“The thing that was most important was how I approached it psychologically… And I didn't just kind of achieve those things. I blew them out of the water.”—Jon Rankin
When placed together, reflection and conversation have an uncanny way of bringing about clarity and NEW lessons learned.

(9:43) “Here's the fundamental thing that everybody needs to remember and understand if you're going to set a goal. The only reason to set a goal is to motivate you to achieve it.”
(11:53) So what’s a norm-referenced goal versus a self-referenced goal?
(13:20) Why do most people set norm-referenced goals?
(15:32) Breaking free of mindsets can mean success…
(17:19) Context versus comparing…
(21:28) “The reality is the whole time what was really driving them was the self-referenced goals.”
(22:42) There are positives to norm-referenced goals…
(25:06) Turning the focus to self-referenced goals…
(26:29) How self-referenced goals align with the phrase, “Go Be More…”

(35:46) “There's a common theme, which is the more you're focused on the self-referenced work, the more likely you are to achieve the norm-referenced success.”
(38:25) Falling is part of the process and there’s value in the transferable aspect of self-referenced goals…
(41:41) “If you’re consistent and you're doing the right things you create this really positive feedback loop, boom, and make a big leap.”

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.
