We have an amazing guest this week.  Meet Debra Olshan Cooper, a woman with 30 years of expertise in public relations and marketing, landing her clients on numerous tv shows such as Good Morning America, as the owner of FreshConnect.  Debra now uses those same strategies to help recent college grads develop and pitch their own story to land amazing jobs. 

Debra has some great advice for recent college grads, such as, “if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough” and “if you can connect emotionally and create and experiential feeling, you’re hired, you just are” and “If you have an idea, you can craft it, architect and design it, and go for it!  Tell the world about it.  This is what employers want to see.”  Debra believes that Gen Z has such great value, “if they only knew it.”  

We loved this podcast episode with Debra.  It is full of great career tips for recent college graduates and it is a fun interview as Debra brings an amazing level of enthusiasm and joy.  We hope you enjoy as much as we did!

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.
