As I sat by the port, watching boats come and go, I couldn’t help but think about how much that scene mirrors business life. Every vessel had a destination; even if the seas got rough, they kept heading toward it. It reminded me of how important it is, especially as leaders and entrepreneurs, to stay the course. Whether it’s developing new products, refining a strategy, or managing a team, there will always be turbulence. The key i...

While waiting at the port in Brač, Croatia, on my way to Split and then Zagreb, I found myself reflecting on something we often overlook — customer reviews. After a few amazing experiences, from a private boat charter to a mountain e-bike ride, I realized just how intentional the local businesses were about asking for feedback. They didn’t wait for an email or text later; they asked right there, face-to-face, while the experience w...

While exploring Milno, Croatia, I had one of those small but powerful “aha” moments. As I learned about how the locals build with the stone found right under their feet, I couldn’t help but think about how that same principle applies to marketing and creativity. Too often, we chase new tools, new platforms, or new ideas when in reality, everything we need to create something great is already right in front of us. 00:00 – I share...

While exploring a small island near Milna, Croatia, I reflected on a powerful truth in marketing, the enduring value of community and connection. A simple act by a local skipper, steering his group to an unexpected winery, becomes a reminder that the best marketing still happens through relationships, trust, and word of mouth. Join me for this quick take on how local business lessons can inspire any brand to strengthen its netwo...

In this reflective episode, I share my thoughts from the shores of the Adriatic Sea on the island of Brač, Croatia. Drawing from decades in learning and development, I explore how gaining perspective can reignite creativity—both in life and in work. In an age where AI can simplify and automate so much, I want to remind everyone that true creativity still comes from human experience, curiosity, and taking time to pause and observe t...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
