What’s your million?
A million anything can be impressive—or insignificant—depending on the context.
A million breaths keep us alive for a little over a month.
A million stars is barely a fraction of our galaxy.
Elon Musk's net worth is $400 billion which is 400 thousand millions.
A million can mean everything or nothing, depending on how you look at it.
For me, surpassing one million downloads felt impossible—until it wasn’t.
In this episode, I dive into what chasing your million really means:
• The parallel between success and sacrifice: are we willing to endure what it takes to achieve the big goals we dream about?
• Why consistency matters more than perfection—starting and showing up creates more opportunities for success than stopping or never starting at all.
• How what feels small today can snowball into something vast if you just keep going.
The truth is, whatever your million represents—whether it’s a business, a dream, or a vision—it’s going to demand something from you. Success always runs parallel with suffering, discomfort, and hard choices. The question is: are you willing to do the work and make the sacrifices to get there?
A million downloads didn’t happen because I planned it perfectly—it happened because I started.
I kept going. I stayed in motion.
If you’re chasing your own version of a million, remember this: starting matters. Staying consistent matters. It puts you in the game and gives you a shot at something bigger than you ever thought possible.
What’s your million?
And are you willing to chase it?
Press play. Let’s talk about it.

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.
