Jack Gindi – “PapaJack”
Founder, I Believe In Me Foundation | Creator, Believe. Become. Be You. | Real Estate Entrepreneur & Philanthropist
Jack Gindi, known affectionately as “PapaJack,” is a lifelong entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who has turned decades of personal triumphs and setbacks into a mission of empowerment for families worldwide.
After building and managing more than half a billion dollars in real-estate transactions—and overcoming bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis—Jack discovered that true wealth isn’t measured in square footage or balance sheets, but in connection, belief, and purpose. That revelation became the foundation of his life’s work.
He is the creator of the “I Believe In Me” (IBIM) online course and the “Believe, Become, Be You” (BBBY) movement—transformational programs that teach emotional intelligence, belief, and daily aligned action to parents, teens, and young adults. Jack’s framework, known as the Four Pillars of Life—Body, Being, Balance, and Business— helps families map their dreams and live intentionally through what he calls “Life Mapping.”
Through the I Believe In Me Foundation, Jack ensures that every child, regardless of financial means, can access tools to build confidence and resilience. His “no child turned away” model allows those who can afford to give to sponsor those who cannot—creating a cycle of belief and giving that echoes his lifelong philosophy: “We rise by lifting others.”
Rooted deeply in family and legacy, Jack’s journey is also shaped by the profound loss of his son Shaun, whose vision of helping kids believe in themselves continues to guide every step of Jack’s work. Whether he’s speaking on podcasts, hosting events, or mentoring young leaders, Jack’s presence is authentic, heart-driven, and filled with the wisdom of lived experience.
Today, PapaJack is on a mission to bring emotional intelligence and belief-based living into homes, schools, and communities—one story, one family, one conversation at a time.

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.
