Guest Bio:
Susan Packard, who has helped to build powerful media brands like HBO, CNBC, and HGTV. She was the second employee at HGTV, its co-founder, and its former chief operating officer. HGTV became Scripps Networks Interactive when they created new brands and platforms. She helped build these businesses to a market value of over $15 billion.
Susan left the corporate media world to become a writer, mentor, and a leadership speaker. She has an established platform as an author today. TarcherPerigee (Penguin Random House) published her first book NEW RULES OF THE GAME: 10 Strategies for Women in the Workplace in 2015 and her second book FULLY HUMAN: Three Steps to Grow Your Emotional Fitness in Work, Leadership and Life in 2019. Both of these books explore how practices of good emotional health can help us to create better lives and careers. In NEW RULES she touched on grit, resilience and team trust. In FULLY HUMAN, she wrote about emotional fitness, a practice she teaches today to leaders, which was at the core of their success at HGTV. Susan gave a Tedx talk about emotional fitness at UCLA.
In 2020, she was named one of the top 40 women keynote speakers by RealLeaders, and continues to be an active speaker at organizations and universities like Stanford Business School, Carnegie Mellon and University of Alabama.
Susan was the first woman elected to serve on the board of directors of Churchill Downs, Inc., the owner and manager of the Kentucky Derby.
Susan has done many things in her career others might consider “brave,” but the most courageous thing she’s ever done was to ask for help for an on-going substance use disorder. In 2019, she gave a Commencement address at Michigan State University, her alma mater, and shared with the 5,000 graduates and their families some of her addiction and recovery journey. There she was awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor in Humanities.

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.
