🌟 BNI Member Spotlight: Kendra Horn Nutrition! 🌟

We had a fantastic presentation today from Kendra Horn, a dietitian with nearly 20 years of experience who is excited to now have the opportunity to own her own practice!

Kendra started by clearing up some common myths about working with a dietitian. She doesn’t sell supplements or smoothies, she isn’t going to tell you to “just eat salad,” give you a rigid meal plan, take away all your favorite foods, or make everything about the number on the scale.

And most importantly—there’s no judgment about what you do or don’t eat. ❤️

So why DO people come to Kendra?

🥗 Weight concerns
❤️ Elevated cholesterol or blood pressure
🩸 Blood sugar concerns
🥑 Digestive issues such as IBS
⚡ Low energy
🍴 Food intolerances or complications
🤯 Conflicting nutrition advice
🩺 A new medical diagnosis
📚 Or simply wanting to better understand nutrition and how to make food work for them!

Kendra reminded us that most people have never received the nutrition education they deserve. Her goal isn’t to give you a long list of foods you can’t have—she wants to help you say YES to foods you enjoy, feel good about eating, and make choices that actually work with your real life.

Because let’s face it… life is BUSY! We eat fast food. We grab snacks. We don’t always have time to cook the perfect meal—and Kendra understands that.

When you meet with Kendra, she looks at the whole picture: your sleep, energy, stress, physical activity, medical history, lab results, diagnoses, eating behaviors, height, weight, lifestyle and more.

She spends time truly getting to know you and listening without judgment. Through motivational interviewing, she helps you recognize the things you’re already doing well and work through some of those food choices you may feel guilty about—but probably don’t need to!

Together, you and Kendra create a SMART, realistic plan that helps you make better decisions while still enjoying food and feeling good about the choices you’re making.

👏 And one of the BEST parts? Kendra accepts insurance! Many insurance plans may cover nutrition appointments as preventive care, depending on your plan and benefits.

If you…

👉 Know what you’re supposed to do but can’t seem to make it work
👉 Had your doctor tell you to change your diet but have no idea where to begin
👉 Feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition information out there
👉 Or simply want to understand your body and your food better…

Kendra can help!

Thank you, Kendra, for a great BNI presentation and for showing us that better nutrition doesn’t have to mean restriction—it can mean learning how to enjoy food AND feel good! 🥑🍎💪

Welcome Coach Thompson!

PRESS RELEASE

TIFFIN COLUMBIAN NAMES KIAN THOMPSON HEAD BOYS WRESTLING COACH

TIFFIN, Ohio — Tiffin Columbian High School has named Kian Thompson as its new Head Boys Wrestling Coach, following approval by the Tiffin City Schools Board of Education.

Thompson has served as an assistant coach with the Columbian wrestling program since 2022. A 2017 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, he was a two-time Sandusky Bay Conference champion, two-time district champion, two-time OHSAA State Tournament qualifier and an OHSAA state placer.
Thompson continued his wrestling career at Tiffin University, competing for five seasons at the NCAA Division II level and serving as a three-year starter. He graduated with a Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree with a concentration in Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.

In 2023, Thompson founded Ohio Cyclones Wrestling, which has grown to include more than 80 youth wrestlers. He has also expanded training opportunities to junior high and high school wrestlers throughout the area, helping develop wrestlers who have gone on to become state qualifiers, state placers and All-Americans.

“Over the last four years, I think we’ve laid the foundation for this program and we’re back on the right track,” Thompson said. “We have a good group of kids that are bought in, want to work and give back. We got our first one to state since 2023 last season, and that was huge. This year, we’re starting off the season with two kids ranked inside the top eight for the first time in four years, and several others who could break through on any given Saturday.”

“I’m excited and grateful to be given the opportunity to be the head coach of this program,” Thompson added. “The foundation is set, and we’re going to get TC wrestling back on the map.”

Tiffin Columbian Director of Athletics and Activities Bill Beaston said Thompson’s vision for the entire wrestling program stood out during the selection process.
“The feedback we received throughout this process was overwhelmingly that Kian was the right person for the job,” Beaston said. “What truly set him apart was his detailed vision for connecting our youth, middle school and high school programs. His commitment to strengthening our numbers and developing wrestlers at every level made a tremendous impression on us.”

Today at BNI, Joe Gilmer with Schooley Mitchell gave his 10-minute presentation and shared some incredible examples of how they help organizations put money back in their pockets.

Schooley Mitchell specializes in cost reduction—finding savings in areas businesses and organizations are already spending money, without sacrificing the services they rely on.

One example Joe shared really stood out: they helped a municipality save $97,500 PER YEAR in operating costs.

Joe also explained how their F**A solutions have helped several businesses either save significant money or create additional room in their budgets to pay their employees more without simply increasing payroll expenses.

The best part? Schooley Mitchell’s model is built around finding savings—if they don’t find opportunities to reduce your costs, you’re not stuck paying for results that aren’t there.

Great presentation today, Joe! If you own a business, run a municipality, or know an organization looking to cut unnecessary expenses without cutting quality, Joe is definitely someone worth talking to.

Last week, our BNI Chapter President, Mckenzie Davenport with Davenport Financial Services, delivered her 10-minute presentation and gave us a closer look at the accounting services she provides to individuals and businesses in our community.

Mckenzie shared how Davenport Financial helps clients stay organized and on top of their finances through accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation, and other financial services. For business owners especially, having accurate books and a clear understanding of where their money is going is an important part of making better decisions and keeping a business moving in the right direction.

Her presentation was a great reminder that good accounting goes far beyond simply filing taxes once a year. Having a trusted professional who understands your finances and can help keep everything organized throughout the year can save business owners time, headaches, and potentially costly mistakes.

In addition to running Davenport Financial and taking care of her clients, Mckenzie also serves as President of our BNI chapter, where she plays a huge role in keeping our group organized, connected, and focused on helping one another grow.

Thank you, Mckenzie, for a great presentation and for everything you do for our chapter!

This week’s BNI featured presentation was led by Dom Frey the Insurance Guy, with Hitchings Insurance, who shared why having one trusted insurance broker can make a huge difference for both individuals and businesses.

Dom explained how working with a broker means having someone who shops the market for you, advocates on your behalf, and helps make sure you’re getting the right coverage at the best value—not just when you sign up, but year after year.

He also shared some impressive client success stories, including helping a dentist save 22% per year on insurance costs and a herd share client save 15% annually while maintaining the coverage they needed.

It’s always great to hear real examples of how our members create value for their clients. Thanks, Dom, for an informative presentation and for showing why having the right insurance professional in your corner matters!

Business is about more than what you know—it’s about who you know.

Today’s BNI event, Roadmap to Referrals, was a great reminder that the strongest businesses are built on strong relationships. Every connection has the potential to open a new door, create a new opportunity, or solve a problem you couldn’t solve alone.

So here’s the question: What’s your network like? If you’re surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed, you’re already ahead of the game. Referrals aren’t luck—they’re the result of trust, consistency, and building the right relationships.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made today’s event a success. Here’s to growing our networks, supporting one another, and proving once again that it’s all about who you know.
