In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my friend Devin Sizemore, a seasoned entrepreneur and mentor who has dedicated his career to helping others accelerate their success. Devin takes us through his journey from being a hungry, young entrepreneur to becoming a trusted guide for others who are building businesses and striving to make an impact.
We dive deep into the importance of stepping into the mentor role, why giving back matters, and how to shorten the learning curve for others so they can achieve results faster. Devin shares powerful strategies for always putting yourself in the right rooms, surrounding yourself with the right people, and creating opportunities that can transform your business and your life.
One of the biggest themes in this conversation is the idea of creating "wow moments" in both business and sales. Devin breaks down how exceeding expectations and focusing on the customer experience can completely change the trajectory of your growth. We even touch on what entrepreneurs can learn from the magic of Disney when it comes to creating unforgettable experiences.
Devin also introduces us to his ACEs community, a powerful platform designed to help entrepreneurs master networking, make meaningful connections, and learn from expert interviews. He explains how surrounding yourself with the right community can give you the edge you need to scale faster and lead with abundance.
If you've ever wondered how to build authentic relationships, grow your network without being transactional, and create a lasting impact, this episode will give you practical strategies and real-world examples to apply immediately.

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.
