    How to Be an Unforgettable Podcast Guest: Ingredients for Success on Any Show

    How to Be an Unforgettable Podcast Guest: Ingredients for Success on Any ShowGuest: Steve Ramsey Host: Julie Riga What separates a forgettable podcast guest from one that hosts cannot stop talking about? In this candid conversation, Julie Riga and Steve Ramsey unpack the real tips every guest needs to show up prepared, authentic, and impactful before the mic even turns on. If you are stepping into podcasting as a guest, this episode is your blueprint. How to Be an Unforgettable Podcast Guest: Ingredients for Success on Any ShowAbout This Episode Julie sits down with Steve Ramsey for an honest conversation about what it truly means to show up as a great podcast guest. From preparation and storytelling to promotion and personal branding, they explore the mindset shifts and practical strategies that transform a nervous guest into a confident, purpose-driven presence. This episode is essential for any leader ready to leverage podcasting for authentic growth and lasting impact. The Three Ingredients for Podcast Guest Success1. Preparation and Research Do your homework on the host and their show before you appear. Listen to several episodes to absorb the tone, vibe, and format. Preparation is the foundation of authentic, confident performance and meaningful connection. 2. Clarity and Simplicity Have a two-sentence introduction ready for the host to use. Offer one clear call to action for the audience, not seven. Be ridiculously easy to work with, a principle inspired by David Averin. Simplicity in your message reflects true mastery of your subject. 3. Storytelling and Authentic Connection Build a personal story vault, a curated collection of go-to stories that reflect your journey, values, and expertise. Open with a story that creates immediate common ground. People do not just want to know what you do. They want to know who you are and why your work matters. Key InsightsThe Story Vault Principle Preparation is not just logistics. It is emotional readiness. Having a curated bank of personal stories means you will never fumble for words mid-interview. Your story is your most powerful leadership tool. The One Call to Action Rule Audiences can only act on one thing at a time. Direct people to a single destination and let that page send them everywhere else. This is strategic simplicity and intentional leadership in practice. The Ridiculously Easy Standard Arrive with your bio, headshot, links, and stories already prepared. Make showing up effortless for your host and your audience at every step. The Screenshot Moment Taking a real-time screenshot and sharing it before the episode drops signals investment, gratitude, and authentic enthusiasm. This is the mark of a guest who leads with purpose and not just promotion. Memorable Quotes"Have a two-sentence introduction ready for the host. Make it ridiculously easy." - Julie Riga "A story creates immediate common ground. I would rather hear your story than what you do." - Julie Riga "School tells us to write a five-page essay. The real world tells us to say it in seven seconds." - Julie Riga Key TakeawaysKnow the show, the host, and your stories before you arriveOne call to action, one introduction, one powerful story creates impactAuthentic storytelling creates connection faster than any title ever willRemove all friction for your host and your audience at every turnShow the world you value the collaboration before, during, and afterConnect with Julie Riga Find Stay On Course on Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen.

  2. The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional Leadership

    5D AGO

    The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional Leadership

    The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional LeadershipGuest: Jim Carbaugh, Educator, Leadership Coach and Author Host: Julie Riga Overview Jim Carbaugh spent 35 years in classrooms and school leadership before turning five letters his grandfather taught him into a framework now adopted by schools and businesses nationwide. His LEARN Framework covers Listen, Ethics, Attitude, Respect, and Know. In this episode, Jim and Julie explore what it takes to build a lasting culture, lead with purpose, and stay curious in a rapidly changing world. The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional LeadershipAbout Jim Carbaugh Jim Carbaugh is a leadership coach, speaker, and author with 35 years in education as a teacher, coach, and school administrator. His LEARN Framework was shaped by a personal story of mentorship passed down by his grandfather and refined through decades of leading people under pressure. He is the founder of All Points Leadership, now transitioning to jimcarbaugh.com, and has a new book releasing soon that walks leaders step by step through the framework. Fun Fact: Jim is a devoted fan of Maryland Hardshell Blue Crabs with Old Bay seasoning and has a reputation for testing the limits of all-you-can-eat seafood restaurants. The Three Ingredients for SuccessListenYour climate controls your culture. Before you can build a great culture, you must first understand the climate you are creating. True listening means entering every conversation with curiosity, not with the intent to fix or to win. Communication does not happen unless the listener confirms understanding. Leaders must listen at every level of the organization and always clarify before anyone leaves the room. EthicsYour non-negotiables are your values in action. Jim leads a team exercise where everyone writes their top three to five non-negotiables. When compared, shared values almost always surface, revealing why conflict was unnecessary in the first place. When leaders stretch beyond their non-negotiables, poor decisions follow. Knowing your values empowers bold choices, including walking away from opportunities that do not align with who you are. KnowNo has two sides. The first is the boundary you set for yourself. The second is the no you will receive from others. We are wired to hear no as permanent, but it is not final. Every yes you have earned came through the no's you navigated. The mindset shift is replacing no with "What if?" Leaders who stay curious, embrace new tools, and keep learning are the ones who will shape what leadership looks like in the years ahead. Memorable Quotes"Your climate controls your culture." "Communication does not happen unless the listener says it does." "In life, we either get better or we get worse. Nothing stays the same." "No is not permanent. The next yes you get came from all the no's you decided to get over." "Leaders need to be curious. That is the bottom line for everything."

  4. Three Keys to Identity, Success in Business and Life

    Three Keys to Identity, Success in Business and Life

    Three Keys to Identity, Success in Business and LifeGuest: Joanna Harabedian, Faith-Based Relationship Strategist, Amazon #1 Bestselling Author and Miss America 2019-2021 Host: Julie Riga Overview What if the greatest challenge you face as a leader is not a business problem but an identity problem? In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, Julie Riga sits down with Joanna Harabedian, Miss America 2019-2021 and Amazon #1 bestselling author of From Solo to Soulmate. Together they unpack three transformational keys to identity that shape success in business and in life. From learning to receive gracefully to rewriting your deepest inner story, Joanna brings spiritual depth, emotional intelligence, and practical wisdom to every woman ready to break free from cycles that no longer serve her. Three Keys to Identity, Success in Business and LifeAbout the Guest Joanna Harabedian is a faith-based relationship strategist, Amazon #1 bestselling author, and Miss America 2019-2021, a title she held for three years due to the COVID pandemic. She helps high-achieving women break unhealthy relationship patterns and build emotionally healthy, God-aligned partnerships. Her Princess Crowning Program has reached hospitals and stages. A defining moment came at a quadriplegic facility in California, where a young woman named Karina, non-responsive for five weeks and silent for five years, began to speak after being crowned. That moment became the foundation of Joanna's mission. Fun Fact: Joanna's favorite food is homemade ravioli with pesto sauce, inspired by her grandfather from Peru. The Three Keys to Identity1. The Ability to Receive High-achieving women are often celebrated givers who never learned to receive. Joanna shares a vivid dream in which a bouquet given in love is slapped back in rejection, and a voice tells her: this is how you make people feel when you decline their compliment. In business, refusing a genuine compliment builds invisible walls and signals distrust. In marriage, it slowly dismantles connection. The practice is simple but powerful: say thank you and receive it fully. 2. Self-Awareness Patterns rooted in childhood do not disappear; they evolve and bleed into every area of life. Joanna references a study where women with fake scars removed before a job interview still reported being treated unfairly because their inner story shaped what they believed others saw. Self-awareness is the key that uncovers the root of those stories. Without it, cycles of unworthiness continue across relationships, career, and leadership. With it, transformation becomes possible. 3. Emotional Intelligence and Alignment Joanna calls it wisdom alignment: the convergence of self-knowledge and purposeful living. She shares her journey through a painful first marriage, asking God to show her how she arrived there, and doing the courageous growth work that led to a thriving decade-long partnership. She teaches that we break twice in life, and that the second break, when met with honesty and faith, becomes the breakthrough that reveals our true purpose. Memorable Quotes"The story you tell yourself about yourself is the most important story you will ever tell." "Little keys unlock big doors, and big doors swing on small hinges." "I help women contrast and complete, not compare and compete." "Diamonds are forged in the fires of the earth. That is how the facets are created."

  5. Why Hiring the Right Coach Changes Everything: The Ingredients for Leadership Growth

    Why Hiring the Right Coach Changes Everything: The Ingredients for Leadership Growth

    Why Hiring the Right Coach Changes Everything: The Ingredients for Leadership GrowthGuest: Kate Hendrickson, Strategic Planning and Leadership Consultant Host: Julie Riga What does it truly take to accelerate your growth, lead with clarity, and build a business that reflects your values? In this episode, Julie sits down with Kate Hendrickson to unpack why hiring the right coach is one of the most transformational decisions a leader can make. From self-awareness and accountability to strategic planning and continuous learning, this conversation delivers purpose-driven insights for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and anyone ready to stop working in their business and start leading it. Why Hiring the Right Coach Changes Everything: The Ingredients for Leadership GrowthAbout This Episode Kate Hendrickson is a strategic planning and leadership consultant with more than two decades of experience helping organizations turn vision into action. With a background spanning television, film, hospitality, and consulting, Kate brings a unique storytelling perspective to leadership and business growth. Julie and Kate explore how the right coaching partnership delivers honest guidance and strategic accountability that accelerates growth with greater clarity. Key Topics Discussed Perspective and Self-Awareness An honest outside view of your leadership blind spots is where transformation begins. A coach helps you identify recurring patterns, face uncomfortable truths, and build the self-awareness needed to lead authentically. Without openness to honest reflection, you will keep getting stuck in the same cycles. Acceleration and Strategic Momentum Moving from reactive firefighting to proactive, purpose-driven planning changes everything. Kate shares a real client story: three years into her business, a leader had no roadmap forward. Through strategic planning workshops, they narrowed priorities and built real, measurable momentum fast. Continuous Learning and Upskilling No CEO ever reaches a point of knowing everything. From AI to organizational change, the landscape keeps shifting. A coach keeps you learning and adapting alongside your business and an ever-evolving world. Curiosity is not optional. It is the job. The Value of Coaching The CEO role is uniquely isolating. You cannot always bring challenges to your staff, and you do not want to burden your family. A trusted advisor who understands your business gives you a safe space to think out loud, course correct, and stay accountable to your vision. Hiring a coach is not a sign something is wrong. It is a sign you care about your business, your people, and your long-term legacy. Kate also introduces the Before I Lead community coaching program, which pairs one-on-one sessions with a peer mastermind group for connection, accountability, and shared growth. Memorable Quotes"If you have got someone who is really going to help you accelerate and stick with you on the long-term journey, it can change everything." "The CEO does not have a boss. That is part of the value of a coach." "Hiring a coach does not mean you are failing. It means you are continuously learning, growing, and caring." Key TakeawaysPerspective reveals what you are too close to see yourselfSelf-awareness is the foundation of authentic leadershipContinuous learning is not optional, it is the jobCommunity and accountability accelerate transformationInvest in yourself the way you invest in your businessConnect with Kate HendricksonWebsite: kate-hendrickson.com Book: Christmas Switch, available now Connect with Julie RigaCoaching: Before I Lead Community coaching for business owners and CEOs Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts.

  6. Lead Where It Matters Most: Homegrown Leadership Starts at Home

    APR 1

    Lead Where It Matters Most: Homegrown Leadership Starts at Home

    Lead Where It Matters Most: Homegrown Leadership Starts at HomeGuest: Joe LaRussa, Mayor, Entrepreneur and Founder of Homegrown Leadership Host: Julie Riga Overview What if the leadership skills driving your professional success could also transform your home life? In this episode, host Julie Riga sits down with Joe LaRussa, small city mayor, entrepreneur, and founder of Homegrown Leadership, to explore one of the most overlooked arenas of personal development: leading at home. After 25 years in automotive manufacturing, Joe saw that high performers bring their best to work while their households run on pressure and chaos. This is a practical guide for overwhelmed spouses and parents ready to stop surviving and start leading with intentionality, systems, and community as their foundation. Lead Where It Matters Most: Homegrown Leadership Starts at HomeAbout This Episode Joe founded Homegrown Leadership to help high performers bring the same systems and mindset from work into their households, creating more time, less stress, and a home they are proud of. Joe and Julie break down three essential ingredients for stronger household leadership: intentionality, systems, and community. Listeners walk away with practical tools like shared calendars and communication rhythms, and a fresh perspective on building a home that runs with clarity instead of pressure. Guest Background Joe LaRussa is the founder of Homegrown Leadership and a sitting small city mayor. Shaped by 25 years in manufacturing, Joe recognized that strategies enabling professional excellence were largely absent in the households of high-performing individuals. Fun Fact: If Joe had to pick one favorite food, it would be a slow-roasted leg of lamb, prepared with herbs, spices, and olive oil. The Three Ingredients for Homegrown Leadership Intentionality is the first ingredient. At work, leaders plan for years. At home, many struggle to decide what is for dinner. The average household leader has about two golden hours per day to lead at home. Elevating out of reactionary mode requires a conscious decision to lead with strategy. Be a laser beam, not a light bulb. Systems and Tools create the structure that sets families free. A shared family calendar is the foundational tool. A whiteboard wall and weekly Sunday planning meetings help the whole household align and prioritize. Fun must be planned, not left to leftover time. The 13 Summers mindset reminds parents how finite their seasons with their children truly are, making intentional planning feel urgent and meaningful. Community is the most forgotten ingredient. Most people cannot name the neighbors behind six doors surrounding their home. True community means having people to call when life gets hard. Isolation is a leadership gap. When households are healthy, neighborhoods are healthy, and when neighborhoods are healthy, communities thrive. Memorable Quotes"It is home where your leadership matters the most." "Your life will never be less complicated than it is today. So do not wait." "It is not on the shared calendar? It does not exist." "When households are healthy, neighborhoods are healthy." Key TakeawaysDecide to lead before the moment arrives. Intentionality is the foundation.Shared systems reduce chaos and build confidence for every member of the household.Community is not optional. Isolation is a leadership problem with a leadership solution.Your golden hours are your greatest daily asset. Use them with purpose.Do not wait. In six months, you will either be glad you started or wish you had.Connect with Joe LaRussaWebsite: www.homegrownleadership.net Free assessments and starter tools are available on the website.

    From Losses to Legacy: The Day Trading System That Builds Generational Wealth

    From Losses to Legacy: The Day Trading System That Builds Generational WealthGuest: Mitch Abel, Founder of Investment Current Host: Julie Riga OverviewWhat happens when retirement arrives and the numbers do not add up? For Mitch Abel, it became the catalyst for a remarkable transformation. After 40 years in sales, Mitch retired in 2015 with a $400,000 portfolio and quickly lost $150,000 in his first six months of day trading. Instead of walking away, he went deeper, rewatching every course, practicing every day, and mastering the three ingredients that changed everything. Today, he has built generational wealth secured in a trust for his grandchildren, and through Investment Current, he is teaching hundreds of others to do the same. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, discipline, and the mindset shift that turns trading into a purposeful system. From Losses to Legacy: The Day Trading System That Builds Generational WealthGuest: Mitch Abel, Founder of Investment Current Host: Julie Riga About This Episode Julie sits down with Mitch Abel, a former social worker turned four-decade sales veteran turned self-made day trading educator, to explore how purpose-driven learning and emotional mastery can transform your financial future. This conversation is about patience, discipline, and emotional control as the foundation for lasting wealth and a legacy that outlives you. The Three Ingredients for Trading SuccessPatience is the foundation. Winning and losing are both part of the game. Learning to read market language, chart patterns, and price action takes time. The market moves up, down, and sideways, and responding well to each requires consistent daily practice. Discipline means following a clear set of rules every single day. Mitch applies the 10 percent rule: never risk more than 10 percent of your total portfolio on a single trade. Treating trading as a business, not a pastime, separates those who build wealth from those who walk away. Emotional control is the hardest ingredient of all. Fear and greed destroy most traders. Mitch partners with Randy Howell, a psychologist who works exclusively with traders, to help students stay calm and stay on course. The technical side of trading can be learned in months. Mastering your emotions is the deeper work. Key InsightsMitch lost $150,000 in six months, then recovered every dollar within the next six months through relentless study and disciplined practice. Within three years, money was no longer a concern. He structured his wealth in a skip-generational trust so his grandchildren begin receiving distributions at age 40, after learning to earn and build for themselves. Investment Current serves four communities: young adults seeking financial independence, career changers escaping corporate life, pre-retirees building a retirement runway, and retirees seeking purpose and daily income. All four follow the same core framework of patience, discipline, and emotional control.

    Meditation to Manifestation: Building the Business of Your Dreams with Katie Krimitsos

    Meditation to Manifestation: Manifesting the Business of Your DreamsGuest: Katie Krimitsos, Founder and CEO of Women's Meditation Network Host: Julie Riga Overview What if manifestation isn't about vision boards and morning affirmations? In this powerful episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, host Julie Riga sits down with Katie Krimitsos, founder of the Women's Meditation Network, a platform reaching nearly 3 million downloads each month and ranking in the top 0.1% of all podcasts worldwide. Katie reveals how meditation is the ultimate gateway to manifestation, self-leadership, and intentional life design. From clearing subconscious money blocks to writing into the future, this transformative episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven growth, authentic alignment, and the courageous journey of becoming who you were always meant to be. Meditation to Manifestation: Manifesting the Business of Your DreamsAbout Katie KrimitsosKatie Krimitsos is the Founder and CEO of the Women's Meditation Network, helping millions of women reconnect with themselves through guided meditation and practical, proven life design tools. Her new course, Meditation to Manifestation, pairs deep inner work with actionable journaling techniques to help women consciously build the business and life they truly want. Fun Fact: Katie bakes a fresh sourdough loaf every week on her 15-acre family farm and says she is probably the only one eating it! The Three Ingredients for Success1. Deep Self-Awareness Through Meditation Meditation is not about clearing your mind or sitting cross-legged at 5 a.m. It is about knowing yourself so deeply that you can hear your intuition, access your clarity, and lead from within. Even five deep breaths taken in the driveway counts as a meaningful practice. 2. Alignment Alignment means your beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions are all moving in the same direction. Katie uses the image of a garden hose: when there are kinks and knots, the water cannot flow. When the hose is laid out flat, the water flows freely. Your dreams are the water. Remove the kinks. 3. Intentional Life Design Pick up a pen. Write into the future you want, as though it has already happened. This free, simple practice activates intention and opens the door to manifestation. Julie manifested five European cities this way as a single mom, and it worked. Key InsightsManifestation is not a vision board. It is the natural byproduct of full alignment between who you are and how you live.Subconscious stories around money, worthiness, and identity create the kinks that quietly block your flow. Awareness is always the first step.Meditation in any form builds the capacity to pause, hear your intuition, and respond thoughtfully to life rather than react to it.Presence is the practice. Stress and anxiety only exist when we leave the present moment. Stillness brings us back to where our joy and guidance live.You are the author of your own life. Self-leadership begins the moment you pick up the pen and choose to write a new story.Memorable Quotes"Manifestation is a natural byproduct of alignment. When what you believe, think, say, and do are all in agreement, that is when it flows." "The most important ingredient for success, no matter what success looks like to you, is a deep knowing of yourself." "The water is meant to flow. Your dreams are already yours."
