With Executive Producer Leila Carter

Pittsburgh has always been a city of bold ideas, hard work, and deep roots. From its steel-forged industrial legacy to its modern transformation into a leader in robotics, AI, healthcare, and innovation, the city thrives on resilience and reinvention. Today, neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, East Liberty, and the Strip District buzz with tech startups, creative studios, and small businesses that reflect the city’s unshakable entrepreneurial spirit.

At the heart of Good Neighbor Podcast: Pittsburgh is Executive Producer Leila Carter, whose own journey reflects the values that make this city so special. Leila is the founder of Jade Roller Beauty, a wellness brand that supplied luxury spas and retailers with natural gemstone lymphatic tools. With a background in business management and experience in the spa industry in both Pittsburgh and Charlotte, Leila built her company on a foundation of healing, intention, and hustle.

When the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted her business, Leila leaned into storytelling — choosing to elevate the voices of others through podcasting. Now, with GNP Pittsburgh, she brings local business owners, community leaders, and everyday changemakers to the mic to share their stories, passions, and impact. Her interviews are thoughtful, empowering, and grounded in a genuine desire to serve the community.

Leila’s creativity doesn’t stop with podcasting — she’s also an acrylic artist whose work has appeared in benefit galas for children’s hospitals. When she’s not recording or creating, you’ll find her in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, curating skincare rituals, walking her beloved Pomeranian, or embracing her favorite title: “super aunt.”

Good Neighbor Podcast: Pittsburgh is more than just conversations — it’s a platform that highlights the heartbeat of the city: its people. Tune in to get inspired and get connected — because in Pittsburgh, being a good neighbor is just how we do things.
