Meet the team
Jarret Servance
Hey, I’m Jarrett A. Servance, co-host of Influential Conversations! I’m all about sparking real, thought-provoking discussions that matter—whether it’s relationships, tech, trending topics, entrepreneurship, sports, or entertainment.
Born and raised in Gainesville, FL, my journey has taken me through public service, corrections, and mental health advocacy, giving me a unique perspective on people, systems, and the culture. I believe in approaching every conversation with empathy, objectivity, and a touch of humor because real talk should be engaging, not just informative.
Outside the podcast, I’m a creative entrepreneur with a deep love for research, poetry, and theater. I thrive on sharing insights, connecting with others, and exploring new ideas. Laughter, storytelling, and authenticity drive everything I do, and I can’t wait to keep the conversation going.
Join me on Influential Conversations—let’s break things down, challenge perspectives, and have some fun along the way!
Neferteri Banks
I’m a creative entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and tech-savvy media influencer with a vibe that’s all about authenticity and connection. My journey started with a Bachelor’s in Mass Communications, where I got to flex my skills in broadcast production—think radio shows and music videos that hit just right. That behind-the-scenes hustle taught me the power of storytelling and the magic of bringing ideas to life.
But life threw me a curveball, and I found my true calling in mental health. I dove in headfirst, starting from the ground up and working my way to a Master’s in Mental Health Community Counseling. I’ve worked across the board—private sector, state, federal—you name it. My mission? Helping people navigate their challenges with compassion and a side of real talk.
I’m all about embracing multiple passions. Some say niche down; I say own your diversity! Whether it’s tech trends, entrepreneurship, or just sharing a good laugh, I’m here for it all. My unique personality is a mix of humor, perspective, and a whole lot of love for what I do.
When I’m not out here uplifting others, you can catch me vibing with family, mentoring young minds, hitting up concerts, or collaborating with my business partner on projects that push boundaries.
Let’s link up and create something extraordinary together!
