Episode 113 – Business Karma, Global Impact & the Heart of BNI
In this special episode recorded at the BNI Global Convention 2025 in Sydney, Australia, Executive Director Ed Wilson sits down with one of the most respected voices in BNI worldwide — Kathryn Saggers, Executive Director of BNI Beverages (UK), global trainer, and mentor to thousands.
With 20 years in BNI, Kathryn shares the true heartbeat of our global organization — not just the results, but the relationships, the resilience, and the real-life transformations that happen when we lead with Givers Gain.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Kathryn’s unexpected journey from interior design to global BNI leadership
✅ How one chapter rally rebuilt a member’s life after tragedy
✅ Why she defines BNI as “business karma” — give good, get good
✅ What it means to raise your hand and say yes to leadership
✅ The impact of mentorship (and why “Uncle Phil” changed her life)
✅ Why BNI is more than business — it’s family, friendship, and humanity
💬 “We all joined for business. But what we stay for? That’s the real story.”
🎧 Tune in to rediscover the humanity behind the referrals — and why BNI continues to grow leaders around the world.
