Quotes from this episode:
“Coming up with a budget was huge for me because I had money coming in, but I didn’t really know where it was going. Having a plan in place to know where my money is [and] where it’s going allowed me to have additional money to pay off my credit card debt.” — Tom Bekas [9:07]
“I’m not as emotionally attached to money as I once was. Money comes, money goes, but having a plan and knowing where that money is going when it does come in is super powerful.” — Tom Bekas [13:58]
“Pick up the phone. Make the call. [Financial coaches] are not judging you on the other side. They have actually been through a lot themselves – and they can help you get to a place where you can become financially free.” — Tom Bekas [17:35]

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.
