You know you need to build an email list, but how can you do it in a simple, easy and aligned way that attracts the right people, not all the people?
In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels explores how to build an aligned and engaged email list — one that feels like a natural extension of genuine connection.
Mel shares how the Subscribe stage of the client journey is about more than simply growing a list. It’s about extending intentional invitations that attract the right people who are genuinely ready to take the next step. She walks listeners through how to create lead magnets that are simple, actionable, and deliver quick wins, while also setting the stage for deeper trust and momentum.
Throughout the episode, Mel highlights the importance of treating your email list as your home base - a space that belongs to you, where you can nurture relationships, share insights, and make a lasting impact. She also uncovers some of the most common mistakes business owners make at this stage and shares practical ways to avoid them.
You’ll walk away from this episode with clarity on how to build a subscriber experience that feels natural, connected, and completely aligned with who you are and how you want to show up in business.

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.
