What is a good neighbor? Do you consider yourself a good one? It’s important as I struck a cord about good neighbors. After I posted this question on YouTube, I got several comments.
Of course they want to be on my podcast show, not about neighbors really, about they want to share what they are up to, and their businesses.
So I have this slightly embarrassing habit of judging people by how they handle the small stuff. The neighbor who borrows your ladder and returns it before you ask. The colleague who says “actually, I disagree” instead of stewing in silence. That whole dynamic came up in a recent episode of yours, the one on what makes a good neighbor, and it stuck with me because it’s exactly the territory I keep finding myself in. By Goldberg..
Your question in a recent episode really stuck with me: “What’s a good neighbor?” It got me thinking about how often we overlook the quiet contributors in any community, whether that’s a neighborhood or a workplace full of talented people who simply don’t shout the loudest. The same dynamics that make someone a “good neighbor”, showing up consistently, listening deeply, creating belonging, are exactly what introverted leaders bring to teams and communities. But our systems often reward noise over substance. by Marcou

In a recent episode you asked what makes a good neighbor, and honestly, that question gets at the heart of Dr. Price-Linden’s work too. She builds systems where neurodivergent people don’t just survive institutions but actually belong in them, from schools to workplaces to the communities you’re mapping. Linden a CEO
There is a guy who considers himself a podcast agent, and invites people to my show.. one guy I called to see how he would fit, he was not happy that this guy is representing him without his permission.
With some thoughts, what do you think a good neighbor is?
Love to hear your thoughts what a good neighbor is or what one would mean to you.
Did you know there is a Good Neighbor Council?
The Good Neighbor Council was an effort in North Carolina proposed by Governor Terry Sanford to fight racial segregation and encourage the employment of Black people in the state. David S. Coltrane was the first chairman and director of the Good Neighbor Council.
Creation
On January 18, 1963, Governor Terry Sanford created the Good Neighbor Council to help ease racial tensions that were building in the state because of civil rights struggles and integration issues. The purpose of the councils was two-fold: to encourage the employment of qualified people without regard to race; and to encourage youth to become better trained and qualified for employment.[1]
Governor Sanford established this council on January 13, 1968, and appointed David S. Coltrane as the first Chairman and Executive Director. He held this position until his death in 1968.[2][3]
