One would not suspect a young newspaper carrier to redefine the process from sidewalk or porch drop to in-home delivery, as it was self defined. Now would one expect that to turn into his first positive business exit. But that's what you'll hear on today's episode with Mark Haney. Inspiring, educational and not without the highs and lows of taking the family business into a creative growth cycle only to find a highly leveraged situation that went from optmistic to nearly broke.
A testament to the power of dreaming big, adapting to change, and seizing opportunities came from unexpected challenges. Then there's the critical role of building a strong team and fostering commitment within a business. Mark shares the essential elements that bind a team together: a compelling vision, strategic resource allocation, and an unyielding dedication to the shared goal. As a leader, he also emphasizes the contagious nature of commitment and the significance of understanding the founder's 'why'. You'll hear valuable insights into the dynamics of family businesses, the joy of shared success, and the profound impact of love and potential in creating unity.
Finally, Natalie and Mark candidly discuss the balance between investor involvement and executive freedom, stressing the benefits of trust and personal investment in a company's success. Through his narrative, we see how entrepreneurs can craft a business that operates independently, enabling a life that harmonizes with their deepest values. Whether a budding entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, this episode offers wisdom on leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of a fulfilled life.

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.
