In this joyful, eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Jacqueline Faffer, President & CEO of Baker Senior Center Naples, one of only 111 accredited senior centers in the U.S. and the only one of its kind offering comprehensive care — from mental health to memory care to ukulele lessons — all under one roof.

Dr. Faffer shares how her journey from New Jersey youth leader to nationally recognized senior advocate began with a key to the city for the Beatles (!) and led to building a 30,000 sq ft haven of purpose and community in Southwest Florida.

From the science of music and memory to the myth of aging as decline, this episode is packed with wisdom, heart, and a few laugh-out-loud surprises (including why a 100-year-old vet had to be bleeped on the news).

🏟️ In this special on-location episode, we sit down with Adrian Moses, the dynamic General Manager of Paradise Coast Sports Complex. From coaching with the New York Red Bulls to launching Collier County’s first professional soccer team, Adrian shares a remarkable journey of leadership, vision, and resilience — including how a cancer diagnosis redefined his mission in life.

We talk about community impact, sports as a vehicle for healing and empowerment, and the incredible story of how a world-class sports facility rose from an empty field to a nationally recognized destination.

Adrian’s story is a masterclass in heart-led leadership, grit, and creating something extraordinary out of pure purpose.

In this episode of Spotlight on Good People, we sit down with a woman whose life is the very definition of showing up for those who need it most — Linda Goldfield, CEO of Youth Haven in Naples, Florida.

Youth Haven isn’t just a shelter — it’s a lifeline for children and teens in our community who have been displaced by abuse, neglect, or homelessness. And at the center of that mission is Linda — a leader who calls herself “just an average girl doing good work” — but whose impact tells a much bigger story.

In this conversation, Linda shares:
- Her journey into nonprofit leadership
- The heartbreak and hope of working with vulnerable kids
- The power of being a consistent adult in a child’s life
- The $20 million dream project she’s leading to expand mental health services at Youth Haven
- The lessons that have shaped her into the kind of leader who leads with heart first, every single time.

Topics We Cover:
- Why showing up is the work
- Building trust with kids who’ve been let down
- How to stay grounded doing emotionally heavy work
- Leadership lessons learned in the trenches
- The legacy Linda hopes to leave behind
- And why she believes “you find what you seek”
- This is a conversation about heart work (and hard work) and what happens when a good person decides to use their life to lift others.
