      • Why decades old research discouraged women from hormone replacement, and how the science has since been refuted
      • The link between estrogen decline and cognitive decline, including dementia risk
      • Why cholesterol is essential for brain function, and how inflammation, not cholesterol, drives cardiovascular risk
      • Testing follicle stimulating hormone to understand where a woman is in the menopause transition
      • Why bioidentical hormones and testosterone matter for both women and men
      • How semaglutide and tirzepatide, known as Ozempic and Mounjaro, work as peptides that change metabolism, insulin response, and glucose regulation
      • InstaMed's oral dissolving strip technology for peptides supporting skin, sleep, cognitive clarity, mitochondrial activation, growth hormone production, and pain, healing, and circulation
      • How microplastics, seed oils, and modern plumbing may be undermining hormonal health
      • InstaMed is a Utah based, United States manufactured company built to bring transparency to a peptide market Angela describes as the wild west
      • Why Generation X is positioned to age differently than previous generations, and what that means for work, purpose, and financial security
      • Why glutathione and clean eating support the body's natural detoxification process against everyday environmental toxins
      • Key Takeaways:

        • Redefine what normal means. Subjective symptoms deserve a real answer, even when lab numbers look fine
        • Build a foundation first. Hormone optimization and metabolic regulation are the pillars everything else is built on
        • Stay curious about innovation. GLP one therapy and peptide science are reshaping healthy aging and longevity
        • Prepare for a different future. Financial self reliance, entrepreneurship, and AI fluency matter more than ever after fifty
        • Purpose does not retire. A vital, engaged, purpose driven life is possible well beyond what past generations expected
        • Memorable Quotes: "Normal is not normal." "You don't know how bad you felt until you start feeling good." "If you're in your fifties, you should be the most educated on AI right now."

          Perfect for anyone navigating midlife, menopause, or a career transition who wants to redefine what growth and vitality can look like.

                  Malcolm Reid Sr.: Ingredients for Success for the Modern Generalist and Kicking the Hopium Habit

                  In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, Julie sits down with Malcolm Reid Sr., founder of Pro Global Business Advisors, to talk leadership, purpose, and the mindset shifts that separate predictable business growth from hope based guessing.

                  Guest Background

                  • Malcolm Reid Sr. founded Pro Global Business Advisors, helping over a thousand coaches serve small business owners with integrity
                  • Known for a strong stance against hype driven coaching and for equipping ethical coaches with real systems and support
                  • Creator of Profit Advisor, a platform that brings marketing, sales, and fulfillment technology into one methodology
                  • Spent decades in music and corporate America before building twenty five years of entrepreneurial experience
                  • What They Discussed

                    • Why the specialist model is losing ground to the modern generalist in a world shaped by AI
                    • The full meaning behind the phrase a jack of all trades is a master of none
                    • Why so many entrepreneurs run their business on hope instead of tracked, predictable systems
                    • The triplets that keep business owners stuck: gonna do, did not do, and want to do
                    • The importance of success metrics and consistent prospecting, even after landing clients
                    • How Profit Advisor gives coaches a business in a box, without long contracts or restrictive territories
                    • The path to becoming a certified Profit Advisor and building real credibility
                    • Malcolm's journey from corporate America to becoming unemployable in the traditional workforce
                    • His early career in music, including work alongside KRS-One and Grandmaster Kaz
                    • The value of self leadership and consistency for long term legacy building
                    • Memorable Quotes

                      • Change you must or irrelevant you will become
                      • A jack of all trades is a master of none, but it is a whole lot better than just a master of one
                      • People are addicted to hope
                      • There are parking spaces on that road, that journey to success. Park, but back up and get back on the journey

                      • Key Takeaways

                        • Systems beat hope. Predictability comes from tracked metrics, not wishful thinking
                        • Becoming a generalist, someone who can do more and deliver faster, is increasingly valuable
                        • Growth requires discipline. Small, consistent improvement compounds over time

                            • Bobby Lane: Ingredients for Success in Building a Business That Scales
                              Bobby Lane: Ingredients for Success in Building a Business That Scales

                              Guest: Bobby Lane, Business Growth Strategist and Founder and CEO of Factotum Host: Julie Riga

                              Guest Background

                              Bobby Lane is a business growth strategist who has spent more than three decades helping organizations build the systems and infrastructure required for sustainable growth. Six years ago, he founded Factotum, a multidisciplinary outsourcing practice that scaled across the UK before launching in the US, where James Orsini, a former boss and longtime mentor, now serves as chairman. Before Factotum, Bobby built and sold an accounting practice, which gave him hands on experience in leadership, delegation, and culture building.

                              Key Topics Discussed

                              Step Out of the Work and Into Leadership. Bobby explains why surrounding yourself with people who are more talented than you is essential, and how learning to delegate allowed his first business to triple in size within two years.

                              Believe in What You Are Doing. Leadership, Bobby says, is spiritual. A leader's energy moves through the entire organization. He encourages leaders to surround themselves with radiators, not drains, and to lead from genuine belief.

                              Build the Right Infrastructure Before You Need It. Back office infrastructure, including finance, HR, and clear systems, is the foundation most owners overlook. Bobby speaks to the cost of weak onboarding and decisions made from instinct rather than reliable information.

                              Integrate AI Without Losing Human Capital. Bobby sees AI as an opportunity to automate process and speed up creative work, but he is clear that experience and human judgment remain essential.

                              Leverage Strategic Partnerships to Accelerate Growth. Bobby explains how identifying the true gatekeepers of relationships, and building culturally aligned partnerships, can accelerate growth faster than reaching one client at a time. He points to the value of mutually beneficial relationships that are actively nurtured and monitored over time, rather than left to chance.

                              Memorable Quotes

                              "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

                              "Leadership is spiritual. Period."

                              "Always surround yourself with radiators, not drains."

                              "AI is never going to replace human capital."

                              Key Takeaways for Leaders

                              Step into leadership by surrounding yourself with talented people. Belief drives culture. Build infrastructure early to prevent chaos as you scale. Balance AI with human judgment, since technology is an enabler and not a replacement for experience. Choose strategic partners with care, looking for cultural alignment and follow through.

                            • Anne McGhee-Stinson: Conscious Leadership for a New Era of Business
                              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."

                              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

                                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.
