Today's Devo Talks is all about staying healthy - physically, mentally, and morally during difficult times. Our guest Elias Rizk is the founder of ebCard, a Montréal company that helps businesses increase the quality of their lead generation and data acquisitions so that they can make a lasting impact on the customers they serve. Over the years, Elias has devoted his life to speaking on building relationships, encouraging small businesses, and teaching marketing principles to help companies excel. 

During this show, we discuss some practical ways to thrive and not just survive, while we're quarantined at home and working remotely. The conversation is rich with anecdotal wisdom, useful tips, a dose of dad humor, and more! It's a bit longer than usual, but we believe it will be well worth your time.

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.
