No one person can change the world, but leaders everywhere can. Rippled Radio is the podcast for those who believe leadership is about impact. Hosted by Cory Raggi, each episode uncovers how leaders can send ripples of positivity through their teams, families, and communities. Through inspiring stories, honest conversations, and actionable advice, Rippled Radio challenges the status quo and empowers leaders to create lasting change. It’s time to lead boldly, ripple widely, and transform the world—one decision at a time.
In this episode of Rippled Radio, Cory sits down with leadership coach Bob Peter — known for his no-nonsense, real-world approach to developing leaders who don’t wait for someone else to fix things. Together, they dive into self-leadership, accountability, and how to create your own momentum instead of waiting for opportunity to knock.
From “making your own wave” to defining your personal non-negotiables, Bob shares stories and practical advice on how young professionals and emerging leaders can take charge of their growth — even when their boss isn’t great, the environment isn’t perfect, or the timing feels off.
Whether you’re just starting your career or leading a team, this episode will remind you that true leadership starts with how you lead yourself.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to build your own wave, create your ripples, and own your career.

Portia James
Is It You… or Is It the Job? How to Know When It No Longer Fits (with Portia James, CHRO, CeriFi)
What if the problem isn’t you—or the job—but the fit?
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Cory reconnects with his former leader and mentor, Portia James, CHRO at CeriFi, to unpack one of the toughest questions professionals face: How do you know when it’s time to move on—or double down?
Portia has spent her career advising and coaching executives, leaders, and teams through their most pivotal career moments. Her reputation? Radical honesty, unwavering authenticity, and the courage to tell the truth—whether you’re ready for it or not.
Together, Cory and Portia dive into:
Knowing when you’ve outgrown a role (even if nothing is “wrong”)
“Is it me or the shirt?”—a fresh way to evaluate fit without blame
Why staying too long can damage confidence and performance
The freedom that comes from owning your decision—stay or go
How to build trust and speak hard truths at any level (even to the C-suite)
Separating your worth from your job title
Why honesty is the most generous form of leadership
This episode is raw, real, and packed with decades of wisdom.
Whether you're questioning your own fit—or leading others who are—this conversation might be the clarity you’ve been waiting for.
Like, share, and leave a review to help more leaders think differently and lead with impact.
