“I’m NOT an influencer. I don’t have a million followers.”
That’s exactly how I started my talk at the Rize Credit Union Event on, “How to Get Consistent Customers.”
“I don’t have a million followers. Actually, majority of you didn’t know who I was before this event. And you know what? That’s GREAT NEWS for you, because building a sustainable business doesn’t require a massive following -- and I’ll coach you through you.”
Good news for you, the replay of this talk is on Apple and Spotify.
Despite not having a million followers, here’s what I’ve accomplished:
- Raised millions of dollars for political campaigns and nonprofit organizations from my first business (I was a former fundraiser)
- Built a successful and sustainable coaching business where I’ve now served 10k+ clients in 58 different countries
- On track to hit hit multi-six figures from corporate contracts in 2025
What You’ll Learn in Episode 103:
- How I landed my first customers in every organization I’ve worked for (spoiler: no website or social media required!).
- The secrets to showing up authentically on social media without feeling fake or forced.
- Why letting go of attachment to outcomes will transform your business.
- Real, actionable steps to start or scale your business sustainably.
This episode isn’t just theory—it’s packed with practical advice and real talk.
My Rize Credit Union talk turned into a group coaching session, giving entrepreneurs actionable strategies in real time and you can listen to this on Apple or Spotify.
So, if you’re curious about my coaching style or simply want to stop following "guru" advice and start building a business that works for YOU, this episode is a must-listen.

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.
