with $5,338,131 in closed business over the past 12 months!

💜 Another great Tuesday morning with BNI Success Alliance!

This week’s meeting was filled with inspiring stories, valuable networking lessons, and a reminder of what makes our chapter so special: the relationships we build and the ways we support one another.

📚 Our Education Moment

Dr. Jake Schalles reminded us that great one-to-ones go beyond getting to know someone personally. They’re also about understanding each other’s businesses and learning exactly how to recognize a great referral.

His challenge for the week was simple: Reach out to three members you haven’t had a one-to-one with and start building those connections!

🏆 30-Second Presentation Winner

Congratulations to Brooke Townsend with Accurate Employer Solutions!

Brooke gave us a great example of a specific referral ask, looking for an introduction to Michael Preston, owner of Frenchy’s, to discuss payroll services.

🎤 Featured Presenters

🤝 Susan Luca | After A Handshake

Susan shared her inspiring journey from a long career in banking to starting her own business, helping business owners stay visible, connected, and engaged in their communities.

Through networking representation, relationship building, event planning, and special projects, Susan helps business owners maintain important connections even when they can’t be everywhere themselves.

🌴 Tucker Kemp | Sherwood Tree and Palm

Tucker’s enthusiasm for trees was contagious!

From sharing fascinating facts about how trees communicate to explaining the importance of soil health, palm disease prevention, and proactive tree care, Tucker showed us there’s a lot more to tree care than trimming branches.

His passion for preserving trees and helping property owners protect their investment really stood out!

📊 Success Alliance by the Numbers

Our chapter has generated an incredible $5,623,441 in closed business over the past 12 months!

Another great Tuesday morning with BNI Success Alliance!

This morning marked our first meeting with Angel Coronel leading the chapter as President, along with our new Leadership Team. Congratulations to everyone stepping into a new role for the year ahead!

🎓 Congratulations to Brooke Townsend with Accurate Employer Solutions on completing Passport to Success! Brooke shared her appreciation for the mentors who took the time to meet with her and help her get off to a strong start in Success Alliance.

🏆 30-Second Presentation Winner: Terry Mohamed | Colorfast Perfect Printing

Terry gave us a great example of exactly what Dr. Jake talked about during our education moment: be specific with your referral asks. Terry is looking for an introduction to Steve Pennington at Bend Bioscience in Clearwater. When we know exactly who you’re trying to meet, it’s much easier to help make that connection!

🎤 We also had two featured presentations this week.

🖊️Jill Schmitz | Bluestone Virtual Business Management shared how her 24 years at HSN helped shape the problem-solving and operational experience she now brings to small businesses. Bluestone works alongside business owners who need help getting projects completed, improving processes, managing ongoing work, or finding practical ways to use AI and better systems to save time.

A great referral cue for Jill is the business owner who says they’re too busy to get to something, keep doing the same work over and over, or have a project that just isn’t getting done.

⚡️ Fred Gataullin | Avilo Electric definitely knew how to get everyone’s attention with a memorable entrance before sharing his journey to the United States and how he built his career and business from the ground up.

Fred took us behind the scenes of Avilo Electric and showed how much planning goes into complex electrical projects before work ever begins on the job site. His ideal connections include designers, general contractors, and homeowners working on custom homes or complex commercial projects.

📊 And Success Alliance continues to do some incredible business together:

433 referrals
609 one-to-ones
$643,970 in Thank You for Closed Business
$5,599,151 over the last 12 months!

⚾ Our new Growth Coordinator, Chuck Fonshell, left us with a simple challenge for the week: put the ball in play. Start a conversation, mention BNI, share what the group has done for your business, and invite someone who could benefit from being in the room.

🎟️ Opportunity Drawing: Tom Williamson, but the pot lives to see another week!
🍻 Brew Crew Winner: Jenn Blake

And Patrick Jones closed us out with:

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”

Great start to a new leadership year! 💜

Passing the baton. 💜

This week marked the end of Michael Sousa’s term as President of BNI Success Alliance and the beginning of a new chapter with incoming President Angel Coronel.

Before the official handoff, some of our past presidents shared a few words of experience and advice for Angel, and then Michael made it official with a very Success Alliance-style baton pass. 🏈

Thank you, Michael, for your leadership and everything you’ve given to our chapter this past year, and thank you to our entire outgoing Leadership Team for all of the work that happens behind the scenes each week.

Congratulations, Angel and our new Leadership Team! We’re looking forward to a great year ahead. 💜

09/30/2026

💜 Another great morning with BNI Success Alliance!

We had a full meeting this week with celebrations, some great BNI lessons, and a special leadership transition as we wrapped up another chapter year.

🎓 Congratulations to Tucker Kemp with Sherwood Palm & Tree Healthcare on completing the Member Success Program! Tucker shared how much the relationships he has built through Success Alliance have already meant to him and his family. It was a great reminder that BNI relationships can extend far beyond business.

🎤 Congratulations to our 30-Second Presentation winner, Brooke Townsend with Accurate Employer Solutions! Brooke gave us a great example of getting specific with our referral asks. This week, she’s looking for an introduction to the owner of Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital in Seminole.

🌟 We also welcomed BNI Director Consultant Micah Thompson, owner of Gulf & Bay Marine, for a special featured presentation.

Micah encouraged us to embrace the “planned randomness” of BNI. Sometimes our best referral partners aren’t the people we expect them to be.

His message was that BNI helps us fast-forward the process of building community and trust through consistent meetings, one-to-ones, education, and relationships. He also reminded us to look beyond our own chapter and take advantage of the connections available throughout the larger BNI Tampa Bay network.

His advice was simple: keep hitting singles. Small, consistent actions add up.

🏆 Opportunity Drawing Winner: Ellen Hale
🍻 Brew Crew Winner: Chris Coleman

📊 And Success Alliance continues to do some incredible business together, with $532,245 in Thank You for Closed Business this month and $5,959,191 over the last 12 months!

Finally, this meeting marked the end of Michael Sousa’s term as President of Success Alliance as he passed the baton to our incoming President, Angel Coronel.

A huge thank you to Michael and our entire outgoing Leadership Team for the time, energy, and commitment you’ve given our chapter over the past year. 💜

Congratulations to Angel and our incoming Leadership Team. We’re excited to see what the next year brings!

09/23/2026

Another great Tuesday morning with BNI Success Alliance! 🎉

This week we officially welcomed two new members to the Success Alliance family:

👏 Cecily Cortez with West Bay Catering
👏 Brooke Townsend with Accurate Employer Solutions

We also celebrated Dan Di Fulvio with Hero IT & Cybersecurity for completing the BNI Member Success Program. Congratulations, Dan! 🎓

Our featured presenters this week were Dr. Natasha Rados with Family and Cosmetic Dentistry and Forrest Boles with Professional Roof Technology.

🦷 Dr. Rados shared the personal story that inspired her to become a dentist and how that experience shaped the way she cares for her patients today. Her comprehensive approach looks beyond simply fixing a dental problem to understanding the root cause and creating comfortable, predictable and long-lasting results.

🏢 Forrest gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what sets Professional Roof Technology apart. His team emphasizes detailed scopes of work, protecting the property throughout the project, documenting their work and doing things the right way. A great referral for Forrest is a property manager responsible for a commercial building with a roof around 15 years old or older.

🏆 Congratulations to Susan Luca, this week’s 30-Second Presentation Winner, representing Tony Brynildsen with McCloud Gutter Protection! Susan reminded us that poor drainage and missing or inadequate gutters can create problems well beyond one property. When water isn’t being directed where it belongs, Tony is the person to call.

🍻 Congratulations to our Brew Crew winner, Zach Cudizio!

Success Alliance continues to put Givers Gain into action, with $395,326 in Thank You for Closed Business this month so far and an incredible $5,867,761 in closed business over the rolling 12 months! 💙

Coming up this week:
🍻 Brew Crew | Thursday, September 25 at 6:00 PM at The Playground in Dunedin

Another great week of building relationships, learning more about one another’s businesses and helping each other grow!
