Founder's Story: Starting Over, Studying Hard, and Finding My Voice Part 2

Author: Julie Riga June 10, 2026 Duration: 14:56
Founder's Story: Starting Over, Studying Hard, and Finding My Voice Part 2 Overview In Part 2 of her Founder's Story, Julie Riga takes us inside her college years: the first time in her life she got to start over with a clean slate, build real friendships, and discover what she was truly capable of. From spending eight hours at a time in the library to make up for lost learning, to quitting a sorority on induction night to chase a radio station opportunity, Julie shares the raw truth about resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you finally find your voice. This is the story of a woman who refused to let her past define her future and who put in every rep it took to get there.

Julie Riga has spent years in the trenches as a leadership coach, entrepreneur, and author, and she knows a secret: the path to success is often cluttered with internal roadblocks. In her Stay On Course: Ingredients for Success podcast, she moves beyond surface-level advice to explore the real, often unspoken, ingredients that sustain leaders. Each conversation is built for those who are outwardly accomplished-CEOs, managers, or driven entrepreneurs-but who sometimes wrestle privately with doubts about their direction, their decisions, or their ability to truly lead. Julie brings a certified coach's perspective to these universal challenges, dissecting the mindset shifts and practical frameworks that create lasting confidence and control. You'll hear honest discussions about transitioning from a hands-on operator to an inspirational leader, managing the weight of responsibility, and cultivating a vision that feels both ambitious and authentic. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about building a resilient foundation for your career and ventures. Tune in for a blend of personal reflection, actionable strategies, and the kind of clarity that helps high-achievers not just reach their goals, but enjoy the journey there. The entire archive of this podcast offers a deep resource for anyone committed to growing their influence and impact in business and beyond.
