Rainy days in COMO can’t stop the energy at Show Me Referrals Mid Missouri! ☔️✨ Another fantastic Tuesday morning filled with connection, growth, and supporting local businesses.
Today’s core value spotlight was Lifelong Learning, and Jennifer Blumer did an amazing job sharing how continued growth and learning impacts not only her business, but the strength and success of our group as a whole. There’s always room to grow, improve, and better serve those around us!

Today at BNI Show Me Referrals Mid Missouri, we kicked off the meeting hearing from Carrie with Liberty Family Medicine about the core value of Building Relationships and how strong connections help both people and businesses grow. Novy, our Education Coordinator, also reminded us that new leadership nominations are coming soon and encouraged everyone to think about where they can continue showing VCP for themselves and their business! 👏
Today’s featured speaker was Jaclyn Rogers with Ai Painting Plus — “Columbia’s premiere customer service and people development team who just happens to paint houses!” AI Painting Plus offers professional interior, exterior, cabinet, and staining services.
Jaclyn changed things up with a fun game of “Jeopardy” to bring more engagement and energy to her 7-minute presentation. With 40+ members split into two teams, everyone had a blast competing through categories like Know Your Joy, Our Services, Paint Products, Who We Serve, and AI Fast Facts.
It even ended in a tie! A fun and interactive way for members to learn more about AI Painting Plus while having a great time together. 🎉
