Welcome to the first NEW episode of 2025! Today, I'm sitting down with an extraordinary woman, Jenna Quaranta, also known as JQ. Before you tune in, I want to issue a trigger warning: this episode deals with the sensitive topic of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.

In our conversation, JQ shares her miraculous survival story from the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas. This horrific event not only changed the trajectory of her life, it also profoundly impacted her career path. JQ opens up about how this traumatic experience led her to become a Certified Mental Health Ambassador as well as launching her hugely impactful sales training business called "Field Sales Method".

Throughout our discussion, JQ reveals how she transformed her harrowing experience into a powerful tool for motivation and inspiration. She talks about leveraging her journey to create a unique personal brand that resonates with others, particularly in the sales industry.

Join us as we explore JQ's inspiring story of resilience, her insights on mental health in the workplace, and how she's using her experiences to make a positive impact in the business world.

Stuff You Should Know
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.
