… looking for a number of questions you want me to discuss openly about re: PNAnw from members or folks that are curious about the format, the company history, terms & conditions of membership, cool stuff, or whatever you choose to toss at me.

this sort of thing will likely be interwoven as “shorts” in between PNAnw member interviews on the podcast, whether actually part of the show or separate ones.

i’d love your input.
keep it civil *snerk*

... happy to share that my first Podcast, DNA of PNA - Episode 1, has just been launched on (link in comments)

i've been working on this for a darned long time. built out our fledgling podcast studio, and only recently interviewed my first PNAnw member, Kevin Barrett. he's a superb member of my organization, has an amazing business called Success-Minded Leader, and is publishing a book this fall, 2026!

This one, and all future Podcasts will also be recorded on video, and simultaneously released on the PNAnw YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure.

So go watch it too once I drop that video link below in the comments also!

... anyone recognize the person on the top/right? did you know that a huge % of your networking and marketing will come from OTHER organizations other than PNAnw?

you have to get out there, experience other groups, communities, Chambers and more - because they're ultimately all different, AND you may just make connections you never even thought of!

at PNAnw, we know that there are other resources in this great big ecosystem of connections. STRIVE to make as many of those as possible!

*grrrrreat job, Marcelle Allen, owner of DREAMOSITY for snagging some publicity!!!

September Issue is 🔥🔥🔥

… people reach out to PNAnw often, and the question they ask more than anything is “What’s it cost to become a member?

the strives to show guests that the word “cost” should be removed from the question. it sounds like a potential member is giving up something they can’t part with.

We prefer the word “investment,” because not only does it take a certain level of commitment to hold oneself accountable with membership, but a business gains an entire roster of members who invest their time, energy and support INTO you and your business!

that sounds like, in all actuality, that it’s worth the “cost”, right?

... what makes a great referral? check out the new presentation, provided by Brian Trendler, but was inspired by a member, Brent Stevenson, of the Mill Creek Chapter.

he presented on this subject weeks back and inspired Brian to take it to a whole new level.

it's not just the great referral potentials within a chapter, it's a much bigger Referral Ecosystem that each category represents!

thanks to MEMBERS, PNAnw only gets stronger and more connected each day.

i hope you'll take the time and watch the video in it's entirety. there's value in there for everyone in business!

.. pretty darned proud of our Shoreline Member, Kevin Barrett who has recently received The Chamber Award from the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce last week!

it's an honor to even be considered, but considering how much Kevin does for his local community - it's really a wonderful thing to learn about his win!

Proud of you, Kevin! keep being YOU!

We have some exciting news to share.

Our founder, Kevin Barrett, received The Chamber Award from the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce last week, presented during the Community Champion Awards in collaboration with the City of Shoreline.

The award acknowledges a Chamber member who leads by example, takes initiative, and serves the Shoreline area through action and participation. It also honors those who inspire others to get involved and who keep communication respectful and supportive.

That description fits Kevin well. He shows up, he contributes, and he brings people with him. Congratulations, Kevin!

... some new promo pieces, fully embracing some really cool Ai prompts to generate the power of connectivity and concepts of the value of business networking!
