What if success wasn't about more, but about enough? In this refreshingly honest conversation, Emma Steenson - former management consultant turned entrepreneur and executive coach - shares how selling a business and reaching financial security forced her to rethink success. If you've been running on autopilot - chasing "more" without stopping to ask what you really want - this episode will make you pause and rethink.
Key Takeaways
-
Success is Personal and Evolves Over Time:
Emma's journey highlights how definitions of success shift—from financial milestones to personal satisfaction and fulfilment. The episode explores letting go of traditional markers in favour of what genuinely matters to you. -
Understanding "Enough":
The conversation dives into what "enough" means financially and emotionally, the importance of identifying your own baseline, and resisting the endless chase for more. -
Practical Realities of Working for Yourself:
Emma and Anna candidly discuss the gritty side of entrepreneurship—marketing yourself, facing uncertainty, and the often-unseen hard work behind "freedom." -
Navigating the Noise:
As Emma shares, finding your unique path and not getting distracted by fleeting trends or other people's blueprints is vital, especially in a rapidly changing business landscape. -
Resilience Through the Tough Times:
The episode closes with advice for those in a low point: keep going, trust the process, and remember that the tough patches make the successes all the sweeter.

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.
