Avram Gonzales: In 2018, both Rachel and I arrived in New Mexico, not knowing each other, but also not knowing very many people. And that's the reason that we're doing this podcast today, as you can tell from the title, this is about building a local support network through BNI. What's BNI? Rachel?

Avram Gonzales: So we'll take you back I mentioned we had got five stories here And then we also have a huge number of shout outs at the end of this episode local services and folks we've met through BNI that uh, you know we
