Have you ever thought to follow your passion and do what you love to do? And then all the fears creep in: Who will pay you for this? How will you build an audience? What if people don't like what you do? Imposter syndrome of asking, "Who am I to do this?" What if people laugh at your goals?
Jon Aaron Sandler knows those fears well. "You are too boring," the Parisian guitarist said to him on a public stage😳 after he shared his work. It led him to family, travel, catastrophic injury, learning to walk again and reckoning with vulnerability in a new way to own and share his story to pursue his dreams.
In 2019, he had ZERO social media accounts, ZERO email list, and ZERO online presence. By 2020 during the pandemic, he had an international audience with 500,000 monthly Twitter impressions, a live virtual event attended by people across multiple continents, and a sold-out product launch. Now, that he has an audience, we'll talk about what to do next.
On the show, we'll be talking about Part 1 of Jon Aaron Sandler's journey about the good and bad of change:
- How to approach building an audience, if you are a total newbie and want to create growth
- How to handle trolls, online rage, including how he's turned bad situations into creating new superfans
- How to shift from building followers and accruing "Likes" to creating genuine engagement
It's helpful because you can learn from someone who started from scratch or zero recently. Check it out so you can learn how you can make progress too.

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.
