I’m approaching the 5th anniversary of my first BNI meeting. To be honest, it took a couple of years for me to get in the groove with the CEUs. After llsteneing to a about a dozen different BNI related podcasts, and TPOO is clearly the gold standard.
I don’t agree with, make use of, or fully track with the thought process behind EVERY point Tim makes (that would be troublesome, wouldn’t it?), but the overwhelming majority of topics covered, activities suggested, and points made are ON POINT.
Especially helpful is the fact that the episodes are short enough to listen to on a quick car ride to do some errands, which also helps with note taking, action planning, and conversion to weekly EduSegments (what we call them in our “best on Earth” Chapter).
The effort that must go into maintaining the pace ot TPOO publication is genuinely appreciated, as is the 20+ years Tim has given to BNI which make his expertise possible.
Probably about 300 episodes in to TPOO (gravitating much more to BNI material than “Business Matters”, this pod is permanently situated in my agenda every week.
I plan on being in BNI until dirt day, so I hope TPOO podcast can hang around that long.
It would be great to meet Tim at a conference sometime and compare notes!
