Episode Details

In this fiercely honest and soul-stirring episode of The Affluent CEO Show, Yuliana sits down with Raffy Sgroi—leadership strategist, business consultant, and President of APFACTS—to unpack two powerful words often used and misunderstood: equality and inclusivity. 

From male-dominated boardrooms to navigating cultural bias as a woman with an accent, Raffy and Yuliana open up about their personal stories of being underestimated, overlooked, and labeled—simply for showing up as women. 

Together, they dive deep into: 

🔹 Why inclusivity is more than ticking a box
 🔹 How equality means access—not just presence
 🔹 The difference between brotherhood and sisterhood in leadership dynamics
🔹 The silent bias women face in corporate spaces—and even from other women
🔹 How to challenge the system without abandoning your authenticity
🔹 The power of sisterhood and the importance of finding your tribe 

Raffy also shares how she’s transforming the Australian automotive industry from within—bringing 40% female trainees into a once-exclusionary space—and why real change starts when women sit at the front row, unapologetically. 

This is an episode for every high-achieving woman who has ever felt too much, not enough, or just plain tired of trying to belong in rooms not built for her.
