BLN ConnectStop networking.
Start getting referred.
Every morning, BLN hands you three connections matched to what you're actually looking for. Every week, you're in a room built to move real business between real owners. Every member you bring in pays you back, every month, for as long as they stay -- and now, even members THEY bring in pay you too.
This isn't a mixer with a name tag and a rubber-chicken dinner. You know that room. You've sat through it, handed out cards, and driven home wondering what you actually got for your time. BLN is a referral engine that runs daily, whether you show up or not -- though you'll want to, because the room is where the money actually moves.
Builder membership starts with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

Four steps. Run every day. Built to compound.
Most groups hand you a name tag and hope something happens. BLN runs on a system -- and the system isn't just built to make you friends. It's built to make you money.
01
Connect
Every morning, we hand you 3 people to reach out to.
Your Daily Action serves up three handpicked connections matched to what you're actually looking for -- no cold outreach, no scrolling a directory. Book a Show to fill your guest slots, drop into a Weekly Connection Call, or post an Ask to the room. Connection isn't something you chase here. It's handed to you, every single day.

02
Commit
Give first. That's the whole culture.
BLN runs on giver's gain -- you earn credits for giving a referral, showing up for someone else's Ask, welcoming a new member, leaving a testimonial. The members who commit to serving the room, not just working it, are the ones who end up top of the leaderboard and top of mind the next time a referral comes up.

03
Convert
The room isn't the goal -- your next deal is.
Fire Teams are where the real nurturing happens: a small, trusted group where daily conversations turn into booked calls with the referral partners who can actually move your business forward. The system already curated who's worth linking arms with through your Daily Action -- Fire Teams is where you deepen it, so a curated connection becomes a standing source of qualified leads, not just a friendly face at a Weekly Referral Call. This is where BLN stops being networking and starts being your pipeline.

04
Compound
Then we run it again tomorrow -- and it multiplies.
Your Daily Action resets every morning, so the cycle never stops. And now it compounds two levels deep: when someone YOU referred goes on to refer someone else, you earn an extra 5% residual, every month, without lifting a finger. Most networking groups can't offer income that grows while you're not even in the room. This one does.

Compound loops straight back into Connect -- every single morning
Every day you're not running this cycle, someone else in your industry already is.
Why members don't leave
Most networking groups ask you to show up and hope. BLN is built to produce referrals whether you're in the room or not.
Handpicked, not open enrollment
BLN doesn't put you in a room and hope something happens. Every morning we hand-select three members matched to your profile and what you're actually looking for right now. No scrolling a directory, no cold outreach -- it's just there, waiting for you.
A weekly pipeline, not a once-a-year event
Weekly Referral Calls are a structured hour where members pass real business to each other. Weekly Connection Calls put you in front of new business owners on repeat -- not one lucky mixer a year you half-remember.
Your membership can pay for itself -- and then some
Bring in a handful of members and your recurring commission -- 30% as a Builder member, 40% as an Ignite member, on every payment they make for as long as they stay -- covers the membership. Referrals aren't goodwill here. They're income.
A room to actually get unstuck
Your Fire Team is a small private group chat in your corner -- ask at 9pm, get an answer from an owner who's already solved it. Ignite members also get a weekly War Room training call and direct access to BLN Business Advisors.
Every show needs guests. Every owner wants a stage.
Got a podcast or a show? Post it and let the room fill your calendar. Don't have one? Apply to be a guest on someone else's and put your name in front of a brand-new audience. Either way, you're getting paid to do it.
Post your show in minutes
Name, a description, and your booking link. Don't have cover art? We generate one for you. It's live on the board for 30 days, three across, newest first.
Fill your guest slots without chasing anyone
Every member on BLN sees it the moment you post -- it drops straight into the Community feed too. Every unique person who applies earns YOU 100 credits, automatically.
Guesting builds your name, too
See a show that fits you? Apply to be a guest in one click and earn 100 credits just for raising your hand. A new stage, a new audience, a few extra credits in your pocket.
Everything you do in here pays you back
Most communities charge you and give you nothing but access. BLN runs on credits -- show up, contribute, refer, and you're building a balance you can actually spend on real visibility inside the room.
Ways you earn
- Giving a referral
- Posting in the community
- Getting a comment on your post
- Completing your Daily Action
- Attending an event
- Landing in the weekly or monthly leaderboard
- Hosting a show, per guest who applies
- Applying to be a guest
- Referring a new paying member
What you spend them on
- Pin your post or announcement to the top of the feed
- Download the full member directory
- Post your own event
- Start your own Fire Team
- Post your show to Book a Show
Ignite members also get 1,000 bonus credits dropped in automatically, every single month.

“I was on a cruise a few months ago where I met Ly Smith in person. There was no pitching allowed so I gave people my time to guide them with tips and tricks to getting booked. This past Friday I saw Ly at an Online Networking Event and she told me that my advice to her Generated 20 Booked Speaking Opportunities. That just warms my heart. One we can share the Videos I will share her Video Testimonial. I was really not expecting that. Happy Wednesday”

“Excited to share that M91 Command just received our official 501c3 approval! M91 Command is a ministry focused on discipling active duty military members, veterans, and retirees, and this approval opens up so many doors for us to grow and serve this community well. Grateful for everyone who has supported and prayed for this along the way, this is just the beginning.”

“One of my biggest wins in BLN has been meeting people who serve the same founders I do, from completely different areas of expertise. I’m having conversations with people in finance, marketing, AI, automation, sales, operations and more, and seeing how our work can complement each other. The client doesn’t have one problem. They have a business ecosystem. The more great people I know and trust, the more ways I can help the founders I serve. That feels like a real win.”

“I'll tell ya, my biggest win is collaborating with Kathy! She's been a Godsend to my business. If you haven't done a 1-on-1 with her yet, do it!”

“A win I probably wouldn't have shared two weeks ago... I love how this community is fostering real connections and, through the Daily Actions, actually changing how we show up. Sharing a win is not something I am used to doing. I'm much more comfortable looking at what still needs to be done than stopping to acknowledge what is already happening. So today's Daily Action made me look. I joined BLN Connect less than two weeks ago. In that short time, I have already: Given at least 4 referrals Received at least 2 referrals Had multiple one-to-one conversations with people I would not otherwise have met Booked 6 new one-to-one appointments just this morning Started identifying people in my own network who should know people I'm meeting here Made connections that are already moving beyond “networking” into genuine relationships, referrals and potential collaborations That is extraordinary for less than two weeks. What I'm appreciating most is that BLN doesn't feel like a place where we collect names and call it networking. The Daily Actions are creating behaviour. Reach out. Have the conversation. Make the introduction. Look for someone you can help. Follow up. And apparently, occasionally stop long enough to recognize a win. I joined because I wanted to expand my network. I didn't expect the community to start changing how I participate in one quite this quickly. So that's my win today. And a big thank you to JR Spear and everyone here who is actively creating the kind of community where connections actually turn into something.”

“Yesterday I attended my first BLN podcast with JR and a new face, Steve Baumgartner! He was awesome, and I'm looking forward to him joining BLN! If he isn't a perfect fit, I don't know who is. The win for me was that Steve and I really got each other, and he gave me a huge compliment that I am still smiling about. Sometimes it's the little wins that carry us to the next day. Thank you JR for doing those podcasts. I'm excited to see the interview on YouTube!”

“Had one of those calls yesterday that reminds me why I love this work. A client called just to say whatever we're doing must be working, they've never seen such an uptick in referral jobs since we set up their referral system, and they just closed a huge deal because of it. Moments like this are exactly what keep me going.”
JR Spear

“Living my dream! Creating with my incredible clients in the morning, going to my client's ribbon cutting where we're able to celebrate her huge milestone and that she got here faster than she planned (coaching works by the way), jumping into a podcast, and going out to sushi tonight with friends. I'm grateful for not tolerating the comfortable life or the one that makes sense to others. I love where my determination and drive has landed me. Cheers to being exactly where you're supposed to be!”

“I attend a Men's Connect Group every Wednesday morning. We go deep into our struggles, pains, and how faith is the one thing holding us together. Sounds intense, I know. But in reality, it's so amazing to have good people in your life where you can be vulnerable. I'm grateful for this group! I feel it's easy to talk to all of you. Have a blessed day!”

“Excited to share a win, I just became an official partner with 7 Eagle Group. It actually started when I had their CEO, Jordie Kern, on my podcast. What began as a great conversation turned into a real partnership, and I'm so grateful for how these connections keep unfolding in ways I never expect. Such a good reminder to keep showing up and having genuine conversations; you never know where they'll lead.”

“Just crossed 12 paying clients for my community. Fulfillment is a major focus and I'm growing into serving without people pleasing. Feels great.”

“Had such a great connection call yesterday with Mike Gladden, who just joined BLN Connect and is hungry to build his network here. What stood out to me is the gap he and his team are stepping into. So many of us are learning AI, building apps, and finding new tools, but once those tools exist, somebody has to actually manage and maintain them, and most entrepreneurs I know do not want that job. Mike and his team are set up to be exactly that solution, and I think that is going to serve a lot of people in this community. Excited to keep connecting him with others.”
JR Spear

“Celebrating a fun one this week, I already have five sign ups for my upcoming masterclass and haven't even made a public announcement yet. All word of mouth so far. It means a lot that people are willing to jump in just based on a conversation or a recommendation. Looking forward to serving everyone who joins!”

You don't just get referrals here. You get paid on them -- twice.
Most referral groups end at the handshake. BLN keeps paying you long after it.
30–40%
Recurring commission
Every person you personally refer, every month they stay a member. Not a one-time finder's fee -- income that renews itself on autopilot.
1,000
Credit signup bonus
The moment someone you referred becomes a real, paying member -- not just a signup -- 1,000 credits land in your account. No extra step, no waiting on a payout.
+5%
Second-tier residual -- new
If someone YOU referred goes on to refer someone else, you earn a flat 5% on that too, every month, for as long as it runs. No cap on your own tier -- everyone qualifies.
What that actually looks like
Refer 5 people into BLN Ignite ($500/mo). At 40%, that's $1,000 a month, recurring, for as long as they stay. Now say two of those five each bring in one more Ignite member on their own -- you never touch either introduction, but you still collect 5% on both: another $50 a month, stacked on top. That's not a bonus check. That's a team, paying you residually, because you built the room they wanted to be in.
Two ways in. Pick your pace.
Start with Builder to plug into daily connections and weekly referrals. Move to Ignite when you're ready for a room built around scaling the business itself.

For members ready to scaleor $5,000 paid in full
Everything in Builder, plus:

Questions before you join
What actually happens after I join?
You're matched with your first 3 daily connections within 24 hours, added to your Fire Team, and invited to that week's Connection and Referral calls. Ignite members also get their War Room call invite and advisor chat access right away.
How is this different from a regular networking group?
Most groups give you a room and hope. BLN gives you a daily, curated shortlist plus structured weekly calls built specifically to move referrals -- not just swap business cards.
How does the commission actually work?
Your own membership sets your rate -- 30% if you're a Builder member, 40% if you're an Ignite member -- on every person you refer, every month they stay active, no matter which membership they join. On top of that, you get a 1,000-credit bonus the moment their payment clears, and a 5% residual on anyone they go on to refer -- recurring, no matter your own tier.
What is Book a Show?
A board where any member can post their podcast or show and get guests without chasing anyone -- every application pays the host credits. Don't have a show? Apply to be a guest on someone else's and earn credits just for putting your name in.
Can I cancel?
Builder is cancel-anytime, and starts with a 7-day free trial so you can see the room before you commit. Ignite is a 12-month commitment reflecting the deeper access and advisor time included.
What if I'm not sure which tier is right for me?
Start with Builder. It's the lower-risk entry point with the free trial, and you can move to Ignite any time you're ready for the deeper coaching and training access.
The room fills either way. The only question is whether you're in it.
Every day you wait is a day someone else is getting your referrals, booking your guest slots, and building the residual income that could have been yours. You didn't get into business to sit on the sidelines -- start with the 7-day free trial and see the room for yourself. There's no reason not to.
