Jamie Laing is an Entrepreneur, Podcaster, Broadcaster, Author and Presenter. He is the founder of the confectionery company Candy Kittens, the Podcast production company Jampot, and is best known for appearing on Made in Chelsea and is now a regular radio presenter on BBC Radio 1. He hosts two chart topping shows: Great Company, and NewlyWeds which he hosts alongside his wife Sophie Habboo. Beyond business and broadcasting, Jamie is an advocate for mental health awareness, and early this year completed 5 ultra marathons in 5 days for comic relief and is releasing his next book ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ out in October.
In this episode Jamie opens up about all aspects of his life, the risks he has taken, the things he got wrong and how he has learnt to grow and believe in himself. His story so far has been one of resilience, curiosity, and the pursuit of passion and he trusts his gut when faced with big decisions. His three Sliding Doors Moment include: getting a knee injury which shattered his dreams of becoming a professional rugby player, deciding to do Made in Chelsea instead of taking a job in wealth management and the moment he decided to follow his instinct and start a podcast which has led him on a journey to fulfill his dream!

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.
