Anne McGhee-Stinson: Conscious Leadership for a New Era of Business About the Guest Anne McGhee-Stinson is the managing partner and director of practice at InteraWorks, a learning and development organization that delivers leadership and performance programs to corporate clients around the world. With more than twenty years of experience as an executive coach, consultant, entrepreneur, author, playwright, and documentary film producer, Anne has spent her career helping leaders and organizations tap into their deepest creative resources and translate that insight into meaningful results. Episode Highlights A Paradigm Shift in Leadership Anne describes a long-building paradigm shift in how organizations operate, moving away from a purely Newtonian, cause-and-effect framework toward a quantum model of leadership that pays attention to the relationships and energy between the parts of a system, not just the parts themselves. The Symphony Orchestra Metaphor Anne compares a conscious organization to a symphony orchestra. Each musician brings individual skill and creativity, the score provides the organizational guidelines, and the conductor, much like a modern leader, is responsible not for each individual player but for the harmony and flow between them. From Command and Control to Conscious Leadership The conversation traces how command and control leadership served the industrial age, when predictability and replicable results were the goal. Anne explains why that model no longer fits a workforce that is more educated, more interconnected, and operating in far more fluid and complex conditions. Leadership as a Ceiling on the Organization Anne references Frederick Laloux's book, Reinventing Organizations, and his idea that no organization can rise above the consciousness of its leaders, pointing to the personal growth work required of every leader who wants to build lasting impact. The Entrepreneurial Mindset Julie and Anne discuss why entrepreneurship is as much a mindset as it is a job title, and why the ability to challenge assumptions, embrace ambiguity, and build multiple streams of income may be reshaping what safety and career growth actually look like. Vertical Leadership Development Anne closes with a call for vertical leadership development, the deepening of self-awareness and consciousness that complements traditional skill building, so leaders have the internal resources to make innovative, purpose-driven decisions even without a playbook. Notable Quotes "No organization can rise above the consciousness of its leaders." "Leadership today begins with personal development." "I believe our organizations of today have the capacity to be the vehicle for social change."

Caite Corripio: How to Make Your Health Span Match Your Lifespan About Caite Corripio Caite Corripio is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and co-founder of Healthy and Vibrant, where she helps people create sustainable lifestyle change around metabolic health, weight management, stress, and whole body well-being. She has authored two books, "100 Calorie Snacks" and her newly released "100 Self-Care Practices," and hosts a free monthly wellness webinar for her community. Episode Highlights Health Span Versus Lifespan Caite opens the conversation with a foundational truth about aging: "the goal is that you're healthy" so that health span matches lifespan, rather than spending retirement years cycling through doctor visits instead of living out long-planned goals. The Three Macros Made Simple Caite breaks down nutrition into carbs, protein, and fat using a memorable analogy from Winnie the Pooh, where protein is the slow and steady Eeyore, carbs are the quick-burst energy of Tigger, and healthy fat is the wise old owl who balances the two. Pairing macros together, she explains, prevents the blood sugar spikes that come from eating carbohydrates alone. Sugar Cravings and Self-Awareness Caite speaks candidly about her own history with sugar, sharing that she has "a sugar addiction" and continues to fight for better health every day, even while enjoying a slice of cake on her birthday without spiraling into more sugar. Restoring the System Through Sleep and Stress Management Caite calls sleep "nature's nurse," describing it as the time when the body repairs itself, and encourages listeners to release the badge of honor mentality around running on too little rest. She and Julie also discuss box breathing as a simple reset tool, with Caite walking through the visual of breathing around the four sides of a box to calm the nervous system in moments of stress. Wearables and Intentional Tracking Caite discusses her experience wearing a continuous glucose monitor and an aura ring to understand how food, sleep, and travel affect her body, emphasizing that tracking data only matters when it leads to a change in behavior. Movement and Muscle as Retirement Planning Caite reframes exercise as an investment, noting that adults begin losing eight percent of muscle mass per decade after their thirties, and encourages listeners to build strength for the practical demands of daily life, from carrying luggage to preventing falls. Building an Eating Routine Caite recommends eating every two and a half to three hours in smaller, protein and carb balanced portions rather than one or two large meals, and encourages starting the day with protein within about an hour of waking. Choosing Health as a Daily Choice Caite closes with an empowering reminder that a family history of type two diabetes does not have to be a destiny, and that being healthy is a choice made through consistent, sustainable steps rather than a single overnight change. Key Takeaways Health span should be prioritized alongside lifespan through consistent daily habits Balancing protein, carbs, and healthy fat helps prevent blood sugar spikes Sleep and stress management are foundational tools for restoring the body Wearable data is only valuable when it leads to intentional action Building muscle supports independence and confidence at every stage of life Sustainable change comes from small, repeatable choices rather than overnight transformation Connect with Caite Corripio Website: behealthyandvibrant.com Connect with Julie Riga Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga #stayoncourse #healthspan #wellnesscoach #selfawareness #healthylifestyle Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mila Snider: Guiding Florida Families to the Right Coast and the Right Life In this episode, Mila and Julie discuss: Mila's journey from Ukraine to Vermont to Florida, and the decision to pack her car and start over more than a decade ago The difference between the sunrise coast, covering Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties, and the sunset coast, covering Sarasota, DeSoto, and Charlotte counties Why Mila chose to specialize in both coasts and how that gives her clients a wider view of what Florida offers Guiding families relocating from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut as they choose between the east and west coasts of Florida Why location is the one part of a home that can never be changed, no matter how much the interior is updated What buyers and sellers should know before working with a real estate agent, and why the real work begins after an offer is accepted A story about a broken front door and a six month process to get it resolved, and what it revealed about protecting clients financially Mila's three ingredients for success: discipline, accountability, and balance Her personal rule of five F's: finance, family, fitness, fun, and faith Why her commitment to clients does not end at the closing table, and what she believes a true brand is built on Notable moments from the conversation: Mila reflects on her move to Florida, sharing that she packed her car with her personal belongings only, drove all the way down, and started all over, without a single regret since. On discipline, she explains that it is not flashy. It is quiet, it happens behind the scene, and it happens every single day. On accountability, she notes that silence creates anxiety, uncertainty, and unnecessary stress, which is why she stays proactive and keeps clients informed at every stage. On her approach to business and life, Mila shares a belief that has guided her career: your brand is not your logo or your headshot. It is what people say about you when you are not in the room. Julie and Mila also reflect on how emotional a real estate transaction can be, comparing it to some of the most stressful events in life. Mila explains why buyers deserve constant communication, whether the news is good, bad, or there is simply no news to share. This episode is a reminder that where someone chooses to live is one of the most important decisions of their life, and that growth, transformation, and success often begin with the courage to start a new chapter, especially when guided by a trusted advisor.

Marques opens up about his path from professional football to a rock bottom moment that reshaped his entire life and purpose, and what it took to rebuild from nothing. What we cover in this episode: Marques' six year career in the National Football League, and the difficult transition that followed, including a six month struggle with addiction, alcohol, nightlife, and gambling Building a multimillion dollar construction company that reached multiple eight figures a year, and how ego, greed, and the personality ethics led to its total collapse Moving to Raleigh, North Carolina with four hundred dollars to his name, being fired from two jobs in the same week, and taking a job as a custodian earning eight dollars and twenty five cents an hour The rock bottom moment on a custodial shift that became his wake up call and the beginning of phase two of his life The J.K. Rowling quote that shaped his outlook, rock bottom is the moment that rebuilt my life, and the parallel of Rowling writing Harry Potter while living in her car Marques' journey into professional speaking, starting in September 2013 and going two and a half years before his first paid engagement in April 2016 Meeting Mel Robbins in 2018, getting coached, learning the business, and going on to work with more than ninety Fortune 500 companies Becoming a six time best selling author, with a seventh book, Built From The Storm, The Bison Operating System, currently in progress The Bison mindset, a leadership framework built around being bold, having integrity, practicing self awareness, taking ownership, and never quitting Why bison move as a herd through a storm, protecting the weaker, older, and younger members while the strong and bold face the brunt of the storm, and what that teaches us about leadership and community The idea of purpose driven leadership, and why this phase of Marques' life feels more meaningful to him than football or business ever did Julie's own story of rock bottom during her divorce, and the parallels between her journey and Marques' story of resilience The importance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership, and why judgment should never stop anyone from telling their real story A favorite quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, smooth seas never made skilled sailors, and what it means to grow through hardship rather than ease This conversation is filled with ingredients for success, insight on resilience, and encouragement for anyone facing their own storm right now.

Dre Baldwin: The Third Day Principle for Consistent Execution Key topics covered in this episode: The Third Day Concept The first day is when everyone shows up excited to start something new The second day still holds a crowd, though a smaller one The third day reveals who is truly committed, since the initial excitement fades and the actual work begins The third day is not the moment someone realizes the work is hard, it is the decision made in that moment about whether to continue Principle, Structure, and Discipline Principle creates structure, and structure leads to discipline Principles are identity based unbreaking standards that suffer no exceptions, unlike preferences, which are simply what someone wishes they were When identity is locked in, actions become automatic and willpower becomes irrelevant Discipline is a description of consistent behavior, not a personality trait The Be, Do, Have Framework Most people work backwards, focusing first on actions rather than identity The order that leads to lasting change is be, do, have. Who a person is being comes first, then what they are doing, and finally what they have Internal identity change must happen before permanent action change is possible Motivation Versus Discipline Motivation is an emotion and is fickle, since it does not always show up Discipline is the result of a process and does not depend on feelings At some point, motivation must hand the job over to discipline for anything meaningful to last Confidence as a Byproduct Confidence is not a personality trait, it is uncovered by doing a hard thing for a long period of time Confidence is the absence of self consciousness and internal anxiety Confidence is available to everyone through consistent effort, not something only certain people are born with The Scientific Law of Entropy Anything without standards or parameters keeping it contained moves toward increased chaos and disorder over time Without a process for keeping something in line, it naturally drifts out of line Memorable quotes from this episode: The behavior is discipline, not the person Confidence is uncovered by doing a hard thing for a long period of time The question is not how you feel, the question is what did you commit to Motivation is an emotion, it is energy, discipline is the result of a process Key takeaways for leaders: Identity comes first, structure and discipline are end products of a deeper identity shift Discipline is a behavior, not a trait, consistent follow through defines it Motivation fades, discipline remains, build systems that do not depend on how someone feels each day Confidence is earned through doing hard things consistently, not through natural ability Watch for entropy, without structure, everything drifts toward disorder, in health, business, and leadership alike Connect with Dre Baldwin: Website: thirddaybook.com Brand: Work On Your Game Connect with Julie Riga: Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts and share this episode with leaders who need encouragement to stay on course when motivation fades. #stayoncourse #leadershipmindset #confidence #growthmindset #discipline Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.
