In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a stunning guest, Christine Lagorio-Chafkin who shares amazing insights and perspective on forecasting business, traits of a good leader, media literacy, social censorship, tips for a successful business and entrepreneurship, curating content, and how to fact check things and classify fake news!
Christine Lagorio-Chafkin is a well-known writer, editor, senior writer at Inc. where she covers innovation, small business, and entrepreneurship, and has won National Magazine Awards for General Excellence and several Eppys. She is also a reporter whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, and The Village Voice, among other publications.
She hosts the What I Know podcast, which talks about the big lessons that entrepreneurs have learned from their hardest times. Prior to joining Inc., she was a writer and producer for CBS News. She began her career interning for The Village Voice’s legendary investigative reporter Wayne Barrett. Her book about Reddit and Internet culture, We Are the Nerds: The Birth and Tumultuous Life of Reddit, the Internet’s Culture Laboratory, was published by Hachette Books.
Christine describes the craziness of the internet, the dark trenches, and the bright spots. He also explains the significance of thinking ahead on whatever things you’re currently doing to prepare for the future. She added the importance of having a high tolerance, flexible thinking, and mental agility on risks and failures whenever starting a business. But, never forget the accountability of whatever action you’re taking.
Moreover, according to her, in order to thrive and succeed in your business, humility and listening to your employees are key. This is the ability to open up difficult discussions before it is truly difficult, and planning how to act, and elaborate on their comfort level. These are the things that make the best teams, organizations, and business cultures!

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.
