Angelique Mastoroudes, representing our Charity seat from Kiwanians, shared how a small weekly contribution can make a remarkable difference.

Just one or two grocery items donated each week can help provide up to 350 meals for people in need.

A simple reminder: when everyone gives a little, together we can create a lot.

Today at BNI Brilliance, Alaka Satapathy from Digiware brought back Humpty Dumpty.

Many businesses are still sitting on the fence—thinking about a new website, SEO, AI and marketing.

Her simple message:

Website + Maintenance + Great Content = Visibility + Growth 🚀

Know someone sitting on the fence? Don’t push them. 😂
Just introduce them to Alaka.

Today’s BNI Brilliance Feature Presenter was Sony Sodhi, owner of Delhi Heights and the chef behind what many of us happily call the best Butter Chicken! 😋

Soni shared her journey, how her career in hospitality began, the lessons she learned along the way, and how she built that experience into Delhi Heights, a fine-dining Indian restaurant.

But Delhi Heights is much more than dining.

🍽️ Corporate & business catering
🎉 Family functions & celebrations
🥘 Catering for events of all sizes
🥂 A function/dining space for 100+ guests
⭐ A reputation backed by fantastic Google reviews

What stood out most was Soni’s philosophy: when you walk into Delhi Heights, you’re not simply a customer, you’re treated like family.

And perhaps that is the secret ingredient behind the food, the service and the business she has built.

If you’re planning a corporate event, family celebration, function or simply craving an unforgettable Butter Chicken, Soni is someone worth knowing.

Another great member story from BNI Brilliance because behind every business in our chapter, there’s a journey worth hearing.

Today at BNI Brilliance, our Feature Presenter Terence delivered a fantastic session on strategic wealth growth through property investment.

One of the biggest takeaways?

Your relationship with debt matters.

Terence broke down the difference between good debt and bad debt, and how the right investment strategy, structure and financial decisions can help turn debt into a tool for long-term wealth creation.

Practical. Insightful. And plenty for all of us to take away. 👏

And now, Terence is looking for the right Property Lawyer to join the room.

⚖️ PROPERTY LAW is an OPEN SEAT at BNI Brilliance.

A Property Lawyer and Terence could build a powerful referral partnership — connecting clients, creating opportunities and growing together.

Know a great Property Lawyer?

👉 Invite them to our BNI Brilliance Growth Day on 17 September or bring them along to one of our Thursday morning meetings.

There are referrals waiting. We’re looking for the right person to pass them to.

One presentation. Seven minutes. A completely different perspective on SMSF lending.

This morning at BNI Brilliance, Osie Gyau, our SMSF Lending Specialist, delivered an insightful presentation that challenged the way many of us think about wealth creation through super.

Here are a few key takeaways:

✅ Residential SMSF lending is changing. New residential LRBAs will no longer be available from 10 August 2026, while existing arrangements remain protected.

✅ Commercial property remains a significant opportunity. Business owners can still leverage their SMSF to purchase commercial premises, allowing their business to pay rent into their own super fund instead of to a landlord.

✅ Leverage matters. The presentation demonstrated how the same deposit, when strategically leveraged within an SMSF, can create substantially different long-term outcomes compared to a cash-only purchase.

✅ The right referral can change someone’s retirement. Osie shared who to listen for in everyday conversations:

* Business owners wanting to own their premises.
* Professionals with significant super balances.
* Existing SMSF trustees.
* Medical, legal and accounting practices ready to buy rather than lease.

The best part about BNI is that every week we don’t just network—we learn from specialists who are leaders in their field.

Thank you, Osie Gyau, for an engaging and practical presentation that gave everyone in the room valuable insights and referral opportunities.

If you’re considering using your SMSF to invest in commercial property, or simply want to understand what these changes mean for you, Osie is definitely someone worth speaking with.
