I have the honor of being your co-host today. I am not just a BNI person, which I enjoy immensely as an Executive Director here in BNI Greater Los Angeles, but I don't know if you've ever noticed, my title here is Gratitude Evangelist, which I have been for more years. Then I can count and when I met Norm Dominguez who hosts here usually, I was also a Gratitude Evangelist and through the years and carrying on this relationship, I'm honored to be here with all of you as that to thank you so much and I'm excited to get started today. But here's the moment I've been waiting for. And that is our guest today is Hema Matthew. I know her through a chance meeting in my BNI world. She is the CEO and Creative Director of Bijhem DevOps. She's also a positivity servant. I would love to go on and on about her, but I'm not going to. As much as she touches my heart and is probably my new favorite top positivity people in the group that I know. I want you to meet her and have her speak to her and her topic today is Show That You Care. Hema Mathew: Thank you, Cys, for such a warm welcome and introduction. I just adore you. So, thank you.  Thank you, Norm, for having me. I am just honored to be here among other positive servants. You all are fantastic, and I feel like I've missed out all these years not knowing you all. So I'm so happy to be here. So, my name is Hema Mathew. I'm the CEO and the Creative Director of Bijhem DevOps. I have a business here in San Antonio. We do web development, digital marketing and mobile apps, web apps. We help small businesses get online presence and grow and scale. So that's what we do. So, a little bit about me. I was born in India. I was raised there in Chennai till I was about 10. And then my dad started his university here in Oklahoma and was doing his MBA. So, he just moved the entire family over here. So, from then we've been in Oklahoma. And I went to school at the University of Oklahoma, and I met my husband there at the tender age of 18 on the very first day of college, in the very first class. And he was this talkative guy and just extremely serious. He was a chemical engineering major, so extremely smart. We just hit it off right away. And we've been, we dated for 10 years and then we got married, and we've been married for 24 years, and he got recruited to the University of Texas here in San Antonio because they were trying to take small business ideas and take it to the market. And literally they've been looking for someone. To just come and help them do that. And they were looking for two to three years and anyway, they tracked him down in DC, so they made him an offer. So, we moved here, and it's been a blessing for our family. We love it in San Antonio. I love the city. I love the state of Texas. We had three small kids. No, not small anymore but see sweet kids. Our oldest is 20 and he's studying biomedical engineering. He's hoping to go into medicine. He wants to be a surgeon so and he's one positive guy. So, I I would love for him to join us one of these days because he's so positive about health about God and. And just inspires everybody around him. So, he's studying biomedical. Our second sBNI4Success Podcasts The Voice of BNI Greater Los Angeles; Where we’ll talk about referral networking that works!http://bnipodcast4success.com
