Finding True Success: The Power of Energy, Love, and Inner Purpose with Doug Gordon
In this episode, host Paul chats with Doug Gordon about the deeper meaning of success and the importance of aligning one's career with inner passion and purpose.
They explore the stark contrast in energy levels when engaging in activities you love versus those you don't, emphasizing the significance of connecting to your 'heart self' rather than your 'head self.'
Doug shares personal anecdotes and lessons, from his own career highs and lows in the financial services industry to his transformative experience with healing and mindfulness. They discuss the impact of positive and negative energy, the importance of emotional intelligence, and practical steps for self-improvement and finding fulfilment.
Doug also highlights stories from his book and how combining external strategies with internal well-being can lead to true success, all while sharing insights on managing stress, fostering empathy, and sustaining vibrant energy.

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.
