RISE TO LEAD
Fearless Voices, Bold Leadership, Unconventional Thinking
Welcome to the hub of leadership inspiration with Regina Huber. Tune in for candid conversations and invaluable wisdom from bold leaders across industries and cultures.
RISE TO LEAD is where fearless voices and unconventional minds share how they shape movements, businesses, teams—and themselves. This show celebrates creative leadership in all forms, from the stage to the boardroom, from community spaces to solo ventures. We explore creative, sometimes unexpected expressions of leadership—from business innovators and band leaders to movement makers. Come for bold heart, audacious action, and the kind of leadership that creates greater freedom for you and those you get to impact.

What happens when you stop following the expected path—and trust what pulls you instead? Richard shares how a short trip to Costa Rica turned into a 25-year entrepreneurial path, built from the ground up by leaning into instinct, language, and real human connection. This conversation goes beyond business—it’s about stepping out of comfort, creating something that reflects who you are, and leading in a way that people actually feel.
We explore what makes people stay (even in high-pressure environments), how to turn transactional conversations into meaningful ones, and why the real advantage today has nothing to do with technology. From conversational intelligence to creating spaces where people can breathe, grow, and perform—this episode challenges how you think about leadership, communication, and what truly lasts. AI will never be able to replace this.

00:28I'm not teaching you to lie.
00:30And, Regina, I'm not teaching you to steal.
00:31But forgive me if I'm teaching you conversation manipulation to extend conversation so at least you're able to make your
00:40point.
00:41So I just want you, my friend, just to buy 30 seconds.
00:45That's all checkpoints.
00:47Give me 20, 30-second checkpoints on a 10-minute call.
00:50And if you do that, it flows.
00:53You'll get your conversion.
00:54You'll at least get what you need from the call.
