Key points Lori and Nola are sharing in this episode:

(02:04:80) The numbers tell the story. Family firms across the board outperform traditional, non-family-run firms in key areas, including financially.

(06:59:70) The where, what, and how of an idea to launch a business together came about while in a U HAUL. It led to a conversation looking at what the future of our nation holds for my daughters.

(08:06:90) How do you choose a name for your business? For 'Buck', it needed to align with a purpose and passion to support leadership in youth

(14:11:40) The decision to start a nonprofit vs. a for profit organization is not easy and takes many factors into consideration. One factor stood out above the rest

(17:45:70) The key—the arguments or conversations—are really focused on the how and what's the best and most effective way. You have to have great respect for each other's strengths and weaknesses.

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.
