In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Hurst, CFP and CEO of Impel Wealth Management, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in personal finance: that all spending is bad. With over 30 years of experience helping clients navigate retirement, Jesse shares how financial planning isn't about restriction, it's about freedom. We explore the psychology behind the transition from saving to spending, why successful savers often struggle to enjoy their wealth in retirement, and how to develop a healthy relationship with money at every life stage. Whether you're a young adult just starting out or approaching retirement with millions saved, this conversation will help you find the balance between enjoying life today and securing your financial future.

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.
