Systemize Your Success Podcast

Reclaim your time, reduce stress, and create more impact. For years, Dr. Steve Day was a slave to his businesses - working insane hours and living in constant stress and overwhelm. After suffering through burnout and depression, he realised that success doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from aligning your work with your ideal life and systemising the things that matter. That shift changed everything. By focusing on key systems, he transformed his business and lifestyle - emigrating to Sweden and living with more presence, purpose and impact. In Systemize Your Success, he shares the strategies that helped him step out of the grind so that you can do the same. This podcast is for small business owners who want to honour their authentic selves, create more space and freedom, and leverage their strengths for meaningful impact. You'll learn how to streamline operations, outsource effectively, manage a remote team, and set up systems that free you to focus on building a business you feel proud to talk about. If you’re ready to build a successful business and have the freedom to enjoy it- hit subscribe, and let's make it happen.

    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.
