we are interviewing Colin Bye, the founder of Manscending. We delve into the problem that many young men face today: forming meaningful connections in a world where they often feel misunderstood and isolated. Referencing Equimundo's State of American Men 2023 report, we discuss the alarming statistic that two thirds of US men aged 18 to 23 feel that "no one really knows me well." We explore Colin's personal journey, discussing his early struggles with maintaining friendships amidst frequent moves and his transformative experience in college when he joined a fraternity. We hear about how this led him to appreciate the critical role of community in ensuring wellbeing and success, and his commitment to mastering the art of creating meaningful connections. Our conversation illuminates Manscending's mission: to drive positive change in men's lives through the practice of mindfulness. We unpack the role mindfulness plays in facilitating spaces where men can express themselves honestly and without judgment. Together with Colin, we discuss the strategies he's developed to help men contribute to society powerfully and sustainably, despite the unique challenges of modern times. Finally, we discuss Colin's vision for building a worldwide brotherhood of calm, competent, and compassionate men, and how listeners can join this movement. This episode proves to be an enlightening discussion for any man, or anyone who cares about men's wellbeing, as we dive into the art of meaningful connection, mindfulness, and positive social change.

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.
