Fresh off a recent Tool Shed episode featuring Matt from The Site Shed, this crossover promises practical wisdom and relatable stories for tradies, builders, and anyone looking to level up their business game.

Brandon and Mick dive into the crucial topic of daily rituals for business success, exploring why simple routines like the "Prioritized Daily Action List" and "Personal Success Ritual" can be absolute game changers for tradies who are more comfortable on the job site than behind a desk. Mick shares lessons learned from decades of time management coaching and business consulting, revealing the mindset shifts and small habits that separate successful business owners from those who struggle.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
