The Achievement Drug: Building a Business You Love Without Burning Out
In this episode of the Inner Entrepreneur Podcast, Panda Ludwig shares her journey of highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Reflecting on the pressures and challenges of business, she emphasizes the importance of balance and self-care.
Panda recounts how she ignored early indicators of burnout until a severe medical diagnosis forced a complete life re-evaluation. She advocates for the concepts of loving or listing your business, highlighting that sometimes scaling might not be the ultimate goal. Instead, she encourages entrepreneurs to ask themselves deep questions about their true motivations and to align their business goals with their life aspirations. This episode offers insightful strategies for building profitable and sustainable businesses while maintaining personal well-being.

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.
