In this episode of The CX and Culture Connection, host Matt Egol, CCXP, welcomes longtime collaborator and fellow innovator Sujay Saha, Founder and President of Cortico-X. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to build experiences that stick—focusing not just on rapid execution, but on long-term, human-centered transformation. From their shared history at PwC to co-developing the "Return on Experience" framework, this episode is both a reunion and a forward-looking blueprint for modern CX leaders.
Sujay shares his journey from consulting to entrepreneurship, and how Cortico-X is leading the charge in productizing services that drive meaningful, measurable change. Topics include experience activism, dynamic roadmapping, AI-powered customer insights, and how to bridge the gap between strategy and behavioral adoption across an organization. Matt and Sujay explore how culture, data, and design can be tightly interwoven to turn CX into an organization-wide discipline—not just a department.
If you're a CX leader looking to elevate impact, accelerate innovation, and embed human-centered thinking into your organization’s DNA, this is a must-listen.

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.
