Parita Kuttappan, Professional Coach, on Energy Management

Parita Kuttappan, Professional Coach, LIVE from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 893)

Parita Kuttappan, a certified professional coach, joined host John Ray live from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit to share insights from her keynote on energy and how we manage it.

Parita explained how energy functions like a bank account, where daily choices and long-term habits determine whether we thrive or become depleted. She introduced a framework of six areas of influence, including physical, social, and emotional, that affect energy levels and encouraged participants to journal or track patterns to recognize where their energy is being drained.

She also emphasized the importance of proactive self-care, from small restorative practices to cultivating supportive relationships, so we do not end up “in the red” energetically. Her encouragement to allow ourselves grace and to stop wearing the “superwoman cape” reminded the audience that strength is built through awareness, balance, and self-compassion.

This interview was originally broadcast live from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit held on August 12, 2025, at The Commons at Phase in Alpharetta, Georgia. John Ray Co. and North Fulton Business Radio were the Media Sponsors for this year’s Summit.

Mercedez Jackson from the Fulton County Schools Social Services Department joined host John Ray live from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit to share her insights from her keynote address at the event on building resilience in the face of fear and stress.

Mercedez discussed the importance of self-awareness, naming and normalizing our fears, and recognizing how stress manifests differently for each person. She explained the continuum of mental health, ranging from excelling to crisis, and emphasized how awareness and intentional strategies, such as asking for help, delegating, or pausing before responding, can help individuals move toward thriving.

Her encouragement to “sit in the uncomfortable space” and remember that feelings pass provided the audience with both practical tools and hope. Mercedez also underscored the power of empathy and honest communication in relationships at home and at work.

Mercedez reminds us that resilience is not about avoiding hardship but choosing to move forward with courage, self-reflection, and the right support.

How Banks Shape Workforce Housing in North Fulton

August 22, 2025 by John Ray

North Fulton Studio

How Banks Shape Workforce Housing in North Fulton

00:00 /

How Banks Shape Workforce Housing in North Fulton (North Fulton Voices, Episode 13)

Affordable housing is often discussed in terms of zoning, development, or politics, but the financial system behind it is just as critical. In this episode of North Fulton Voices, hosts Jack Murphy and Kathy Swahn examine workforce housing through the banking lens with Antonio Henson of Renasant Bank and Scott Doll of American Commerce Bank.

Antonio and Scott explain how the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) shapes what banks can and cannot do, and why CRA responsibilities go beyond loans to include financial literacy, board service, and community investment. The conversation also explores specific tools, from down payment assistance and Federal Home Loan Bank grants to manufactured housing and consortium lending, that can make projects financially viable.

Along the way, the guests unpack the toughest barriers, including land costs and loan risk, and highlight why creativity and collaboration among banks, developers, and municipalities are essential. For listeners in North Fulton and beyond, the episode offers a candid view of how financial institutions weigh risk, balance shareholder obligations with community needs, and use regulatory frameworks to help expand housing access for essential workers.

North Fulton Voices is presented by the North Fulton Improvement Network. The show series is proudly sponsored by John Ray Co. and North Fulton Business Radio, LLC.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Housing Costs Outpace Income: Median home prices in North Fulton far exceed what many essential workers can afford
Banks as Enablers: While banks don’t build houses, they finance developers, provide loan products, and support community services through CRA obligations
CRA Requirements: Banks must demonstrate community impact through lending, investment, and service — from financial literacy programs to nonprofit board work
Creative Financing Tools: Down payment assistance, manufactured housing, and partnerships with community development financial institutions (CDFIs) can reduce barriers
Land as the Biggest Barrier: High land costs remain the toughest challenge, but land trusts and consortium lending models offer potential solutions
Moving Forward: Collaboration among banks, municipalities, and developers is essential to create realistic workforce housing opportunities

The North Fulton Improvement Network (NFIN) is a think tank made up of community leaders from various sectors, focused on missing middle housing and the livability challenges confronting North Fulton. Its members come from the six cities constituting the northern half of Fulton County, Georgia—Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, Roswell, and Sandy Springs—and are working to address the widespread yet little-known financial vulnerability across the region. With stakeholders from sectors including business, nonprofit, faith, government, and citizens, NFIN centers their work on five areas of impact, seeks to educate the public about these issues, builds a network of individuals and organizations with innovative private and public solutions, and connects resources to those in need.

The leadership team of NFIN is Jack Murphy, Nancy Diamond, and Kathy Swahn.

Kathy transitioned back to work by jumping into the non-profit world.

Over those years, The Drake House served over 500 single mothers with over 1,000 children and grew the assets of the organization to over $4 million.

Kathy continues to serve The Drake House on the Advocacy Committee, along with her work for NFIN.

She spends much of her time traveling to the DC area, where her children and grandchildren reside.

How Mentorship Transforms: Five Men by Dave Schmit (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 884)

What happens when you reflect on the people who shaped your character, not just your career?

Dave Schmit, principal of Schmit + Associates and author of Five Men: The Transformative Power of Mentorship, joins host John Ray for a moving conversation about the mentors who changed his life. From his father and a high school baseball coach to a faith leader who walked with him through unimaginable grief, Dave shares how each man left a lasting imprint. Their influence continues to guide his work, his family, and his approach to leadership.

This episode is not about business tips. It is about legacy. It is about the quiet power of showing up for someone else. Dave’s book is an invitation to reflect on the mentors in your own life and the person you could become for someone who needs you.

John Ray is the host of North Fulton Business Radio. The show is produced by John Ray and North Fulton Business Radio, LLC, an affiliate of Business RadioX®, and is recorded inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Mentorship is built over time: Dave’s mentors spanned decades and shaped every part of his life—vocational, personal, and spiritual.
Mentors speak hard truths: The most meaningful guidance often comes in the form of tough love, delivered with care.
Mentorship vs. coaching: Unlike coaching, true mentorship is grounded in long-term relationships and mutual respect.
Anyone can be a mentor: teachers, bosses, priests, parents; many roles can become mentoring relationships when trust and consistency are present.
Mentorship can heal division: Dave and his book’s preface writer, Egbert Perry, highlight how mentorship fosters understanding in a divided world.

The Transformational Work of the STAR House Foundation (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 883)

In Roswell, Georgia, hundreds of children face steep challenges outside the classroom. Those challenges don’t stop when the school day ends. That’s where the STAR House Foundation comes in.

In this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, host John Ray speaks with Windy Nicholson, Maureen Curtis, and Alejandra Torchia of the STAR House Foundation, a nonprofit that provides free, on-site afterschool programs for underserved children at Title I elementary schools. These programs offer more than academic help. They provide character development, emotional support, healthy snacks, and consistent encouragement from trusted adults.

A $1,000 donation funds a full year of support for one child. Many former students are now returning as volunteers, educators, and even board members. Their “32 STARS for 32 Years” campaign aims to raise $32,000 to expand the mission and reach even more children.

If you believe every child deserves a strong start and a real chance to thrive, this conversation will show you what that looks like in action.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Early intervention matters: Reading proficiency by third grade is a strong predictor of long-term academic success. STAR House helps students build that foundation.
On-campus access: STAR House operates after school in Title I schools at no cost to families, with a six-to-one student-to-coach ratio.
A full-circle model: Former students are now volunteers, educators, and board members—proof of long-term transformation.
High-impact giving: Just $1,000 supports a child for an entire year of afterschool care, tutoring, and personal development.
Community powered: STAR House depends on individual donors, sponsors, volunteers, and corporate partners to fulfill its mission.
Current campaign: “32 STARS for 32 Years” seeks to raise $32,000 to fund the upcoming school year for underserved students in Roswell.

Whitney Teal on the Power of Communications Over Marketing (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 881)

Whitney Teal, founder of The Teal Bridge, joins host John Ray for an insightful conversation about why most small businesses are focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to visibility. A self-described communications specialist, not a marketer, Whitney breaks down how reframing your outreach around communications rather than marketing can lead to deeper client relationships, more meaningful engagement, and content that actually resonates.

She explains the importance of vulnerability in business, explains how to present authentically on podcasts and social media without oversharing, and explains why she believes podcasting is one of the most underutilized tools for building trust. Drawing on her radio background and current work with service-based businesses and thought leaders, Whitney offers a refreshing and practical take on what it means to show up, sincerely and consistently, for your audience.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Stop saying “marketing.” Instead, start thinking “communications.” It changes how you show up and how others connect with you.
Podcast guesting and hosting are powerful tools for storytelling, not selling.
Vulnerability builds trust, but there’s an art to doing it well and meaningfully.
You don’t need to chase trends or go viral. Consistency, authenticity, and relationships win.
Thought leaders, lawyers, CPAs, and nonprofits can all thrive with message-first strategies, even in highly regulated industries.
Your brand isn’t what you say; it’s what others say when they see or meet you.

How to Make Confident Decisions Under Pressure, with Retired Major General Jack Briggs (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 879)

Retired Major General Jack Briggs joins John Ray to share hard-earned insights on leading through crisis and making confident decisions under pressure. Drawing from more than three decades of military leadership, including 225 combat sorties and his role as Director of Operations at U.S. Northern Command, Jack explains why clarity, humility, and decisiveness are essential for leaders navigating high-stakes situations. He introduces a practical framework built around four key questions that can guide any leader through complexity and chaos.

Now serving in higher education and advising institutions across sectors, Jack brings these lessons into boardrooms, university leadership teams, and nonprofit strategy sessions. Whether you’re leading a business, a team, or a mission-driven organization, this episode will challenge how you think about crisis, redefine what it means to be decisive, and help you build a more grounded, confident leadership style when it matters most.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Great crisis decision-makers share three core traits: they operate from clear principles, they ask others for help, and they know when and how to act decisively.
The quality of the decision matters more than the outcome. Good decisions can lead to bad outcomes—and vice versa—but relying on luck isn’t a strategy.
A crisis is a category error. You don’t solve a crisis. You solve the underlying problems that make it feel like a crisis.
Leaders should ask four key questions during any crisis: What do we know? What don’t we know? What are we doing about it? Who else needs to know?
Emotional regulation starts with the leader. If you overreact, your team will escalate. If you stay calm, they have room to respond effectively.
Decisiveness is a skill that can be trained, not just a personality trait. It flows from having clear values and drawing on diverse input.
Leaders should cultivate approachability, empathy, fierce advocacy for their team, and clarity in communication before the crisis hits.
