If you're a woman feeling stuck in your corporate career, this episode is a must-listen.
Reagan Cannon, former Amazon and AT&T executive turned entrepreneur, gets brutally honest about why so many talented women get left behind on the climb to the C-suite.
The reason?
A lack of what Reagan calls "relational courage."
After leading a nationwide research study on the barriers holding women back from executive roles, Reagan discovered that women often wait for confidence before taking action. But true courage is about "taking action in the face of your fears."
In a conversation packed with insights from her 20-year corporate career, Reagan shares the crucial mindset shifts and practical strategies that help women break through to senior leadership:
- How to get recognized for your results (hint: it's not just about doing great work)
- Why building your reputation and relationships is just as important as your skill set
- The underrated power of lifting others up as you climb
- How to get clear on your "why" and redefine your identity as a leader
Considering making the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship? Reagan's been there and has some advice:
There's no "elegant off-ramp." At some point, you have to muster the courage to "cut across traffic and leave."
But here's the good news:
Many of the skills you honed in the corporate world - leadership, communication, and managing at scale - are actually your secret weapons as an entrepreneur.
The key is transferring those skills to your new context with an experimental mindset. Knowing that "what you think will work, won't - and what you think won't work, will."
Host Jason Croft drives the conversation forward with insightful questions that dig beneath the surface, while also sharing his own hard-won wisdom on the parallels between rising in the corporate ranks and succeeding as an entrepreneur.
This episode will light a motivating fire under any woman who's ready to take her career to the next level - whether that's a coveted executive role or an entrepreneurial venture.
Tune in now and let Reagan show you how to cultivate your relational courage and unleash your true leadership potential.

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.
