Tweetable Quotes

Quote: "In the future, it's going to be optimizing for something that you've never seen before, and you will never see. Because it'll be a niche search online, or a niche LLM online, that's being used for a specific purpose." — Greg Brooks 00:09:17

Quote: "If we don't know what to look for, we've already lost the ability to create something of the highest level of quality. But if we do know what to look for, and what we should be striving for, now it's way less work, because we don't have to do these things." — Greg Brooks 00:13:22 

Leadership and CEO Responsibilities: "Leaders very much need to do the same because they need to be doing that for themselves, and they also need to be able to be doing that for their team simultaneously." — Greg Brooks 00:23:15

“I think it's just understanding where you're at now and where your competition's at now and how far away you are from them in terms of things like website authority, domain authority, domain rating, things like that." — Greg Brooks 00:28:52

"Low hanging fruit is almost always a fancy way of saying, like, short term outcomes, which is typically not a winning strategy." — Greg Brooks 00:36:33 

"Time is the most valuable resource you have and of course, we can all figure it out and you can figure it out all by yourself, but speed wins. Someone else who pays for true expertise to speed critical processes will outperform trial and error every single time, but the key here is allocating resources well whether that be finances or time. There's a balance." — Jeff

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
