What Makes Keisha Gaddis with Dual Impact Leadership a Good Neighbor?

Pressure doesn’t end when the workday does, and too many of us are taught to power through instead of learning how to regulate it. In this episode, we sit down with licensed professional counselor and leadership coach Keisha Gaddis to unpack why the “do more” reflex is failing high-achieving women, working moms, and leaders—and how rest can become a strategic lever for clarity, communication, and sustainable performance.

Keisha traces the roots of her mission back to her work in school counseling, where she watched stress ripple from teens to parents and back again. That experience led her to found Dual Impact Leadership, a counseling and consulting practice focused on practical tools that fit real lives and real schedules. She shares simple, repeatable strategies—micro-breaks that reset the nervous system, brief emotional check-ins before high-stakes moments, and recovery rituals that prevent pressure from spilling over into family life. These small shifts, she explains, improve decision-making and help teams navigate high-pressure environments across education, healthcare, and corporate settings.

We also explore a critical distinction: confidence can rise and fall with life’s seasons, but emotional steadiness can be trained. Keisha explains how to build that steadiness through low-lift routines, and why modeling regulation at home quietly reshapes how children learn to manage stress. The result is a double impact healthier families and healthier workplaces where presence, purpose, and performance reinforce one another instead of competing.

If you’re capable but exhausted and ready to feel steady instead of spent, this conversation offers both immediate steps and long-term perspective. Connect with Coach Keisha at coachkeisha.com and on social media Facebook (Coach Keisha), Instagram (@mycoachKeisha), and TikTok (@CoachKeisha).

What Makes Scott Friend with BSBD Group a Good Neighbor?

A winter snap can break pipes, stall a project, and drain a balance sheet faster than any schedule delay. That’s where this conversation begins—at the intersection of risk, responsibility, and resilience in construction. We sit down with Scott Friend of BSBD Group to explore how thoughtful insurance design helps contractors absorb shocks and keep building without betting the company. Scott brings a rare mix of 14 years in construction and a military service ethic, allowing him to translate messy jobsite risk into clear, actionable coverage strategies that actually hold up when things go sideways.

We dig into the questions contractors often whisper at renewal time: Why are rates climbing when we had no claims? How do exclusions quietly creep into policies? What really matters to underwriters beyond a premium number? Scott breaks down the forces behind today’s pricing—from reinsurance pressures and supply chain delays to social inflation and nuclear verdicts. More importantly, he explains the levers business owners can pull, including tighter subcontractor agreements, driver vetting and telematics, credible safety programs, and clean documentation that helps brokers negotiate better terms, capacity, and endorsements. We also talk structure—how property, inland marine, auto, general liability, umbrella, and bonds should work together—and why an independent brokerage with access to dozens of carriers matters for complex construction risk.

Scott’s mission goes beyond policies. Through his Construction Veteran Podcast, he helps transitioning service members find meaningful roles in construction, addressing the labor gap with talent grounded in teamwork, discipline, and problem-solving. That same service mindset shows up in his advice to business owners: choose value over the cheapest quote, right-size deductibles, and run “what if” scenarios before disaster strikes. Whether you’re leading a contracting firm already past $25M or building toward it, this conversation offers a practical checklist and a steadier way to think about protecting your people, projects, and future.

What Makes LaKisha Collins-Mitchell with CPR Mobile Instructors a Good Neighbor?

Emergencies don’t wait for an ambulance, and that’s exactly where this conversation begins: the critical minutes when a bystander becomes the bridge to survival. We sit down with the team at CPR Mobile Instructors, a Dallas–Fort Worth–based organization bringing CPR, first aid, AED, and Narcan training directly to schools, businesses, and community groups. The mission is simple and powerful—make lifesaving skills accessible, practical, and confidence-building so more people are prepared to act when it matters most.

We unpack the myths that often hold people back, including the belief that CPR or Narcan use is only for medical professionals. This episode explains how hands-on, on-site training replaces fear with confidence by using real-world scenarios tailored to classrooms, offices, and community spaces. We also take a closer look at Narcan—what it is, why it’s safe, and how it only works when opioids are present. In communities facing rising overdose risks, especially among teens, normalizing Narcan alongside CPR training isn’t controversial—it’s compassionate and effective.

The conversation also explores the personal story behind the company’s growth, rooted in a moment when CPR was used to save a loved one’s life. That experience sparked a “teach one, reach one” mindset that has expanded the organization’s impact across multiple states. Listeners will walk away with clear, practical steps for staying calm, calling 911, starting compressions, using an AED, and administering Narcan when needed. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could help in a crisis, this episode shows exactly how to prepare.

If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who should learn CPR, follow the show, and leave a review so more neighbors can find stories that truly save lives.
