“Start a business, and just start asking for help. You can get there a lot faster than what I think a lot of other people can or do, who tend to be more closed and guarded in their approach,” says Jay B Sauceda, entrepreneur-in-residence with Salt Box and former CEO of Sauceda Industries. Today, he joins host Stefan Whitwell to talk about the lessons he has learned along his entrepreneurial journey from how to celebrate your human capital to the importance of saying thank you.
Jay B focuses on building Texas culture into his businesses with a real focus on ensuring his employees feel valued and celebrated. Many companies make the mistake of focusing only on consumers and forget to put time into attracting and retaining the best talent. Even something as simple as writing a thank you note can go a long way in building relationships. As a leader, it can get lonely at the top, and one of Jay B’s most prized gifts is feedback from former employees who felt he was a great boss.
Your business cannot be successful without a strong and talented team. The most effective way to attract and retain the best talent is to design a work culture where human capital is at the highest level of priority.
Quotes:
- “Everybody can do logistics, but we want to make sure that we have the best team possible and that'll create the sticky relationship that will make customers want to come here and stay.” (11:34-11:44 | Jay B)
- “This is my playbook and every business I run and build, this is what I incorporate.” (14:35-14:40 | Jay B)
- “Enabling people to celebrate in the way that is meaningful to them was always what was important.” (16:40-16:44 | Jay B)
- “As a leader, it can kind of feel like you're never really doing enough.” (29:08-29:10 | Jay B)
- “Your ability to hold someone accountable comes from your ability to develop trust with them.” (40:24-40:29 | Jay B)
- “Start a business and just start asking for help. You can get there a lot faster than what I think a lot of other people can or do, who tend to be more closed and guarded in their approach.” (43:59-44:12 | Jay B)

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.
