In December 2020, we launched the Sticky Brand Lab podcast with a mission to encourage more women over 40 to become entrepreneurs. The goal is to empower women personally and professionally, leveraging their knowledge and experience into a source of income. But what does the path to starting your own business really look like? For Tara McKinney, it meant having the courage to be an Ask Muse guest on our show in 2021 so she could get help identifying and articulating her business niche. Then, ready to turn her idea into action, Tara joined our 8-module DIY course, Create, Design and Launch Your Business Website.
In this episode, Tara returns to the show as Founder of Soul in Service, to fill us in on her entrepreneurial journey and share her struggles, successes, and the valuable lessons she learned along the way. Tara's story is a testament to the courage and resilience required to turn a passion into a successful business.

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.
