If you think email marketing is just “set it and forget it,” this episode is going to hurt a little.
Christopher is back with a scalpel and he’s dissecting what’s wrong with your email marketing program and how to stop bleeding leads before Q4 hits.
In this episode, he’s walking you through the email marketing autopsy: from bloated master lists and lifeless automations to fluffy content that lands in the trash faster than a Times Square flyer. A breakdown of what most brands get wrong and what needs to change now—to turn your email list into a conversion engine (not a dead weight in your CRM).
You'll learn how to clean up your lists, structure KPIs that actually mean something, create campaigns that resonate, and set up automations that work while you're sleeping (not against you). Plus, he breaks down what email programs are worth the investment, and why “free” is probably costing you conversions.
What’s Inside:
- The one list mistake sabotaging your segmentation
- Why most “lead goals” are fluff without strategic KPIs
- How to segment without surveys (and still stay relevant)
- Automation flows every brand should have in place
- The tool you should immediately steal from your competitors
From the Episode: Email marketing isn’t dead, your strategy is.
If you’re tired of seeing zero ROI from your email list, this is your wake-up call.

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.
