Here we are once again. The new name is The Creative Stoic Podcast. If you've been a listener for long enough, you'll know that this podcast has gone through 2 name changes.

Why do I do this? Because I want to be biased towards action. The way I see it, there are 2 ways to get creative work done.

1) Spend months, or years trying to find the perfect name for what you want to create. Planning every single thing with the risk of never...

    I just watched Joker (2019) for the second time and it got me thinking about a classical philosophical debate of good and evil.

    Hey There my name is Santi, welcome to the podcast. Today I want to do a short episode, just myself to talk about change.

    I want to share my thoughts with you about questions such as:

    How can we deal with change?

    What should we do when we are frighted by change?

    What do the Stoic philosophers think about change?

      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.
