A Night of Connection and Community

BBB Open House Mixer Presented by Impact & Influence Magazine

Last night, Impact & Influence Magazine had the distinct honor of presenting the BBB Open House Mixer, a truly memorable evening that brought together some of the region’s most driven professionals and entrepreneurs. Hosted at the BBB headquarters, the event was a perfect blend of energy, opportunity, and meaningful conversation.

What made this event truly special was the presence of our esteemed contributors who are not only leaders in their fields but also pillars of the Impact & Influence brand. Joel Rodriguez-Tirado, Daniel Rivas, Frank Verni, and Jim Kaspari were all in attendance, lending their insights, warmth, and professionalism to the room. Their presence reinforced exactly what Impact & Influence Magazine stands for — people of substance creating value through influence, collaboration, and shared purpose.

The mixer wasn’t just about handshakes and small talk. It was about connection — real, lasting, forward-thinking connection. Guests mingled, exchanged ideas, and left with more than just business cards; they left with momentum.

As part of our commitment to uplifting and supporting the local business community, we were proud to give away two annual half-page advertisement memberships to attendees. These memberships offer a full year of print and digital exposure in Impact & Influence Magazine and are designed to spotlight brands we believe are making a difference.

The feedback we received throughout the evening was phenomenal. There was a palpable sense of excitement about what’s coming next — not just for the magazine, but for everyone involved.

Thank you to BBB for being such gracious hosts, and to everyone who joined us for an evening that perfectly captured the spirit of Impact & Influence Magazine. We look forward to deepening the new relationships formed and continuing to build a platform where business, media, and community intersect.
