B•Inspired Podcast would like to introduce our season six premiere featuring special guest Lisa Spicknall. NJ Hall of Fame Broadcast Association Inductee/Producer/Host Bert Baron and Producer /Host Lisa Anderson learn how after years of domestic abuse and the unimaginable loss, Lisa dedicated her life to becoming a Domestic Abuse Advocate.

Additionally, her efforts were influential in the passage of Maryland State legislation that increases the penalties for a second offense in cases of harassment. She was also a key party in the 2016 passing of Noah’s Law, the most effective piece of impaired driving legislation in the state of Maryland.
