What does it look like to turn adversity into opportunity—and then use it to change millions of lives?
This week's guest is Ryan Sahlin, Founder & Executive Director of Greater Than The Game, a New Jersey–based 501(c)(3) media nonprofit dedicated to sharing uplifting, inspirational stories from the world of sports and empowering youth to build mental strength and resilience.
In this episode, Ryan shares the mantras that shaped him—“get up,” “keep pounding,” and “rented belief”—and how living with cerebral palsy and dyslexia fueled his passion to tell stories that spark hope. We talk about consistency, going viral, the power of perspective, and why his mission to spread the good in sports has reached millions of people worldwide.

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.
