[00:01:15] Why Start a Podcast?
[00:04:23] Podcasting Can Change Your Business.
[00:08:53] Imperfect Action Creates Momentum.
In this episode, Sebastian Rusk discusses that starting a podcast can be a transformative experience, both personally and professionally. It not only helps individuals overcome their fear of public speaking but also improves their communication skills and creates opportunities for growth and connection. The fear of public speaking is often seen as an illusion, holding individuals back from sharing their message and connecting with others. By starting a podcast, individuals can push past this fear and develop their communication skills. It may be intimidating at first, and the first episode may not be perfect, but taking imperfect action is key to creating momentum and getting started. It's not about being perfect; it's about getting the job done.
In addition to improving communication skills, starting a podcast can also have a positive impact on one's business. It provides a platform to showcase expertise, build relationships, and connect with potential clients or partners. By reaching out and inviting guests to be on the podcast, individuals differentiate themselves from others who are constantly asking for meetings or trying to sell something. It's about making it all about the guest and creating valuable content through interviews.
QUOTES
- "I say that podcasting can change your life and your business. If you let it, it'll change your business because it allows you to get in front of people that you're not ordinarily able to get in front of people on your prospect list, people in your pipeline, people that you want to do business with people that you want to build a relationship with."
- "We crave the opportunity to build those relationships through platforms like podcasting and a podcast interview. Just close your eyes and think about it for a second, what would it be like to interview people whom I could do business with and build a relationship with? What does that look like? Ask yourself that question. Like really think about it. You'll be surprised. The answers you get could very well lead you to taking action."
- "Imperfect action creates momentum. Momentum creates action."

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.
