Ever rolled your eyes at the phrase “personal brand”? Same. But before you check out, I want to show you why building a personal brand might be the most profitable thing you do in business.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
- What building a personal brand really means (hint: it's not about being an influencer)
- The exact hires that helped me step into my CEO role
- The journal entry I wrote after hiring a COO (yes, I’m sharing it 👀)
- And how one messy Facebook post led me to my most powerful team member
Back in 2019, I was running multiple 7-figure offers, managing teams, building tech—and I was overwhelmed. I needed help, but I didn’t know where to start. So I under-hired on purpose, and it changed everything.
If you're juggling all the hats and feeling stretched too thin, this episode is for you.
Because your personal brand isn’t fluff—it’s a growth lever. And when you build the right team and let go of perfection, you can scale faster than ever.
Let’s dive in.

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.
