Episode Transcript
There's a moment every small business owner can tell you about.
It happens in the lifespan of every company, and it's
a moment that tests and entrepreneurs resolve. It might also
be a moment that changes them and their business forever.
For Doug and Jason Barrows of Luna Coffee, this moment
came in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, when I get to the back and it goes
anything going on, Everyone's like, no, everything's perfect, and then
one person in the corner goes but it smells like campfire.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
What did you say to each other?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Shit? Oh shit.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Welcome to the Unshakables from Chase for Business and Ruby
Studio from iHeartMedia. I'm Ben Walter, CEO of Chase for Business.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And I'm Tanya Miebel, a lawyer and consultant to entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
On the Unshakables, we're sharing the daring stories of small
business owners facing their crisis points.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I'm like this twenty eight two year old kid going
up against one of the biggest companies in the world.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
At that point, we were personally all tapped out. I
was going to need to raise more capital and I
was going to need to be able to do it quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
And telling the stories of how they got through it.
I was like the rug got pulled from under my feet.
You took all the losses, two million dollars of your
own money out the door.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Absolutely have no tools.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You know, I had no employees, no credit, you know
I had nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
These aren't the unicorn stories with big venture capitalists behind them.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We got a box at.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Midnight and it said fifty four hundred candles. I'm like,
how in the world are we going to do this?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
These are the everyday regular people who you know, who
you love, and who decided to take a risk and
start a business because with great risk comes great reward.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
It was just like a completely bootstrapped hustle your ass off,
non stop grind.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
There's no giving up.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Keep going, make it happen, take the risk and do
whatever you have to do to do what you love.

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.
