See what happens when women founders build together. RSVP and join us for the Dear FoundHer Forum Virtual Open House + Networking Session on December 9th Growth takes on a new shape when a social media manager realizes her own brand no longer reflects the business she wants to run and chooses to rebuild it with the clarity of a small business owner who is ready to move forward with intention.Shane Shaps sits down with Lindsay Pinchuk to reflect on the turning points that reshaped her work as both a social media manager and a small business owner. She talks about the moment she noticed her brand no longer felt like hers and how rebuilding it helped her reconnect with her voice and her values. She also shares how her role evolved from handling every task herself to offering strategy and coaching in a way that supports clients without stretching her thin. Their conversation explores the reality of building a small team, the relief that comes with delegation, and the steady sense of direction that grows when you surround yourself with a community that understands the challenges of running a business.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introduction to Shane Shaps and Big Voice Social03:09 The Turning Point That Sparked a Rebrand06:48 How Big Voice Social Evolved Its Services08:47 Building a Flexible Team as a Small Business Owner12:01 Marketing Strategies That Actually Supported Growth14:54 Launching a Podcast as a Brand-Building Tool21:06 Shane's Advice for Small Business OwnersConnect with Shane Shaps:Follow Shane on InstagramLinks:Subscribe to The FoundHer FilesFollow Dear FoundHer on InstagramPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Why do some recruiters struggle for traction while others build demand engines that bring clients to them? My guest, Tom Froggatt, made that shift after three days of calling 600 people with no results. Tom is the founder of Singular, a biotech search firm and one of Europe's leading specialists. Six months after launching the business, he hit a breaking point that changed everything. Instead of doubling down on cold calls, Tom built a system that creates predictable client demand. Today, a £4,000 campaign can generate £55,000 in revenue, and his business runs on consistent inbound opportunities. In this conversation, Tom explains how he replaced cold outreach with a system, how he uses content and insight reports to convert strangers into six figure clients, and why the volume required for effective marketing is far higher than most recruiters expect. In this episode, you'll discover Why Tom realised he did not have a BD problem but a systems problem How three days of rejection created a turning point How podcasting connected him with senior biotech leaders Why each client is worth £55,000 in 12 months How his insight report converts inbound retained work Why most recruiters underestimate the required volume How thinking like a tech founder beats thinking like a traditional recruiter Episode Highlights [6:44] Starting Singular in a windowless office and the six-month reality check [19:16] Three days, 600 calls, zero results. The moment everything changed [21:22] Launching "Careers in Discovery" and building relationships with senior biotech leaders [22:05] The podcast guest who walked Tom straight to HR and introduced him on the spot [36:44] The mindset shift from "winning clients" to building revenue-generating systems [42:16] Why each client is worth £55,000 in 12 months and what that means for ad spend [49:30] The exact funnel. Free insight reports that convert strangers into six-figure partnerships [54:14] Why Tom gives away £2,500 worth of market data for free and why it works [58:47] How to identify real client pain points without guessing [1:03:09] Why reverse engineering problems to fit your service always fails [1:10:27] The volume truth. Why 200 outreach attempts are not nearly enough If you want to build predictable client demand without relying on cold outreach, this episode will show you how. Guest Bio Tom Froggatt is the founder of Singular, a biotech search and talent company specialising in early drug discovery roles across Europe. Before Singular, Tom spent ten years at S3, where he opened their New York office at age 25. He is also the host of the Careers in Discovery podcast with more than 300 episodes.

Pod Crashing episode 412 with Maggie Robinson Katz from the podcast Hands Tied BBC Studios and iHeartPodcasts announced that they have partnered for the first time on a new original true-crime podcast - Hands Tied.The eight-episode series is presented by the award-winning journalist Maggie Robinson Katz (Scamtown, Mafia Tapes) and co-produced by BBC Studios and iHeartPodcasts. Launching on August 6th, episodes will be released weekly and will be available globally on iHeartRadio and wherever you get your podcasts. In "Hands Tied," listeners will be introduced to Lizz Melgar Rose who went from being interested in true crime to living it. In 2012 relatives found Lizz's mother Sandy Melgar shut in a closet, her hands bound behind her back, and her father Jim Melgar murdered. This awful tragedy was also a mystery and one Lizz was determined to solve using her lifelong interest in true crime as a guide. Podcast host Maggie Robinson Katz delves deep inside the police investigation, the courtroom where the drama unfolded as the jury wrestled with this truly shocking crime, and inside Lizz's own subsequent battle for answers - and for justice. Because there is one thing Lizz is convinced of, the wrong person is in prison for her father's murder. Maggie Robinson Katz said: "Though 'Hands Tied' is an examination into the shocking murder of Jim Melgar, my hope is that it transcends the typical true crime tropes and listeners connect with the human story at its core. The story of a daughter, and her tireless quest for answers and justice. I am grateful to Lizz for trusting us with her story - and her strength to continue her pursuit of justice. I am also grateful to BBC Studios and iHeart for joining forces with me to explore this case." Rich Knight, Director of Audio at BBC Studios, said: "At the heart of this extraordinary series is a violent crime and a search for answers. I'm grateful to our colleagues at iHeart for working with us to realise this story. And of course, I'm grateful to Lizz for letting us into her life. I hope listeners will be as moved by her fortitude as we were." Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts, said: "We are excited to debut 'Hands Tied' with BBC Studios and help amplify the unbelievable details of a case that led to Sandy Melgar's conviction. Listeners everywhere will instantly become invested in Lizz's search for answers and feel her frustration as she comes up against a system she believes has failed her and her family, again and again." Hands Tied is a BBC Studios production which is co-produced and distributed by iHeartPodcasts. The eight-episode series (plus two bonuses) is hosted by Maggie Robinson Katz and was produced by Maggie Latham and Executive Produced by Joe Kent for BBC Studios, and Cristina Everett for iHeartPodcasts. The trailer for the original true-crime podcast is available to listen to now and the series launches on Wednesday, August 6 globally and can be listened to wherever you access your podcasts. Episodes available here: Https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/hands-tied/id1829911900    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down with entrepreneur and Outdoor Voices founder, Ty Haney, to unpack her unconventional path from Boulder athlete to building one of the most influential activewear brands of the last decade. Ty shares how her early frustration with performance-only athletic wear sparked the idea for Outdoor Voices, the scrappy early days of community events and recreational movement, and what it was really like scaling the business to $100M as a first-time founder. We dive into the realities of fast growth—from hiring the right people to navigating growing pains—as well as the emotional complexity of leaving the company she built and later returning under new constraints. Ty also opens up about launching TYB, her community-commerce platform now powering loyalty for 250 brands, how she balances running multiple ventures, and the one thing she refuses to compromise on no matter what: excellent product. Insightful, candid, and packed with lessons on community-led growth, founder resilience, and staying immersed in your craft, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone building a brand, leading a team, or redefining what it means to “try your best.” Enjoy!To connect with Tyler Haney on Instagram, click HERE.To check out TyB on Instagram, click HERE.To check out Outdoor Voices, click HERE.To check out Joggy Energy, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Instagram, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Tiktok, click HERE.To learn more about Arrae, click HERE.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives deep into strategies for achieving consistent sales in your online business without falling into the launch-only trap. She shares her own experience, highlighting the importance of combining evergreen funnels with live launching to avoid burnout and feast-or-famine cycles.

Engineers endured intense 100-hour weeks handling complex wiring and propulsion plumbing. The subsequent road trip from Texas to Florida was arduous, including crashing the rocket's interstage into a building.

#677 What happens when a 25-year hospitality veteran gets furloughed during COVID and finally goes all-in on the dream he's been talking about for years? You get Catalyst Hot Dogs — a Jersey-style hot dog joint taking the DMV by storm! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with founder Chris Van Jura, who shares how he launched during the pandemic with a GoFundMe, a beat-up cart discovered in a church parking lot, and an all-beef hot dog so good, it became the heart of his brand. Chris breaks down how he scaled from one cart outside a Home Depot to multiple trailers, a staff, university partnerships, and a soon-to-open brick-and-mortar location. From sourcing premium franks to mastering social media marketing (and settling whether a hot dog is a sandwich), this is the real, gritty journey of turning a simple idea into a thriving business — one dog at a time! What we discuss with Chris: + Launching Catalyst during COVID + Finding the first hot dog cart + Using GoFundMe to raise capital + Choosing high-quality, all-beef dogs + Scaling from one cart to multiple trailers + University of Maryland partnership + Social media as the main marketing engine + The “hot dog is a sandwich” debate + Plans for a brick-and-mortar location + Advice for aspiring food cart entrepreneurs Thank you, Chris!

Send us a textBrandon Downer: How Pink's Window Cleaning Franchise Turned Home Services Into Hospitality | The Franchise Insiders PodcastDiscover how Brandon Downer built Pink's Window Cleaning from a neighborhood observation into a thriving home services franchise that treats customers like guests and technicians like hospitality professionals.From Layoffs to Launching a Home Service FranchiseAfter two layoffs, Brandon Downer and his partner Carter spotted an opportunity during a neighborhood walk: local service trucks everywhere, but zero customer experience. They launched Pink's Window Cleaning with a bold premise—apply hospitality principles to blue-collar work.Why Most Window Cleaning Services Fail Customers (And How Pink's Solves It)Homeowners face recurring problems: no-shows, handwritten quotes, surprise pricing, and crews that don't respect their property. Pink's redesigned the entire experience: online scheduling, upfront pricing, card-on-file payments, branded uniforms, and a promise to leave every property better than they found it.The Pink's Franchise Playbook: Culture, Systems, and ScalabilityLearn why Pink's hires baristas and hospitality workers (not just window cleaners), how technology drives trust and recurring revenue, and why a memorable brand color beats a generic business name. Brandon shares the franchise growth strategy: launch timing by market seasonality, building routes that compound, and creating exit opportunities for owners.Blue-Collar Franchise Opportunities and AI-Resistant BusinessesWe explore why service-based franchises offer real wealth-building paths for younger entrepreneurs—hands-on MBAs that create jobs, build leadership skills, and generate recurring revenue streams that boost business valuation.Ready to Explore Franchise Ownership?Whether you're considering a home services franchise, window cleaning business, or other blue-collar opportunities, visit thefranchiseinsiders.com to take our 3-minute franchise matching assessment.

Launching a men's Bible study? The first meeting sets the tone—and most guys underestimate how much it matters. In this session, Vince Miller walks you through the exact 5-step format he's used for decades to launch strong, intentional, Christ-centered first meetings that build trust and ignite brotherhood. You'll learn: ✔️ How atmosphere speaks before you ever open your mouth ✔️ Why preparation communicates value and safety ✔️ How to lead prayer and purpose with clarity—not pressure ✔️ The secret to building fast trust through story-sharing ✔️ How to cast vision without selling or hyping ✔️ Why a strong closing prayer seals the moment and sets direction Whether you're meeting in a church classroom, a garage with a space heater, or your living room—this format works anywhere. If you can follow five steps, you can lead a fantastic first meeting. REFLECTION + SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What's one first impression you've had walking into a room that shaped how you engaged? 2. Which part of prepping the room do you think communicates the most value to men? 3. How does starting with a short, intentional prayer shape the tone of a meeting? 4. Why do men need to hear a clear "why" before they engage the "what"? 5. When have you seen vulnerability build trust in a group? 6. Which type of men are hardest for you to lead—talkers or quiet guys? Why? 7. How can you guide story-sharing without making it feel forced or clinical? 8. What vision do you feel called to cast for the men you're leading? 9. Why is a closing prayer powerful, even when it's short? 10. What step from this format do you need to grow most in before leading your next meeting?

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.
