“ No one's going to say no for an interview because every SME owner needs that awareness.” - Joel Zorrilla
LinkedIn was a platform I had overlooked for years, and now I realize the massive potential it has for podcasters. My guest, Joel Zorrilla, gave some incredible insights that not only validated my experiences but also opened my eyes to strategies I hadn't even considered.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was just how powerful LinkedIn can be for podcast growth when used the right way. The way Joel broke down engagement strategies, networking, and optimizing your profile made me rethink my entire approach. I’ve already seen firsthand how much LinkedIn has helped my own podcast grow, and this episode reinforced that this is a platform every podcaster should be leveraging.
What I also loved was Joel’s emphasis on using high-quality content, networking intentionally, and playing into LinkedIn’s algorithm shifts. If you’re a podcaster looking to grow your audience, build credibility, and connect with the right people, this episode is a must-listen. This episode was an absolute game-changer for me.

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.
