What does "independence" mean to you?

It is no coincidence that this episode drop on Independence Day in the U.S.

To me, ANY day of the year can be your independence day.

When you recognize your innate talents, embrace them, develop them, and leverage them to create your dream life you will experience the ultimate independence.

We all get caught up in circumstances but when you set you mind to a goal, develop your talents, and get into the flow... YOU... WILL... BE... UNSTOPPABLE!

As with every season premier episode I introduce the reason for the season and Season 3 is no different.

In this season we will explore a framework founded on the concepts of both Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (grandfather of Flow and Positive Psychology) and Robert Fritz (creator of DMA and Technologies for Creating).

Both spent the better part of their lives developing and sharing these concepts.

Mihaly passed away a couple of years ago but Robert is still around and creating.

I consider these two thought leaders as mentors.  I never met either but I have read, listened, and watched anything of theirs I can get my hands, eyes, or ears on.

Combined with my life's work in music, acting, lean manufacturing, agile methodologies, and Servant Leadership I have developed the Creative Kraken Framework for me and all y'all to create a rich and fulfilled life.

Give us a listen... IF YOU DARE!!!

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.
