Our guest today is a man who epitomizes entrepreneurship; Dan Bowling, President of The Genesis Company. The Genesis Company provides end-to-end solutions for entrepreneurs by bringing their brands and ideas to retail. The framework they use is one Dan adopted from Marc Lore, a markedly famous serial entrepreneur he's followed for many years. Using the acronym VCP, which stands for Vision, Capital and People, Dan has utilized this model for every company he's launched and grown.
Hearing Dan's story, it seems he was a 'born leader', even on the playground! The other kids would look to Dan for direction on how they'd be spending that day's recess, and Dan never disappointed. Fast forward to today, and you'll find Dan still in a leadership role that focuses on collaboration, both internally and externally. He considers himself a member of the team, more than the boss, and the longevity of his loyal employees proves their job satisfaction and how strong the company culture is.
Dan is a person who likes to help others. Whenever he learns of another entrepreneur feeling stuck on how to move forward, Dan's advice is always to go to your network. He believes that people by nature want to help others, yet we don't ask for help like we could from the people we know, like and trust: our network.
The Genesis Company puts great value in giving back to the community. Its employees determine which charities the company will donate to or sponsor and they're usually tied to organizations that cater to the welfare of children.

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.
