Join Julie Riga as she sits down with Joe LaRussa, small city mayor, entrepreneur, and founder of Homegrown Leadership, to explore how intentionality, smart systems, and genuine community can transform not just your household but your entire approach to leadership, legacy, and purpose-driven living.

In This Episode:
✨ Why the most important place to lead is not the boardroom but the home
✨ How intentionality transforms reactive households into purpose-driven families
✨ The power of systems and tools like shared calendars and weekly planning meetings
✨ Why community is the most forgotten ingredient in household leadership
✨ How the 13 Summers mindset shifts the way parents think about time and legacy

Key Takeaways:
📌 You only have about two golden hours a day to lead at home. Use them with intention.
📌 Visionary leaders plan years ahead at work. The same thinking belongs at home.
📌 Be a laser beam, not a light bulb. Focus your family energy with purpose and clarity.
📌 A shared calendar is the foundation. If it is not on the calendar, it does not exist.
📌 Weekly family planning meetings create alignment, communication, and household confidence.
📌 True community means having people to call, not just Uber, when life gets hard.
📌 Healthy households create healthy neighborhoods. Healthy neighborhoods build thriving communities.
