Founder's Story: Bullied, Broken, and Built for Purpose Part 1 What You Will Learn:

Four years into hosting the Stay On Course Podcast, Julie Riga steps into the guest seat to share the story she has never fully told before. From honoring her father's legacy to surviving Graves disease, from eating lunch alone in a high school bathroom to becoming a leadership coach and transformation catalyst, Julie's journey is proof that our hardest seasons carry our greatest lessons.

Key Topics:

The Heart Behind Stay On Course:

  • Why Julie created the Stay On Course Podcast four years ago
  • How her father's words of faith became the soul of the brand
  • The meaning behind "Stay on course" and why it carries so much weight

Lesson One: The Kid Who Had Lunch in the Bathroom:

  • Being bullied from age five and the identity it almost stole
  • Spending high school years eating lunch alone due to isolation and illness
  • The quiet inner voice that carried her through: "They do not know who you are. They do not know who you will become."

The Surgery That Changed Everything:

  • Undiagnosed Graves disease discovered at 16 after a life-threatening surgery
  • Being rushed to the ICU and the doctor's warning to her mother
  • How her senior year marked the turning point toward becoming herself
Memorable Quotes:

"If the world falls down on your shoulders, brush it off and keep going your way. Stay on course. Have faith."

"They do not know who you are. They do not know who you will become."

"I am a person of conviction and I am a person of purpose."

"It is because of those lessons that I became the unique individual that I am today."

Key Takeaways:
  1. Your story has purpose. The hard seasons are the foundation of who you are becoming
  2. Reframe every setback as a lesson and watch your growth accelerate
  3. Faith carries you through seasons you cannot navigate alone
  4. Circumstance does not define you or your future
  5. Tenacity and conviction are forged through difficulty, not comfort

David Aferiat: Stop the Bottleneck and How a 3D Decision Engine Transforms Leadership Teams05 Jun 202600:28:22
David Aferiat: Stop the Bottleneck and How a 3D Decision Engine Transforms Leadership Teams Guest: David Aferiat, Growth Coach and Entrepreneur Host: Julie Riga About David Aferiat David Aferiat is a growth coach, entrepreneur, and community leader with a track record built on perseverance, strategic leadership, and long-term vision. He co-founded a fintech company that earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years, licensing its technology to eTrade and TD Ameritrade. He has also led the French American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). David now coaches CEOs and leadership teams to delegate with confidence and build decision-making systems that sustain professional growth.

Fun Fact: The favorite food of David is Shakshuka, a Mediterranean dish of roasted peppers, tomatoes, and spices with eggs poached in the reduction, topped with feta and parsley, served with warm pita. He makes his own hummus.

The 3D Decision Engine: Discover, Discuss, Decide Discover: Before the meeting, team members log issues and opportunities into a shared parking lot, a simple spreadsheet visible to all. Each item is written as an outcome statement. Tag each item as an opportunity or an obstacle.

Discuss: Follow a fast, slow, fast cadence. Align quickly on the list, go deep in discussion, then move to decision. Everyone speaks beyond their own role. Time-box each conversation with a visible timer.

Decide: Every decision is assigned one accountable owner with milestones and a follow-up timeline. Decisions fall into six categories: change a process, change a person, change the strategy, stop something, delegate it, or automate it.

Key Insights Decision bottlenecks are a leadership problem, not a business problem. When the founder becomes the single point of approval for every decision, growth stalls because of organizational design, not market conditions. The fix is structural.

Perseverance is the daily curation of atomic habits and routines designed to serve a future version of yourself and your business. David asks founders one powerful question: what is the last chair around the table you gave up? Each role you release creates more freedom, more capacity, and more life.

The two greatest gifts for any founder are community and coaching. Join an organization like EO or a local business network. Invest in a coach who meets you at your stage and holds you accountable to the leader you are becoming.

Memorable Quotes "Perseverance is about curating a routine, atomic habits that let you drop the keys off to a future version of yourself."

"If everything has to go through the owner, you are choking what could be happening to move the business forward."

"Share the burden. That is what a team is for."

The Trust Advantage: How Leaders Turn Complexity Into Confidence15 May 202600:27:08
The Trust Advantage: How Leaders Turn Complexity Into ConfidenceOverview



In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, host Julie Riga sits down with Jeff Willinger, a globally recognized digital transformation leader, Microsoft MVP, and one of the leading voices in enterprise AI and the future of work. Jeff shares the three ingredients that separate visionary leaders from those who fall behind. In an AI-driven world, the most valuable thing a leader can offer is not a solution. It is confidence. Whether you are a corporate executive, an entrepreneur, or a professional navigating change, this episode will shift the way you think about trust, technology, and your own leadership legacy. This conversation is for leaders who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with clarity and conviction.


The Trust Advantage: How Leaders Turn Complexity Into Confidence

Guest: Jeff Willinger, Digital Transformation Leader, Microsoft MVP, Director at Turn Digital Host: Julie Riga


About Jeff Willinger


Jeff Willinger is a globally recognized digital transformation leader, Microsoft MVP, and Director at Turn Digital. With over 20 years of experience in the Microsoft ecosystem, Jeff bridges the gap between business and technology. He makes tools like Microsoft SharePoint and AI Co-Pilot simple, tangible, and powerful for organizations of every size. His leadership philosophy centers on clarity, accountability, and always moving toward where the opportunity is going to be before anyone else sees it.

Fun Fact: Jeff is a proud New Yorker and a dedicated seafood lover. His ideal meal is king crab with drawn butter and lemon. When he is in a rush, nothing beats a classic New York pizza slice.


The Three Ingredients for Leadership Success

1. Clarity Over Complexity

If people do not understand it, they will not act on it. Jeff leads with insight, paints a clear before-and-after picture, and earns trust by delivering real value before asking for anything in return. Simplifying the message is not a soft skill. It is a core leadership advantage that drives growth, alignment, and real transformation.

2. Proof Over Promise

Every leader talks about what AI can do. Jeff shows it. He uses readiness assessments, fast pilots, and measurable results within two weeks to build genuine confidence. Make it tangible, make it fast, and let the results do the talking. This approach drives adoption, closes deals, and creates unstoppable momentum.

3. Reduce Risk at Every Step

Every deal and every transformation decision is a risk decision at its core. Jeff breaks big changes into safe, digestible steps and proof-of-concept pilots that let teams experience real results without fear. His goal is not to push a deal through. It is to make saying yes feel like the obvious, safe, and smart choice for every stakeholder.


Key Quotes

"Everyone goes to where the puck is. I go to where the puck is going to be."

"If they do not understand it, they will not buy it."

"People are not buying your solution. They are buying your conviction and your clarity."

"What took 20 hours in the past is taking 10 minutes with AI and you cannot unsee that productivity."

"Bring value wherever you go and you will always have a job and you will always have a client."


Key Takeaways
  • Clarity is a competitive advantage in leadership and in business
  • Proof beats promise every single time in business
  • AI is not optional for organizations that want to grow and stay relevant
  • The human edge in leadership is real, irreplaceable, and truly essential
  • Governance creates real freedom, not limits, when built well

Insights on Leadership, Teamwork, and the Future of AI with Eric Doherty02 Dec 202400:19:04

Ingredients for Success: Insights from Eric Doherty on Leadership, Teamwork, and the Future of AI

In a world where evolution is key, successful leadership starts with a foundation of teamwork, transparency, and the right hires to transform challenges into opportunities. Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking to build a business legacy, a corporate leader navigating conflict resolution, or a seeker of abundance and purpose, leveraging generative AI can revolutionize how we lead and inspire. As we explore this journey, staying aligned with your self-worth, faith, and passion for making a difference on this planet empowers you to guide your team with confidence and achieve incredible success. Stay the course, believe in your soul’s mission, and unlock the secrets to leading with impact in a constantly evolving world.

The latest episode of Stay on Course podcast featured a dynamic conversation with Eric Doherty, a global leader in healthcare and generative AI. As the President and CEO of HDPE, Eric brings his expertise in pharmaceutical and medical device commercialization, driving impactful advancements in global health and change management. His innovative approach bridges the worlds of corporate strategy and entrepreneurship, empowering leaders to transform their organizations and evolve their legacy. You can find Eric on LinkedIn, where his insights on leadership, teamwork, and AI inspire people across the world to unlock their potential.

Learn more about Eric: https://linktr.ee/ericdoherty

Key Ingredients for Success

During this thought-provoking podcast, Eric shared his secrets to success, outlining three essential ingredients for building businesses and creating lasting impact.

1. Hire the Right People

Success begins with people. Eric emphasized that hiring individuals who align with your mission and values is the foundation of a thriving organization. Leaders should inspire, teach, and motivate their team, ensuring each person feels valued and connected to the bigger purpose. By taking the time to understand each person’s unique strengths and personality, you can employ them in roles where they create the most worth and impact.

Eric reminded us that hiring isn’t just about finding talentβ€”it’s about sharing your vision to attract the right people who believe in your goals and want to grow with your team.

2. Build Strong Teams Through Transparency and Communication

Teamwork is essential for any business or corporate success. Eric stressed the importance of fostering collaboration, trust, and clear communication. Leaders must ensure that their teams are aligned with organizational goals while creating an environment that encourages open dialogue and problem-solving.

Transparency plays a critical role in maintaining trust. Sharing your vision, steps for growth, and plans for resolution helps teams navigate challenges and achieve their goals together. This level of openness leads to stronger alignment, better teamwork, and more sustainable success.

3. Leverage Technology Wisely

The rise of generative AI has transformed how businesses operate. Eric shared how technology can streamline processes, resolve challenges, and accelerate innovation, particularly in fields like healthcare, HR, and entrepreneurship. However, while AI is a powerful tool for efficiency and transformation, it must enhanceβ€”rather than replaceβ€”the human touch.

Leaders must ensure the data fueling AI is accurate and used with purpose. As organizations evolve, leveraging AI responsibly allows businesses to liberate creative energy and focus on innovation, while still maintaining a strong connection to their core values and mission.

From Zero to Trader: The Beginner's Blueprint for Financial Freedom


About This Episode


Julie Riga sits down with Mitch Abel, founder of Investment Current, a purpose-driven trading education platform that has helped over 250 students build financial freedom and generational wealth. Mitch is a living example of resilience and transformation. After retiring, he lost $150,000 in his first six months and came back stronger than ever. This episode is your step-by-step guide to starting your trading journey with clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation.


Guest Background


Mitch Abel is the founder of Investment Current, an options trading education community built for complete beginners. His platform includes a 100 percent interactive live trading room, a 12-week curriculum, weekly faculty office hours, and personal mentorship. No trader has to face this journey alone.


Fun Fact: Mitch loves a hot pastrami sandwich on rye with coleslaw, sauerkraut, and pickled tomatoes.


The Three Ingredients for Trading Success


Foundation: You can begin with as little as $2,000 to $10,000. The 10 percent portfolio rule means you never risk more than 10 percent of your total capital on a single trade. New government rules now allow pattern day trading inside self-directed IRAs and 401k accounts, making this journey accessible to almost anyone.


Education: Learn the language of the market before risking a single dollar. Investment Current offers a 6-week foundational program followed by a 12-week course with video lessons, written takeaways, quizzes, homework, and live faculty office hours. All beginners start with paper trading, simulated trading with no real money, for a minimum of six months before moving to live capital.


Strategy: Write your personal trading plan. Define your entry rules, exit rules, stop loss rules, and profit targets. Keep a trading journal to track your emotions, your decisions, and your growth. Tools like TraderSync allow you to capture and analyze every trade in one place.


Memorable Quotes


"If you have the right education and the right tools, it is not gambling. It becomes second nature."

"We do not want you to fail. The only way to win is to start off slowly."

"Trading will bring out every emotion you have ever had. You do not want to be alone on this journey."

Real Student Results

Students made $4,500 in a single day with a 40.63 percent return on capital. One student made $280 in 34 seconds. Five focused trades per day can generate over $1,000 in earnings within just a few hours.

Embarking on an Entelechy Leadership Journey: Nurturing Soul-Infused Business Growth and Fulfillment29 Oct 202300:24:35

In this captivating conversation, Dr. Heather Shea uncovers the profound significance of Entelechy Leadership. She guides you on a transformative journey to manifest your true self, much like a regal King or Queen, and embrace your inner Star. The core of this exploration lies in understanding your unique Personality, which is the foundation for igniting your creative force and unlocking your leadership potential in the world of Business.

Dr. Heather Shea, through her enlightening Podcast, delves into the secrets of Success and the abundant potential that lies within each individual. Her insights are like a Hollywood story, motivating and inspiring you to live a more vibrant Life, as you become a driving force for personal and professional growth. As you listen, envision yourself stepping into a role as an entelechy leader, one who not only transforms into a more interesting and alive person but also motivates others to unlock their hidden potential. Much like a tiny acorn with the right environment, entelechy leadership nurtures growth, enabling you to become a towering force in your personal and professional Legacy. Embark on this empowering Quest of self-discovery with Dr. Heather Shea, who helps you believe in the unlimited possibilities within your Soul.

Listen in as Dr. Heather Shea talks about Entelechy Leadership.

What is entelechy? Think of it as your energetic DNA, what excites you, drives you, and inspires you. It is what’s important to you in your life. Consult any dictionary and it says entelechy is to realize or make actual what was otherwise potential. Entelechy is a vital principle that guides the growth of living systems, which includes people, organizations, and cultures.

Why does entelechy matter? It is the full realization of your potential, which means:

Β· manifesting your purpose and your passion

Β· actualizing the landscape of your life

Β· returning to your innate blueprint for perspective and guidance

Β· rediscovering your core callings

Β· activating your true potentiality in your relationships and your life’s work

Β· embracing and expressing your creative force

Entelechy is you, energetically, living to your full potential: you are fun, excited, enthusiastic, expanding, adventurous.

Entelechy leadership involves co-creating the location, place, or landscape in which you and others thrive. Since entelechy makes you a more interesting, alive person: Other people want to follow you, be around you, work with you, because you activate their potential.

Think of the tiny acorn: given the right environment, it instinctively knows how to become a towering oak tree. Not given the right amount of water, nutritious soil, or enough sunlight, it will not grow to its full potential. People are the same.

What does it take to be an entelechy leader?

Entelechy leaders must have purpose, passion, and potential

  • Purpose: Do who you are
  • Passion: Rise and Thrive
  • Potential: Back to Your Future

Dr. Heather Shea is a Leadership Coach for women executives, entrepreneurs, and evolutionary leaders. Heather connects people to their inner wisdom and uncovers blocks that prevent them from stepping into their highest, authentic self for greater impact in their lives, organizations, and the world. As a leadership visionary, speaker, author, and everyday mystic, Heather has held senior leadership roles in global organizations and worked throughout six continents, with Fortune 100 CEOs and their teams, world leaders and household names in business, politics,

Unlocking Success: The Entrepreneur's Quest to Reclaim Time, Journey to Fulfillment, and Build a Legacy22 Oct 202300:46:23

Are you tired of the hustle and grind, working long hours with little to show for it? Discover the secrets of Dan Martell, a visionary CEO and entrepreneur, who's not just about building billion-dollar companies like Udemy and Hootsuite but also about reclaiming time for a life well-lived. In his latest book, "BUY BACK YOUR TIME," Martell shares profound insights on how to scale your business rapidly while avoiding burnout, trading money for the most precious commodityβ€”time. Imagine unlocking the formula to build your empire while living your best lifeβ€”Martell's journey from burnout to success is a lesson in itself, and this book is your guide to making the mindset shifts needed for lasting fulfillment and legacy building.


Dan Martell is a CEO you need to know! Dan leads unicorn billion-dollar companies like Udemy and Hootsuite to build and strengthen their businesses. About Dan's books:

Build a Business Empire While Living Your Best Life? It’s possible.

BUY BACK YOUR TIME teaches readers how to conquer the biggest hurdle to scaling a company and growing rich: Time

In his new book BUY BACK YOUR TIME: Get unstuck, reclaim your freedom and build your empire, Dan Martell, one of the world’s most sought-after business coaches, shows readers how to scale their business, fast, while avoiding burnout. Trading money for timeβ€”that is, literally buying back free space in their calendarβ€”will bring them more success than they ever thought possible, while simultaneously reducing stress and maximizing happiness.

He wrote this book after successfully scaling and exiting three startups, building two 8-figure businesses, completing several ironmans, traveling the world, and gaining valuable time back in his calendar. But it didn’t come without colossal failures.

"Having coached thousands of entrepreneurs from across the world, I noticed something profound: most founders work unnecessarily long hours. They were taught to believe that more time working = more money in the bank," explains Martell. "I've been there myself while struggling to build several businesses and learned the hard way -- I lost touch with myself, my loved ones, and a failed engagement, all for the sake of getting ahead.”

But β€˜getting ahead’ is the biggest fallacy. The idea that the more you work, the more you can achieve makes some sense, but when working takes over every aspect of your life and you start to hate your company, that’s when it becomes a dangerous obsession. Martell hit rock bottom in these moments, coming home after another long day of work to find his fiancΓ© standing at the front door, bags packed, ring in handβ€”leaving him because he was more engaged with his work than her.

In the formative years that followed, Martell stumbled upon his key to happiness: Time with his family and doing the things he loves, all while successfully growing his businesses. The secret?

Making the mindset shifts and creating systems necessary to engage in high-value work that brings energy and fulfillment.

In BUY BACK YOUR TIME, you will learn:

  • How to calculate your Buyback Rate so you can start buying back time immediately
  • Why playbooks need to be the foundation of your business, and how to create them
  • When to employ time hacks, such as the β€œDefinition of Done” and the β€œ$50 Magic Pill,” to help your team work more efficiently, prevent bottlenecks, and guard your energy
  • The secret

Why Your Data Is Not the Star of the Show: The Human Science of Powerful Presentations with Anthony Greiter08 May 202600:21:10
Why Your Data Is Not the Star of the Show: The Human Science of Powerful Presentations

Guest: Anthony Greiter, Founder of Agent, Technical Translator and Presentation Coach Host: Julie Riga, Leadership Coach and Founder of the Stay On Course Podcast


πŸ“Œ Visit the Episode Stack:stacklist.app/julieriga | All the links, resources, and key information from this episode in one easy place.


Overview


Most scientific experts believe their data is the main event. But Anthony Greiter, founder of Agent and self-described technical translator, is on a mission to flip that thinking. In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, Anthony joins host Julie Riga to reveal why your technical brilliance is just the foundation and how true transformation happens when you lead with your humanity. Whether you are a researcher or tech innovator, this episode will challenge you to step out of data mode and into your authentic leadership presence. Data informs. Human connection transforms.


Why Your Data Is Not the Star of the Show: The Human Science of Powerful Presentations
About This Episode


Anthony Greiter is on a mission to rescue scientific brilliance from the graveyard of boring, data-heavy presentations. In this conversation with host Julie Riga, he breaks down the three essential ingredients that transform a forgettable talk into a meaningful, lasting experience. If you are a researcher, healthcare professional, or tech innovator, this episode will shift the way you approach every future presentation.


Guest Background

Anthony Greiter is the founder of Agent, a coaching platform designed to help scientific and technical experts become powerful, purpose-driven communicators. A self-described technical translator, he holds a degree in French, a background that shaped his philosophy on invisible foundations and the art of communicating complex ideas with clarity and heart. He works with researchers, healthcare professionals, and innovators across the world.

Fun Fact: Anthony reaches for buffalo wings every time, but only with blue cheese dip.


The Three Ingredients for Presentation Success

1. The Mirepoix: Your Technical Foundation Your data and expertise are the essential base, much like the French culinary mirepoix of carrots, celery, and onion. This foundation earns you a seat at the table and builds your credibility with peers. But just as mirepoix is never served as the main course, your technical brilliance should support your message without stealing the spotlight.


2. The Main Course: Your Human Voice The real star of every presentation is you. Your perspective, your purpose, and your authentic leadership presence are what connect with audiences on a human level. When researchers lead with personality and speak to why their work matters, that is when true human connection and transformation happen.


3. The Plating: Visual Delivery Even the best content fails when delivered poorly. Slides are for the audience, not for the speaker. Avoid walls of text and do not use your slides as a script. Visuals should complement your message and elevate your presence on stage.


Key Insights
  • Scientific professionals are trained to prove their worth through data. But when you shift from proving to influencing, everything changes.
  • Half of any audience takes in information through stories and big-picture thinking. The other half processes through logic and data. The most impactful presentations speak to both.
  • Every presentation must have a clear call to action. If you have not moved your audience to do something, the talk is not yet complete.

Memorable Quote

"Data informs. Human connection transforms."
