You have the title and the wins, and still something is asking for more: more meaning, more alignment, a success that finally feels like success from the inside out. That is why this show exists. Every week, Stay On Course: Ingredients for Success sits you down with the founders, executives, and purpose-driven leaders who have walked the road you are on, and asks the real question: what are the ingredients that actually made the difference? You listen because you are done with surface-level advice and ready for the inner work, the honest stories, and the proof that you can lead with clarity and conviction even when the path is not clear. Here is what you take away. Every guest brings three ingredients for success, and every episode hands you something you can use before the week is over. You leave with sharper confidence and executive presence, the mindset shifts that quiet imposter syndrome and turn fear into fuel, the resilience to scale without burning out, the courage to lead through the messy middle, and the storytelling that makes your message land.

    Audree Grubesic: The Five Pillars of Heart Centered Leadership

    Audree Grubesic: The Five Pillars of Heart Centered Leadership Audree brings decades of experience in modular construction, real estate, and business strategy. After years of eighteen hour workdays, she began a personal transformation rooted in meditation, gratitude, and breathwork. That journey led her to create the five pillars framework and Becoming Human Again Events, where leaders gather to reconnect with themselves and lead from a grounded place. The five pillars begin with awareness, which is noticing emotions, patterns, and energy within and around us. Audree explains the difference between masculine energy, which drives goals and decisions, and feminine energy, which builds relationships and listens deeply. A reactive leader creates tension and confusion, while a responsive leader creates clarity and trust. The second pillar is identity. Audree outlines four steps: recognizing the identity currently driving decisions, releasing beliefs that no longer serve growth, redefining values and leadership identity with intention, and embodying that identity consistently so it becomes visible and trusted. The third pillar is purpose. Audree frames purpose as a strategic advantage rather than an emotional idea. Purpose provides direction during uncertainty and focus during distraction. She encourages leaders to ask what matters most, what values guide their decisions, and what they are naturally gifted to create. The fourth pillar is connection. Audree describes building relationships as an act of service, encouraging leaders to ask how they can help rather than what they can gain. She credits the coaching frameworks Julie provided for helping her structure her companies and clarify her own leadership identity. The final pillar is integration, which brings the other four pillars together through daily practice. Audree shares her own routine of breath awareness, gratitude, body awareness, and future self visualization, and leads Julie through a simple sixty second breathing reset live during the episode. Throughout the conversation, Audree emphasizes that the most powerful tools for growth cost nothing. Meditation, gratitude journaling, and breathwork are free, yet they can completely shift the mindset and energy of a leader. Audree also reflects on the importance of community, encouraging entrepreneurs to seek support rather than face challenges alone. She also shares the practice of naming each year with a guiding word, a tool she and Julie both use to stay focused on their intentions. Audree closes the episode with an invitation to Becoming Human Again Events, taking place in Savannah, Georgia on October 16th, where Julie will serve as keynote speaker alongside business coaches and empowerment leaders. She leaves listeners with a powerful question: what would you change if you fully trusted yourself, and how would that change you today. This episode is a reminder that leadership starts from within, and that small, consistent practices can transform how leaders show up for their teams, their families, and themselves.

    Aurora Winter: Become the Authority AI Quotes, Not the Expert It Replaces

    Aurora Winter: Become the Authority AI Quotes, Not the Expert It Replaces Guest Background Aurora Winter is a bestselling author of more than ten books, an award-winning television and film writer-producer, a media strategist, and the founder of Same Page Publishing. With a background spanning Hollywood screenwriting, neuroscience-driven messaging, and thought leadership development, Aurora has built a reputation for helping entrepreneurs and executives turn their stories into scalable brands, books, and businesses. Her latest book, Turn Words into Wealth, outlines seven ways to launch as a thought leader in the age of AI. Fun Fact: Aurora's favorite food is sushi. A rainbow roll to be exact, fresh only, and never from an airport. The Four Human Superpowers AI Cannot Replace Your Stories: Lived experience, breakthroughs, and hard-won wisdom are uniquely yours. Generic AI content destroys brand differentiation; authentic storytelling builds it. Stories are what people remember and repeat for free. Your Coaching and Leadership Skill: Great coaches ask powerful questions and wait for discovery. That process builds new neural pathways and creates lasting transformation. AI delivers passive answers; great leaders create active change. Your Mastery and Judgment: AI is only as good as the expertise guiding it. Identify where you are masterful and use AI to scale that strength. Your Creativity and Authenticity: AI has no creative soul. Your unique perspective, voice, and vision are irreplaceable. Leaning into creativity at any age drives personal growth and builds new neural pathways. The Three Strategic Frameworks The Movie Trailer Mindset: You have eight seconds to grab attention. Start with the problem you solve or a compelling story. Video registers as memorable in as little as 1.7 seconds according to Meta research. The Netflix Series Strategy: Think beyond the single post or episode. Design content as a connected journey where each piece builds toward transformation and positions your audience to take the next step. The Waterfall Method: Solve each problem completely, then reveal the next logical challenge. Each offer becomes the natural next step after the one before it. Key Takeaways Lead with your story. Your lived experience is your most defensible advantage in the age of AI. Sell transformation, not information. AI has made information a commodity. You are the driver. AI is the vehicle. You set the destination. Grab attention in eight seconds. Lead with the problem or the story, never your name first. Think in series. Design your content and offers as a connected journey, not isolated moments.

  4. Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 2 | The Neuroscience of Resistance and Leading Yourself Through Transformation

    Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 2 | The Neuroscience of Resistance and Leading Yourself Through Transformation

    Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 2 | The Neuroscience of Resistance and Leading Yourself Through Transformation Travis Hahler is the Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and the founder of Neurological Nomad. His book Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change is available now on Amazon and major booksellers. Fun Fact: Travis upgraded his answer this time. His favorite is a bolognese made with ground rabbit. You have to go to Italy to get the original. What You Will Learn The six neurological barriers to change and why they exist in every human brain Why all change is loss and how the brain registers that as threat How exclusion, ambiguity, and anxiety each activate the brain's threat response Why corporate employees and entrepreneurs experience resistance in different ways The three core losses driving the most resistance: competence, control, and relationships How to use the six barriers as a personal checklist when resistance rises Why identity language matters: "I am becoming" is neurologically different from "I am trying" Why growth mindset is the defining competency of the AI transformation era How leader empathy produces better change outcomes Why resistance is not personal; it is protective Key Insights The most important question during change: what am I afraid to lose right now? Corporate employees lack autonomy before change begins, making imposed change even harder Entrepreneurs carry a false sense of control; external forces can upend their path without warning Community and accountability are the infrastructure of lasting transformation, not a luxury Leadership is an inside game; you cannot lead others through change you have not faced yourself Resistance is protective, not a character flaw; meet it with grace, not judgment Memorable Quotes "All change is really loss. Positive change, negative change, all lost." "When leaders understand how hard it is for people to move, that empathy builds better change." "Resistance is not personal. It is protective." "Leadership is spiritual. It is an inside game." - Julie Riga "Stay on course. You are going to get knocked down. Do the thing anyway." - Julie Riga Who Should Listen Leaders, entrepreneurs, and solopreneurs navigating transformation and the pressure to keep moving when everything feels hard. If you have ever felt like quitting on a Friday and found yourself back at it on Monday, this episode was made for you. Your Next Step Ask yourself one question today: what am I afraid to lose right now? Sit with the answer. That is where your growth begins.

    Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 1 | Leading Humans Through AI Transformation

    Travis Hahler: Wired for Change, Part 1 | Leading Humans Through AI Transformation Travis Hahler is the Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and the founder of Neurological Nomad. His book Rethink Resistance, publishing June 23rd, explores how leaders can embrace human biology to drive meaningful change. Fun Fact: Travis loves a good pasta. Red sauce, vodka sauce, white sauce, all the sauces. You simply cannot go wrong. What You Will Learn Why telling employees to "go play" with AI activates fear rather than innovation How the brain defaults to the worst-case narrative when faced with ambiguity Why early adopters are only about two and a half percent of any workforce How to give your team clarity around what innovation means in their role Why group exploration is safer and more effective than solo adoption How ninety percent of AI users are only chatting with it, not leveraging its potential Why building competence over time beats trying to master everything at once How resisting AI to protect your job is the fastest path to losing it Why leadership is evolving from systems thinking to challenge and reinvention Key Insights Clarity is the foundation of transformation; define innovation before you ask for it Resistance is neurological, not personal; the brain defaults to protection under ambiguity Group adoption accelerates individual progress and lowers perceived risk Competence builds confidence, and confidence enables lasting change Staying still in the age of AI is a career risk, not a safe choice Leaders who thrive will model curiosity, adaptability, and purpose-driven growth Memorable Quotes "Everyone is talking about AI, but no one is talking about how they are going to do it." "People's brains automatically go to the negative." "You do not have to solve everything. Start with the basics." "Trying to hold on to your job is not going to help you save it." "AI is the buffet. You could get whatever you want, however you want it." Who Should Listen Leaders, executives, and professionals navigating AI adoption without a clear roadmap. If you are struggling with workforce resistance, unclear innovation mandates, or leading people through uncertainty, this conversation offers practical strategy and a neuroscience-informed view on why change feels hard. Your Next Step Start with one question: what is one task in your daily work that AI could make easier? Do not try to reinvent everything. Build from there. Leadership in the age of AI means showing up with curiosity, not perfection.

    Theresa Benvenuto: Fathers, Legacy, and Living Your Purpose

    Theresa Benvenuto: Fathers, Legacy, and Living Your Purpose This special Father's Day edition of the Stay On Course Podcast brings together two women bonded through loss, faith, and a shared belief in purpose-driven living. Theresa and Julie each lost their fathers ten years ago. Together they explore what it means to grieve authentically, honor a legacy, and carry forward the lessons their fathers instilled in them. ️ About Theresa Benvenuto Theresa Benvenuto is the Doctor of Connections, with a remarkable gift for building meaningful relationships and helping others discover where their strengths, purpose, and people truly align. She brings her expertise in connection alongside her story of loss and legacy to this conversation. Fun Fact: Theresa's favorite dish is eggplant parmesan made the traditional way, with flour so the eggplant melts on the tongue. Her late mother-in-law made the best version she has ever tasted. What You Will Hear in This Episode Grief Has No Rules There is no timeline for loss. Julie shares how grief broke through at a Trader Joe's checkout just two days after losing her father. Theresa reflects on how it still arrives unexpectedly a decade later. Authentic grieving means following your own path, not someone else's timeline. The Gifts Our Fathers Left Behind Julie grieved her father by completing his life story and turning it into a book. Theresa is still sorting through her late father's baseball card collection, discovering handwritten letters he wrote to Brooklyn Dodgers legends. Both describe these inheritances as gifts that keep on giving. Our Fathers as Cheerleaders Julie's father became her greatest supporter after retirement, calling daily and cheering her on. Theresa's father attended her doctoral graduation just five months before he passed. Both speak to the irreplaceable loss of the person who believed in you without condition. Purpose, Legacy, and Letting Children Be Themselves A candid conversation about pursuing your true calling without waiting for approval. Julie reflects on wanting to sing, write, and build a business while those closest to her waited to believe it until they saw it done. People living in regret often blame others for things they never gave themselves permission to do. Signs from the Other Side Cardinals in the backyard. Roma tomatoes in impossible places. Both Julie and Theresa share the comfort of believing their fathers are still sending signs and cheering them on from heaven. Key Takeaways Grieve authentically on your own terms Look for the legacy your loved ones left behind Your purpose is yours alone to pursue Do the thing, even without approval Our fathers went first so we would believe anything is possible Special Note: Theresa's daughter begins medical school in July and runs the New York City Marathon in November to raise funds for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. If your father is still here, cherish every moment. If he is gone, trust he is still guiding you. Follow your purpose and do the thing he believed you could do. https://stacklist.app/julieriga #FathersDay #Legacy #PurposeDriven #StayOnCourse #GriefAndGrowth Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Give First and Win Bigger: How Great Partnerships Start with Generosity, Not Negotiation

    Give First and Win Bigger: How Great Partnerships Start with Generosity, Not Negotiation Guest: Stan Valo, Founder of eDots Host: Julie Riga Overview What if the key to business growth wasn't in closing deals, but in giving first? In this episode of Stay On Course, Julie Riga sits down with Stan Valo, founder of eDots and a 21-year e-commerce veteran, to explore a transformational mindset shift. Stan unpacks his three-ingredient recipe for partnership success that helped him build a purpose-driven business where the yeses come easily, clients become true collaborators, and value flows in every direction. Whether you are a solopreneur, executive, or founder, this episode is a masterclass in intentional relationship-building, strategic growth, and legacy-driven leadership. Give First and Win Bigger: How Great Partnerships Start with Generosity, Not Negotiation About Stan Valo Stan Valo is the founder of eDots, an e-commerce growth engine that helps brands, manufacturers, and distributors scale across new online marketplaces and sales channels. With over 21 years in the industry, Stan developed a performance-only partnership model that blends agency services with distribution expertise. His philosophy, "I don't sell, I solve," reflects his commitment to authentic leadership, purpose-driven business, and building lasting professional relationships.   Fun Fact: Stan's favorite food is his grandmother's stuffed peppers with sour cream, a cherished recipe from her home country of Moldova. Stan's Three-Ingredient Recipe for Partnership Success   1. Go First: Give Unconditionally In negotiation, the one who speaks first loses. In partnerships, the one who gives first wins. Lead every new relationship with introductions and referrals, no strings attached. Ask "who can I help you meet?" and watch generosity build the foundation of lasting trust. 2. Be a Solver: Solve Something Meaningful Stan's core mantra is simple: don't sell, solve. Focus on real problems rather than closing transactions. When you solve meaningfully, value overflows and the relationship deepens naturally. The best leaders are solvers who match people with exactly what they need. 3. Create Undeniable Value for Both Sides Value must flow in both directions for a partnership to last. Choose your partners wisely, start light, and let the relationship evolve before committing deeper. Think of it like dating before marriage: coffee first, then friends, then family. Integrity is everything. Memorable Quotes "In a negotiation, the one that talks first loses. In partnerships, the one that goes first wins." "I don't sell, I solve. I've never had to negotiate a single deal." "It's hard to get a no when you're offering so much." "I don't have a contact form. I have an application form. That changes the dynamic." Key Takeaways for Leaders Give Before You Ask - Lead with generosity. Start with a gift of value: an introduction, a connection, or an insight. Trust and opportunity follow naturally. Shift from Selling to Solving - The most powerful transformation in business is moving from transaction to contribution. Solve real problems and the yeses follow. Build Relationships, Not Contracts - Start light, prove your value, and let partnership depth grow organically over time. Stay Narrow and Know Your Strengths - Clarity of focus amplifies impact. Build a power team of trusted partners who complement your core strengths. Integrity Is Your Growth Engine - Authentic connection without an agenda is the ultimate long-game strategy and the foundation of lasting legacy.
