On Mind Over Masculinity, Avik digs into the hard edges of losing it all—and rebuilding anyway. Entrepreneur and business podcast coach Roy Coughlan breaks down what it was like to go from managing developments and properties across countries to facing multi-million-dollar liabilities, court actions, and starting from zero. We focus on the mental game: dealing with shame, handling debt collectors, protecting your energy, practicing forgiveness, and staying present with family while rebuilding. If you’re a man navigating financial stress, this conversation is a practical reset for self-worth, resilience, and leadership.
About the Guest :

Key Takeaways :
-
Financial collapse hits your identity first; separating net worth from self-worth is step one.
-
Document, don’t debate: when under pressure from creditors, prioritize written communication over phone calls to reduce harassment and keep records.
-
Gratitude trains your attention; list what’s working daily to prevent scarcity spirals.
-
Forgiveness is performance hygiene: releasing resentment frees cognitive bandwidth for problem-solving.
-
Presence over panic: turn off notifications, focus on one role at a time (work vs. family), and your execution improves.
-
Environment matters: avoid doom-scrolling and content that spikes fear; choose inputs (comedy, connection, movement) that stabilize your nervous system.
-
Learn your rights: basic consumer/privacy rules and process literacy help you push back on unfair tactics.
-
Don’t follow the herd: rebuild on values, not optics—no performative grind, just consistent action.
-
Define success as capacity (clarity, health, time with your people), not only capital.
-
Rebuild by cash flow first, not optics: small wins, recurring revenue, and tight expenses beat image plays.

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.
