Okay, what’s life really like when you’re legally blind? How would this disability shape your life? Would you relocate thousands of miles to play American football and go to University? My guest today is Aaron Golub and that’s exactly what he did.
Aaron was the first legally blind person to play division one college football. The next step is to play in the NFL. You’ve got to be highly talented to get a place at a college at this level of sports. But life has never been easy for Aaron, this is a guy who has had to dig deep throughout his life to get the results he wanted. His disability has defined him but in the most positive of ways and he admits in our conversation that if he were given the chance to be born with perfect eyesight he wouldn’t do it! That, for me, says everything about this outstanding young man.
This is a conversation about grit and determination, it’s about personal drive and setting big goals for your life. Aaron is one of those guys whose wisdom belies his age. His level of gratitude for everyone that has helped him and who put their faith and trust in him is evident throughout our conversation.
So this is me and Aaron Golub – entrepreneur, speaker and all round great guys talking about his life so far and his dreams and goals. This is a conversation about not giving up and also putting the time in to achieve what you want. Facing down adversity and coming out a better person.
This is a guy who really knows what he wants, he works hard every day and strives to improve every day, even if it’s just 1%. He knows all about the compound effect!
But ultimately this is man who truly understands that putting others above yourself is the foundation of his success.

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.
