Do you work with family?

How does relationship-based networking impact your life? Your company? Your bottom line?

What are some of the biggest misconceptions about networking?

In this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Spencer Reynolds and his son Kamryn Reynolds, Co-Executive Directors of BNI Tampa.

Originally from Northern Utah, Spencer and his family packed up and
moved to Florida in 2017, trading mountains for sunshine and lakes. With
his wife, Tricia, running the show (let's be honest, she's the boss) and their
four incredible kids—three adventurous adult sons and their adopted
princess, almost 16—they're all about outdoor thrills, especially water sports
and international adventure travel. And when we say "thrills," we mean it!
Spencer's an adrenaline junkie—skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking,
and even trekking to Everest Base Camp with his brothers. If it involves
speed, heights, or a near-death experience, he's probably done it… twice.
(Ask about their Grand Canyon White Water Rafting trip from last year,
wild!)

Before becoming the networking master he is today, Spencer spent 12
years as a mortgage broker before making the leap into professional
speaking and training in 2005. He's taken the stage in every major city
across the U.S. and Canada, teaching professionals how to build systems,
work By Referral Only, and grow businesses the right way with referrals.
Through BNI, he's expanded his reach globally, inspiring thousands of
entrepreneurs to unlock the power of relationships.

Kamryn Reynolds is a communication coach, keynote speaker, and the youngest Executive Director in BNI history. He's the founder of Articulate Advantage, helping professionals speak with power, clarity, and confidence.

A USF grad, Eagle Scout, and fluent Spanish speaker after serving a two-year mission in Argentina. Kamryn now specializes in keynotes and trainings for high-end hotels and resorts. Known for his high energy and practical frameworks, he's on a mission to become an Ironman, a TEDx speaker, and an international voice for intentional communication. He lives by one core belief: connection is the currency of opportunity.

Spencer, Kamryn, George & Shawn talk about:

• What surprises them the most about working together.
• Early money lessons.
• BNI / Networking Success Stories
• Biggest Misconception about BNI / Networking
• How long before networking pays off
• One business habit to adopt this year? To stop this year?

FIVE HUNDRED EPISODES of The Crushing Debt Podcast !!

Who knew way back in November 2015, that the Podcase would: (1) turn 10 years old, and (2) celebrate episode 500?

We like to think that The Crushing Debt Podcast is Florida's longest running legal episodic podcast - maybe even the Country's longest running...

What have we learned over 500 (plus) episodes?

What has changed in terms of money and debt in the last 10 years?

What do we predict for the next 10 years?

In this week's episode, Shawn & George take some time to reflect on 10 years and 500 episodes. We talk about the show's statistics, sponsorhips and relationships we've built over the years, memorable guests we've had, and memorable topics. We also talk about what has changed over the last 10 years in terms of money, mindset, and debt.

If today's episode is the first one you've listened to, or the 500th you've listened to, we appreciate all of the great lessons we've learned doing this show over the years!

What would you do if you had to start over in 2026?

Would starting over be a reset or a setback?

In this week's episode, Shawn & George talk about what you would do if you suddenly lost everything and you had to start over again. Unfortunately, this is a common theme amongst clients as they deal with job loss, divorce, poor economic conditions, health issues, etc.

In this week's episode, we talk about:

• Stablizing
• Generating Fast Cash
• Building a Safety Net
• Triage the Debt
• Lifesstyle Creep
• Rebuild Credit
• Increase Income
• Invest (after stability)
• Setting new rules (so you don't repeat the same issues)
