In this episode, we sit down with Kim Strohmeier, founder of Still Waters Business Coaching, to explore “The Art of Letting Go”—a transformative concept for business owners struggling to scale because they’re caught in the weeds. Kim shares how effective delegation is less about giving tasks away and more about empowering others through intentional training, mindset shifts, and clear authority structures.
Drawing on analogies from orchestral conducting and tools like the Profit & Play Prism™ and Milestones to Mastery™, Kim breaks down a step-by-step approach to offloading the right tasks to the right people. We discuss common mindset traps, how to build trust through feedback, and how letting go can unlock hidden strengths in your team—and yourself.
Whether you're overwhelmed with day-to-day operations or seeking a practical framework to build a more resilient and scalable business, this episode provides actionable insights to help you focus on what you do best.

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.
