Ever felt the burn of a side hustle morphing into a full-time gig? We’ve got a treat for you - an exhilarating conversation with our Head of Community, Jan Almasy and Mitchell Golden, a graduate of IndeCollective and a pro-LSAT instructor. He spills the beans on his journey from being a television writer to an LSAT tutor, his unique tutoring style, and how he turned his side hustle into a booming business.

As we delve deeper into this illuminating discussion, we explore Mitchell's teaching strategies, his perspective on creating room for errors, and his ingenious concept of incorporating supervised drills in his lessons. Mitchell also takes us on a tour of his experiences with other standardized tests, and how these ventures have enriched his role as an LSAT guide. We tackle the often-neglected topic of mental health and burnout. Mitchell emphasizes the need for rest and a healthy work-life equilibrium to reach the pinnacle of success.

To wrap up, Mitchell dispenses some valuable advice for those aiming to kickstart a tutoring business. He accentuates the importance of setting a price for your services, safeguarding your schedule, and transforming mistakes into learning opportunities. But that’s not all - he shares his enlightening journey to authenticity, the importance of writing like himself instead of his idols, and how that has contributed to his triumphs. Mitchell signs off with some resource recommendations for achieving success in law school and consulting, underlining the importance of rest and prioritizing mental health.

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.
