On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

What makes Jamie Ferriman with Bri Candles LLC a good neighbor? When tragedy strikes, some people find extraordinary ways to transform their deepest pain into purpose. Jamie Ferriman's story with Bri Candles LLC exemplifies this remarkable journey. After losing her daughter Bridgett to suicide in 2022, Jamie sought a way to honor her memory while helping others struggling with similar challenges. The result is a heartfelt business that launched January 1, 2024, offering natural candles and bath essentials with names that tell stories from Bridgett's life. What makes Bri Candles unique goes beyond the products themselves. Jamie describes her collection as "a book in candles," with each product representing meaningful moments, feelings, or sayings from her daughter's life. This personal touch creates an emotional connection that resonates with customers. Additionally, a portion of all proceeds supports foundations focused on suicide prevention, embodying Bridgett's desire to help others. Jamie's powerful message throughout our conversation was simple yet profound: "You're not alone." Having experienced both sides of the suicide equation—losing someone and navigating the aftermath—she offers genuine compassion to those struggling. Behind the scenes, Jamie dispelled the myth that candle-making is easy, describing it as "complete chemistry" requiring significant expertise. Her all-natural ingredients are specifically formulated to help people with allergies and skin conditions (originally developed for her son who reacted to store-bought products). Her dedication to quality and mission has earned her recognition as the top candle designer of 2025 by the International Association of Top Professionals. For those seeking natural alternatives at affordable prices, visit www.bricandlesshop.com and explore products that illuminate both rooms and lives. Follow Jamie's social media for daily promotions and new product announcements—and remember that even in darkness, beautiful light can emerge.

What makes Nakeya Divine with Divine Elements of Design a good neighbor? What happens when military precision meets interior design creativity? Nakeya Divine of Divine Elements of Design reveals the fascinating journey that took her from eight years of military service to becoming a sought-after design influencer with over 20 years in the industry. Driven by a passion for creating beautiful, organized spaces even during her deployment years, Nakeya shares how that personal commitment evolved into a certified interior design career serving the DFW Metroplex since 2005. Her philosophy challenges common misconceptions about design, particularly the notion that DIY always saves money. "I cannot afford to do it cheaper," she explains, "because anytime I skimp on something, I have to rebuy it." This practical wisdom about investing in quality resonates with anyone who's experienced the frustration of replacing budget items repeatedly. Most compelling is Nakeya's evolution from full-service designer to design influencer, sharing organizational strategies and home beautification tips through her YouTube channel, social media platforms, and blog. Her approach particularly speaks to busy professionals balancing careers and families. With two "batches" of children spanning from 27 to 5 years old, she understands firsthand the challenges of maintaining beautiful spaces amid life's demands. Her practical time-management techniques—like breaking overwhelming projects into 25-minute segments and prioritizing ruthlessly—offer listeners actionable strategies they can implement immediately.

What makes Dr. Susan Schoch with El Dorado Animal Hospital a good neighbor? Tucked away behind a Sherwin-Williams paint store in McKinney, Texas, lies a veterinary practice where compassion meets science. Dr. Susan Schoch of El Dorado Animal Hospital joins us to share her remarkable journey from a child who wasn't allowed to have pets to becoming a dedicated veterinarian giving voice to the voiceless. The conversation quickly dispels a persistent myth in veterinary medicine—that practitioners are motivated primarily by profit. Dr. Schoch's passionate declaration, "If we could do this for free, I would," underscores the genuine care driving her work. She explains how the lack of insurance structures similar to human healthcare creates financial challenges that sometimes lead to misunderstandings about veterinary costs. What makes this episode particularly moving is Dr. Schoch's candid discussion about losing her father to cancer while studying veterinary medicine abroad in Grenada. This profound personal loss transformed her approach to end-of-life care for pets, equipping her with unique empathy when guiding pet owners through similar difficult journeys. Rather than viewing euthanasia as a burden, she now considers it an honor to help families through one of life's most challenging moments. El Dorado Animal Hospital has served McKinney since 1998, primarily caring for dogs and cats with a team that prides itself on remembering both clients and their pets by name. Whether you're seeking routine care or emergency services, Dr. Schoch emphasizes their commitment to availability—"Even if we don't [have availability], we will do our best to get you in, no matter what." Have a local business that deserves recognition? Visit GNPFrisco.com to nominate them for a future episode, and experience the difference at El Dorado Animal Hospital where your pet isn't just another patient—they're family.

What makes Tim North with Eagles Landing General Contracting a good neighbor? What happens when storm damage meets unwilling insurance companies? Tim North of Eagles Landing General Contracting has built his business fighting for homeowners to receive fair compensation while transforming disaster into opportunity. His unique approach combines technical expertise with genuine compassion that turns moments of crisis into blessings. During our heartfelt conversation, Tim reveals the unusual origin of his construction skills—his mother taught him everything while his father "didn't even know which end of the screwdriver to use." This foundation evolved into a thriving general contracting business after a spiritual revelation prompted Tim to shift from doing all the work himself to subcontracting, creating opportunities for numerous families to earn livelihoods through his business network. What truly sets Eagles Landing apart is Tim's approach to business as ministry. When clients face flooded homes filled with mold or storm-damaged roofs, Tim provides more than repairs—he offers emotional and spiritual support. "People generally just need somebody that they can trust and talk to and that's willing to help," he explains. This philosophy extends from his personal journey through childhood trauma, depression, and anxiety to finding deliverance through faith. The transformation informs every aspect of his business ethics, leading to what he describes as divine favor with insurance adjusters and clients alike. Whether you're facing property damage, struggling with an insurance claim, or simply need prayer support, Tim invites listeners to reach out. His story reminds us that sometimes our greatest professional success comes not from pursuing profit, but from finding purpose in serving others through our unique gifts and experiences.

What makes Damien De Klerk with PRO Painting LLC a good neighbor? Ever wonder what separates a true professional painter from someone who just slaps paint on walls? Damien De Klerk's remarkable journey from South African rugby player to founding Dallas's most trusted painting company reveals exactly that distinction. Damien shares how his rugby career unexpectedly led him to painting celebrity homes in Aspen before establishing PRO Painting LLC in Dallas back in 2003. With refreshing candor, he dispels common myths about the painting industry, explaining why proper preparation, product knowledge, and meticulous attention to detail make all the difference between amateur and professional results. What truly distinguishes PRO Painting isn't just technical expertise but their philosophy of partnership. "We're not a painting company that you hire and hope they do a great job," Damien explains. "We're on the same team." This approach has made them particularly valued by designers, contractors and realtors—clients who might send other painters running. While most companies avoid "picky people," PRO Painting embraces them, confident in their work quality and communication process. The conversation reveals how resilience shapes successful businesses. Drawing from his rugby background, Damien lives by the motto: "When life tackles you hard, get up and tackle life twice as hard." This mentality has helped PRO Painting overcome inevitable challenges with what he calls "stupid resilience"—an unwavering commitment to making things right, no matter what. Whether you're seeking a quality painter, running your own business, or simply appreciate stories of immigrant success, this episode offers valuable insights into building customer trust through transparency, communication, and genuine pride in workmanship.

1 EP #259: Beyond Traditional Learning: How Two Moms Created a Haven for Special Needs Students 9:57
What makes Gina Korczak and Maygan O'Donnell with Uniquely You Learning Center good neighbors? What happens when two mothers, both raising children on the autism spectrum, decide traditional education isn't working for their kids? Something extraordinary emerges. Meet Maygan O'Donnell and Gina Korczak, founders of Uniquely You Learning Center, who are revolutionizing special education with their holistic approach for elementary-age children with developmental challenges. Their vision goes beyond academics. At Uniquely You, every day includes communication support, sensory enrichment, physical fitness, social-emotional learning, mindfulness, and music therapy. This comprehensive approach nurtures the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. As Maygan explains, "Our mission is to help children thrive by offering personalized instruction and support." They've created an environment where children aren't just accepted but celebrated for their uniqueness. The center challenges a persistent myth about special needs education. Contrary to the belief that these children can't thrive in structured settings, Maygan and Gina witness extraordinary progress daily. Their dedication extends beyond classroom hours—they spend their free time finding creative ways to connect with each child's interests. When one student showed fascination with wheels, they tracked down a 500-pound wheel on Facebook Marketplace, creating an unexpected source of joy in their sensory gym. This dedication transforms their school into a family, a safe haven where children who may not be able to advocate for themselves are seen, supported, and understood. As they look to the future, they plan to grow alongside their students, developing a life skills lab to foster independence.

After years of difficulty finding appropriate resources, she created a nonprofit organization that focuses on four critical areas: healthcare, nutrition, community events, and education. Working alongside local organizations, Silent Voyces hosts respite events and resource fairs while providing valuable information to parents who often feel overwhelmed navigating systems of care. "Be patient with yourself," Rita advises fellow parents of special needs children. "You will not know everything, nor are you supposed to know everything, but it will all come in time." Her second powerful tip speaks to the heart of advocacy: never be afraid to ask questions about your child's care. This wisdom comes from lived experience that has helped Rita grow in communication, advocacy, patience, and understanding. Beyond her nonprofit work, Rita reveals she's completing her first book, "Unexpected Patterns of Purpose," scheduled for release this spring.

What makes Victor Myers with Victor Myers Custom Homes a good neighbor? Building dream homes is about more than lumber and nails—it's about crafting experiences that clients cherish for a lifetime. Victor Myers exemplifies this philosophy as he shares his remarkable 30-year journey from construction framer to respected custom home builder serving southern Denton County, Frisco, and the Flower Mound area. What separates Victor from others in his field is his authentic passion for home building combined with strategic business acumen that helped his company survive and thrive during economic downturns. After escaping the corporate world (where "coat, tie, and cubicle were not my thing"), Victor returned to construction with a vision to create beautiful custom homes that perfectly match clients' needs. When the 2009 recession threatened everything, Victor executed a brilliant pivot by approaching previous customers who had purchased larger homes. He offered them modern, energy-efficient one-story homes that maintained square footage value while better suiting their empty-nester lifestyle. This strategy not only saved his business but transformed it—establishing empty nesters as his primary market for the next 15 years. Throughout our conversation, Victor addresses common misconceptions about builders head-on, acknowledging industry stereotypes while emphasizing the many ethical professionals who care deeply about their craft. His company philosophy centers on making the building process itself enjoyable rather than merely focusing on the end product. As Victor puts it, "We don't just build homes, we work hard to build a great experience."

What makes Claudia Davila with Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center a good neighbor? What does it really mean to take a holistic approach to mental health? Claudia Davila, founder of Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center in Frisco, offers a refreshing perspective on counseling that goes beyond conventional therapy. Claudia's journey began in Peru, where she spent the first decade of her life witnessing poverty and systemic challenges while naturally developing the empathetic listening skills that would later define her career. After immigrating to California with her family, she experienced firsthand the difficulties of cultural adaptation, language barriers, and the stark contrast between collectivistic and individualistic societies. These challenges, rather than defeating her, became the foundation for her unique approach to counseling that bridges cultural divides. The Mind, Body and Soul Counseling Center offers comprehensive services including individual and couples counseling for all ages, play therapy, and telehealth options. What sets them apart is their team of bilingual, trauma-informed clinicians who create safe spaces for clients to feel truly heard and validated. Claudia passionately debunks common misconceptions about counseling, emphasizing that therapy isn't about giving advice but empowering individuals to discover their own solutions. She also refreshingly acknowledges that counselors don't have perfect lives—they've simply developed better tools to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're curious about mental health services, considering therapy for yourself or a loved one, or interested in how cultural experiences shape professional perspectives, this conversation offers valuable insights into compassionate, holistic healing. Connect with Claudia's practice at mbscenter.net or by calling 469-573-4354 to explore how their trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach might support your journey toward wellness.

What makes Cameron Whiteman with TrueStar Outdoor Solutions a good neighbor? Transform your ordinary backyard into an outdoor oasis with Cameron Whiteman and TrueStar Outdoor Solutions. From sprawling paver patios to stunning pool remodels, Cameron's passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces shines through in every project his company undertakes. Cameron's journey began between college semesters, spraying grass seed from fire hoses in what's called hydromulching. That experience sparked his love for outdoor work and beautification, eventually leading him to master irrigation and agronomy before launching TrueStar. "I felt like I could treat people better and deliver a better product," Cameron explains, highlighting the values that drive his business today. With over a decade of experience, Cameron offers valuable wisdom to homeowners considering outdoor renovations. He cautions against the temptation to choose the cheapest bid, having witnessed countless projects fall apart just years after completion. A quality outdoor solutions company will have proper insurance, verifiable reviews, and a professional web presence – elements that may increase the initial investment but prevent costly repairs down the road. TrueStar's "boutique service" approach ensures personalized attention, flexibility throughout the project, and a commitment to client satisfaction that goes beyond the final handshake. Beyond his professional expertise, Cameron's multi-year mission work in Mexico shaped his worldview and business ethics. This experience taught him gratitude for the comforts we enjoy in communities like Plano and Frisco while equipping him with Spanish language skills that prove invaluable in the industry. His educational rather than sales-driven approach resonates with homeowners looking for honest guidance in creating their dream outdoor spaces. Ready to elevate your backyard? Connect with Cameron and the TrueStar team through their newly redesigned website at truestaros.com, follow their educational content on Instagram and Facebook @TrueStarOS, or call 469-221-9345 to discuss how they can transform your outdoor living space into something truly extraordinary To learn more about TrueStar Outdoor Solutions go to: https://truestaros.com/ TrueStar Outdoor Solutions 469-447-5143…
What makes Curt Landry and Jordan Bommershime with Done Right Home Professionals a good neighbor? Searching for a trustworthy contractor who'll stick around until the job is done right? Meet Curt Landry and Jordan Bommershime, the father-daughter team behind Done Right Home Professionals, who are transforming the North Dallas remodeling scene with their unique approach to customer satisfaction. Curt shares the company's origin story, which began with an ambitious project turning a 40-bedroom Oklahoma hotel into a charming five-bedroom bed and breakfast. This initial venture sparked his passion for renovation and ultimately led to establishing a business built on an unwavering principle: never leaving until the customer is 100% satisfied. "We named the company Done Right Home Professionals because I hire only top professionals that really understand their craft," Curt explains, highlighting how this commitment has earned them exclusively five-star reviews. What truly distinguishes Done Right from competitors is their integrated design-build approach. As both the company's interior designer and Curt's daughter, Jordan creates detailed renderings that help clients visualize their completed spaces before demolition begins. "There aren't a lot of contracting companies that have an interior designer," Jordan points out. "The nice thing about our company is my dad and I are in constant communication." This seamless collaboration eliminates the communication breakdowns that often plague renovation projects when designers and contractors work separately. The interview takes a poignant turn when Curt shares how losing both parents just two days apart became a defining moment that ultimately strengthened his resolve. Rather than retreating after this tragedy, the family grew closer and more determined to build something meaningful together. Now, with Jordan expecting a son and renovating her own home, the family-centered values that drive their business continue to evolve and expand.

Meet your good neighbor Mae Reedy, founder of a construction company that's breaking the mold in an industry traditionally dominated by men. Mae leads an all-women team that combines design expertise with construction knowledge to deliver transformative home renovations from concept to completion. Growing up as a builder's daughter, Mae initially pursued different paths through business, design, and art before an interior design apprenticeship reconnected her with her construction roots. What began as helping a friend evolved into a thriving business when May was handed a full client roster and decided to lean into complex projects requiring detailed specifications. Her unique approach resonated with clients, generating powerful word-of-mouth referrals that fueled organic growth. Mae doesn't shy away from addressing industry challenges, particularly the lack of contractor licensing requirements in Texas. She advocates for homeowner education, encouraging potential clients to thoroughly vet contractors by examining their voluntary training, business practices, and testimonials. This transparency has helped her build trust with clients, especially women who've had negative experiences with contractors in the past. The podcast takes a personal turn when Mae shares how a second-trimester pregnancy loss became a catalyst for professional transformation.

What makes John Quint with Quint Pro Siding & Windows a good neighbor? What's the real difference between a basic exterior repair and a transformative home upgrade? John Quint, founder of Quint Pro Siding and Windows, answers this question while sharing his eight-year journey running an exterior remodeling company serving the Metro Plains area. Growing up with a father in the home improvement industry, John developed an early passion that eventually led him to establish his own business. After years of observing industry practices while working in retail home improvement and as a manufacturer's rep, he knew he could offer something better. Quint Pro was born from his desire to implement his unique vision for quality exterior remodeling. John dispels the common misconception that "all products, installs, and companies are the same," explaining why estimates vary so dramatically and what homeowners should look for when considering exterior renovations. He draws a fascinating distinction between his target customers—those seeking genuine upgrades to improve performance and eliminate maintenance—versus homeowners simply wanting to restore storm damage. This philosophy extends to his powerful perspective on home improvements as investments rather than expenses, particularly when choosing maintenance-free options that eliminate recurring costs. The conversation takes a personal turn when John reveals how becoming a father transformed his outlook, helping him overcome self-centered tendencies and prioritize family values in his business approach. This personal evolution shapes his company's commitment to customer care and his hands-on involvement in every project. "I take this very personally," he shares, describing the joy he finds in witnessing homeowners' reactions to transformations they've sometimes waited decades to experience.

What makes Dr. JW Stewart with Rally Advising a good neighbor? Dr. JW Stewart knows firsthand how challenging the college admissions process can be without proper guidance. His personal journey—struggling through college, dropping out, and taking six years to complete his bachelor's degree—fueled his passion to become the mentor he never had. Now, as the founder of Rally Advising, he helps high school students navigate the increasingly complex world of college admissions with personalized attention and transparent pricing. The landscape of college admissions continues to evolve, with some institutions now employing AI to filter applications—a development many families aren't even aware of. Dr. Stewart cuts through the noise of social media "quick fixes" and unrealistic promises, offering students and parents a grounded perspective on what truly matters. "The college admission process is not easy," he acknowledges, "but there's lots of opportunity out there. It just requires a good deal of hard work and, unfortunately, a lot of good old-fashioned luck sometimes too." What makes Rally Advising unique is its accessibility. While some college consultants charge up to $10,000 for a year's services—often without publishing their rates—Dr. Stewart maintains full transparency about his fees while delivering individualized guidance. He also honors his roots by providing pro bono services to economically disadvantaged students, ensuring that quality college consulting isn't just for those who can afford it. Having taught at both high school and college levels in the Frisco and Prosper areas, his connections and experience provide valuable insights for families navigating this critical life transition. Visit rallyadvising.com today to learn more about how Dr. Stewart and his team can help your student find the right college fit while reducing the stress that often accompanies this significant life decision.
