In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my friend and returning guest Chris Williams—entrepreneur, coach, and author—to talk about what it really means to create freedom in business and life.
Chris just released his new book, and it's already making waves in the world of online entrepreneurship. It's a playbook for building high-ticket masterminds and group coaching programs—but it's so much more than that. It's about building real freedom—the kind that lets you live fully, give deeply, and grow without burning out.
In this conversation, Chris pulls back the curtain on his own transformation—from grinding long hours in a traditional business model to designing a lifestyle rooted in impact, income, and intentionality. Inspired by Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, Chris began building systems that allowed him to work less and live more—and now he helps others do the same.
We dive into:
How to design high-ticket masterminds that scale without trading time for money
Why hustle culture is outdated—and what to focus on instead
Building strong relationships with coaches and mentors that fuel long-term success
Creating emotional and financial "safety nets" in both business and life
How to use boundaries and presence to protect your most valuable asset—your time
Why living authentically will always outperform performance-driven growth
Chris brings the kind of wisdom that comes from hard lessons, real wins, and being deeply rooted in purpose. This episode isn't just for entrepreneurs—it's for anyone who's tired of the grind and ready to live with more clarity, intention, and freedom.

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.
