💥 QUOTES 💥 

💥 "A business or organization cannot grow beyond the capabilities of the leaders running it." - Pete VanderVeen 

💥 "I'm a firm believer that servant leadership is truly the crucible of success. If you can get servant leadership right. If you can maximize your EQ and resist the obsession of your IQ, you can have incredible impact." - Pete VanderVeen 

💥 “You've got to have people around you that are firing on all cylinders. If you want to go where you want to go, if you want to utilize and maximize this vehicle towards creating an outcome that you want in your life." - Tyler Chesser 

💥 “So, when you operate out of IQ, you're in a zero-sum game. And you may not believe that, but I can assure you that that's the case. Most successful people in the world were people that had high emotional intelligence. But those are the type of people that have an authenticity to them. They're okay with criticism.” - Pete VanderVeen 

💥 “Trauma can come in in numerous forms that I think we don't give credit to. And I'm not saying that you need to just find a way to fight everything as a tragedy but understanding that situations create outcomes, and those outcomes create a reality that we start to filter life through.” - Pete VanderVeen 

💥 “So many people in this world are looking for the missing piece to answer their question, which it's the law of diminishing returns, because whatever they find, it's never going to be the answer to their validation because their validation does come from within.” - Pete VanderVeen 

💥 “I look past the symptoms and I'm looking for what I see is that person's characteristics, what I see as their strengths and weaknesses. And I'm helping them answer the questions that they're not asking.” - Pete VanderVeen

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.
