Lamar Chase, owner of Chase Electric, joins us in this podcast to reflect on lessons learned from missteps made as a licensed electrician turned business owner. As a young teen, thirteen years old, Lamar did electrical work with his uncle and it has been a trade he literally grew-up mastering.  Lamar has been a licensed electrician for over 21 years and working for himself for the past six.

Lamar reflects on three basic truths he has learned as a business owner; 

  • “not all money is good money,” 

  • “not all people are good people,” and 

  • “not everybody is your friend.” 

Lamar learns about working with big-money builders (he names names) and house flippers that want to maximize profits by spending the LEAST amount of money while compromising safety and convenience. Lamar learned the hard way how to turn down a lot of money and not working with the wrong partners. He learned his worth and how to be affirmative.

His advice:

  • Know your worth and

  • Set expectations by boxing it out

Tune in to learn more about electrical codes, what politics can factor into the codes continuously changing and what Lamar thinks about electrical code in general.

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.
