Colin Rule is one of those people who you feel good to know. His journey has taken him from the Windy City to the Silicon Valley with so many stops in between. Colin was there at the birth (if not conception) of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). At eBay he developed an ODR platform which was used to resolve more than 60 million disputes a year. That's not a typo.  60 million disputes a year! Colin and I discuss how ODR has developed since we first met during an event in Brussels c. 2001 where I was leading a team launching Europe's first ever ODR scheme - for Ford Motor Company. We discuss the scale difference between the UK and the giants of the US, China and India. We discuss ODR in the UK and Colin's view that whilst Blockchain and Metaverse are still work in progress, AI is here - right now - and nobody should ignore it. Finally we cover how the pandemic has modernised and normalised ODR - especially for mediation. To get in touch, please send me an email or leave a voice message.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
