Power Partners USA Welcomes Balazs Molnar of StudyNSport International
Budapest, Hungary | Power Partners USA Member

Power Partners USA is proud to welcome Balazs Molnar, Founder and President of StudyNSport International, to our growing network of professionals dedicated to creating long-term referral relationships, strategic partnerships, and international opportunities.

For nearly two decades, Balazs and the StudyNSport team have helped student-athletes pursue international educational and athletic opportunities. While the company has long been known for helping international athletes access opportunities in the United States, it is now expanding opportunities for American student-athletes who want to study, compete, and gain international experience throughout Europe and the United Kingdom.

One of the most valuable things about trusted business relationships is knowing who to call when a situation becomes more complicated than expected.

That recently happened in Alan Armijo’s condominium building when another resident experienced water damage caused by a leaking toilet ring. The leak damaged not only the resident’s upstairs bathroom floor, but also created damage in the unit directly below on the first floor.

Originally, the resident had asked Alan for a referral. Alan provided two recommendations from within the Power Partners USA network, but the resident ultimately decided to go with a large nationally recognized restoration company instead.

Unfortunately, the experience did not go well.

The resident later explained that the work and communication became frustrating, and he felt pressured into flooring replacement options he did not even want. More importantly, the plumbing and reconstruction issues still needed to be properly evaluated to determine the actual source of the problem.

At that point, the resident came back to Alan and asked for another recommendation.

Financial Alliance & Insurance Solutions, led by owner and Power Partner USA member, Kurtis Barnett, brought clients and guests together on April 28, 2026, for a lively pickleball tournament designed to strengthen relationships, encourage fun, and introduce many attendees to Pickleball.

“We had honestly just had some clients that had asked about doing a pickleball event because we try to do other fun events,” Kurtis explained. “So we finally put one on last year, and then we just did another one today.”

While the tournament was primarily designed for existing clients, guests were encouraged to attend as well. The result was a well-attended event that blended current clients with new connections.

“I think it turned out really well,” Kurtis said. “I think everybody had a lot of fun.”

One of the most powerful benefits of having a B2B Synergy Podcast episode is what happens after someone hears about you.
Most business relationships today begin with a referral, introduction, or conversation. But before making contact, many people take the next step:

They research your name or company online.
That’s where your podcast becomes extremely valuable.
When someone searches your name, your company, or your services, your podcast episode gives them a way to:

• Learn about your expertise
• Hear how you explain your services
• Understand how you solve problems
• Build confidence before contacting you

Your podcast makes your expertise searchable, increasing the likelihood that people find you when researching solutions.

How Annika Armstrong Helped Alan and Debra Armijo Create a Clear Financial Strategy
At Power Partners USA, the strength of our network shows up in the Done Deals that come from our introductions, conversations, and trusted professional relationships.

This Done Deal highlights Annika Armstrong of Northwestern Mutual and how she helped Alan and Debra Armijo take an important step in strengthening their financial planning strategy.

Starting With a Plan Before Any Commitment
One of the things that immediately stood out about working with Annika was the level of preparation she brought to the relationship from the very beginning.

Even before Alan and Debra committed to working with her, Annika took the time to prepare a thoughtful financial plan based on their existing financial situation, goals, and long-term considerations.  

The plan itself was very educational for Alan and Debra and helped them look ahead into their retirement years with greater clarity. It gave them a better understanding of what they could realistically expect in retirement and what steps they could take now to strengthen and improve those outcomes while still working.

“I don’t know if Annika provides a financial plan for all her prospective clients, but she did for us and it really gave us a lot of confidence in our future retirement expectations and scenarios.”

At Power Partners USA, the real value of our network shows up in the Done Deals derived from our introductions, leads, and referrals.

This month’s Done Deal features Kurtis Barnett and Candace Ramirez, and it highlights something many business owners talk about but few execute strategically: delegation at scale.

The Challenge: Managing Rapid Growth
Kurtis’s business has been growing rapidly, and with that growth comes an increasing workload that must be managed carefully to keep the business moving forward without creating stress in other areas of the operation. As responsibilities expand, it becomes important to protect time for higher-value strategy and client relationships while ensuring that day-to-day operational tasks continue to be handled efficiently.

Kurtis and Candace are both Power Partners USA members, and through the network Kurtis became familiar with Candace’s virtual assistant services. They connected to explore how structured delegation could support his growing business.

The result was a clear decision to move forward with one full-time Virtual Assistant and one part-time Virtual Assistant.

What makes this Done Deal notable is not just the hire, but the structured process behind it.

Most property problems don’t start as emergencies.
 
Mine started with a dishwasher.
 
There was a bad hose connection that I didn’t even know about. There were no warning signs, no water on the kitchen floor, no obvious leak. But as any property owner knows, water has a way of traveling wherever it wants.
 
In this case, it made its way into the crawlspace below my property, soaking the wood joists and creating the potential for mold growth.
 
That’s when the stress usually kicks in.
 
Who do you call first when it’s Thanksgiving weekend?
Who can you trust?
How quickly can you stop the damage before it gets worse?
 
Fortunately, I didn’t have to start Googling contractors or asking around for referrals. I picked up my Power Partners USA brochure and called Charles Chang, a longtime Power Partners USA member and someone I’ve worked with before on plumbing issues.
