This week at North Star Networking, we heard from Eileen Thieisen with Envision Capital - Eileen Theisen St. Cloud Lender ID: 327578

Eileen gave us a chance to get to know her on a more personal level, sharing stories about her family, life experiences, and involvement in the community. She also touched on her work as an independent mortgage broker, representing multiple lenders to help her clients explore their options.

One thing that stood out was Eileen's belief that "givers gain." From her years of volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and The Dream Center to consistently sharing referrals with fellow NSN members, Eileen puts that philosophy into practice.

Thank you, Eileen, for sharing your story and for continuing to be such a supportive and dedicated member of our group!

This week at North Star Networking, we heard from Jesse Lutgen with Calhoun Companies!

Jesse shared more about his role in helping business owners find the right buyer and some of the challenges that come with it, especially when confidentiality is a priority. With business sales often taking 6 to 18 months, building relationships and finding the right fit is a big part of what he does.

He also showed us how to explore current business listings on the Calhoun Companies website, a great resource for anyone interested in buying a business.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Jesse!

This week at North Star Networking, we heard from Derick Hall with Elevation Construction LLC!

Derick gave us a look at some of the projects he's been working on, sharing before and after photos of bathroom remodels, garage renovations, new sheds, and more.

Elevation Construction helps homeowners tackle projects big and small, from refreshing existing spaces to building new additions. Derick shared some great examples of how thoughtful updates can completely transform a space, including bathroom renovations that help homeowners get their homes ready to sell.

Whether you're looking to update a room, add more space, or finally tackle a project you've been putting off, Derick is a great resource to have!

Thank you, Derick, for sharing more about Elevation Construction and the work you do for homeowners in our community!

This week at North Star Networking, Dan Schepers with Lamar Advertising of St. Cloud shared how he helps businesses use their outside voice! 📣

Lamar specializes in outdoor advertising, helping businesses get their message in front of more people through billboards and other advertising displays.

A few of our North Star Networking members recently volunteered through United Way of Central Minnesota’s Days of Caring, spending time with Aslan Health for a “Pill Popping Party.”

Despite the name, the task was simple and meaningful: removing donated medications from blister packs so they can be organized and dispensed through RoundtableRx to uninsured patients in need.

Aslan Health provides affordable, whole-person care to underserved members of our community, and we were grateful to lend a few extra hands to help support their mission.

Thank you to United Way of Central Minnesota and Aslan Health for giving our group a great way to serve together!

This week at North Star Networking, Aaron Zimmer with Jacobs Financial switched things up with a Q&A session, giving our members the chance to ask some of the financial questions that are actually on their minds.

From retirement and investment accounts to life insurance and managing your money for your specific situation, Aaron shared practical advice and helped make some complicated topics easier to understand.

Aaron is a Certified Financial Planner™ and fiduciary, meaning he is committed to putting his clients’ best interests first. Jacobs Financial is also an independent advisory office, allowing Aaron to focus on recommendations that make sense for each individual client.

Thank you, Aaron, for answering our questions and sharing your expertise with the group!

This week at North Star Networking, Barb with Color Street shared what continues to motivate her after 20 years in multi-level marketing.

These days, a big part of her “why” is what she calls her Grandma’s Traveling Fund, which helps her travel across the country to spend time with her children and grandchildren. It ties into something Barb strongly believes: success comes from having both passion and purpose. For her, that purpose is making other people’s lives better.

Barb also shared why multi-level marketing has been a good fit for her over the years. With Color Street, she can represent a proven product, earn sustainable compensation, and run her business without an inventory requirement.

Thanks for sharing more about the purpose behind what you do, Barb! 💅

This week’s North Star Networking meeting looked a little different!

Special guest Rick Rassier joined us for a morning of team-building activities that had us thinking, problem-solving, and working together in new ways. It was a fun change of pace and a great way to spend the morning as a group.

Thanks for joining us, Rick!
