12 | Who's In Your Room?

Michael Crosa and Elaine Zambos discuss Dr. Ivan Meisner's book 'Who's in Your Room?' on the BNI Southeast Tennessee podcast. Elaine shares her experience of sitting with Dr. Meisner at a BNI conference and the important lesson from his book about the impact of the people we allow into our lives. They explore how the book's concept of a room with an inward-only door symbolizes the permanence of the relationships we form and its application in personal and professional contexts, especially within BNI chapters. Elaine emphasizes the role of membership committees in vetting new members to ensure a positive and supportive environment.****To learn more about BNI and find a chapter meeting near you, head over to https://bnisetn.com****This episode is sponsored by Heather Hendrickson at The Hendrickson Agency, a local insurance agency properly protecting your most precious possessions.
