What happens when a billion-dollar company can be built by a team of one, or just a few, thanks to AI? In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing work, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and organizational structure.
Our guest, a veteran tech entrepreneur Dave Sifry, shares hard-won lessons from scaling startups like Technorati, insights on company growth breakpoints, and candid reflections on how Gen Z and Gen X are navigating this new world. We unpack the socio-economic implications of AI, the dangers of centralized power, and the once-in-a-generation opportunity to build lean, impact-driven companies.
Whether you're starting out or reinventing yourself mid-career, this conversation is for anyone curious about the real future of work.

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.
