In this episode, Michael Praeger sits down with Sara Grafals, the Senior Vice President of Regional Finance for Speedway Motorsports, to discuss how AvidXchange’s automation tools have saved their team $300K and hundreds of hours of staff time.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
The Covid pandemic forced a lot of companies to examine their processes and the ease of automation and streamlining for remote offices. AvidXchange allowed Speedway Motorsports to work seamlessly together in their accounts payable processes.
We can learn so much from our teams about how we can grow as leaders. Creating an environment where your team can give you - and each other - constructive criticism in a respectful manner will help you grow exponentially.
Before switching to AvidXchange, Sara had an exclusively paper system for onboarding and accounts payable. After switching, the team didn’t miss a beat in their processes because the automation and digital formats made it way easier to stay on top of.

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.
