Why are some Protestants drawn toward Roman Catholicism—and how should we think about the “one true church”? In this episode, Mark Vance launches a five-part series on the nature of the church, explaining why he remains a Protestant while seeking to speak with both clarity and charity about Catholicism.Mark walks through why historical rootedness feels especially compelling in shaky cultural moments, how true Christianity exists within the Roman Catholic Church, and yet why he believes certain teachings and practices obscure the gospel. He also introduces the four major reasons he's a Protestant: the nature of the true church, the history of the church, the question of authority, and the clarity of the gospel—setting the stage for the rest of the series.Episode Highlights:00:00 — Launching a five-part series: “Why Protestantism?” and why people are asking about Catholicism03:19 — True Christianity within Catholicism—and how some teachings can obscure the gospel08:55 — Overview of the four major reasons Mark remains a Protestant11:25 — The Protestant view of the “one true church” and the visible/invisible church distinction17:43 — How the Roman Catholic Church understands itself as the one true church (one, holy, catholic, apostolic)22:51 — Protestantism as a renewal movement within the one true church, not a competing “true church”24:19 — Are all Catholics saved?

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.

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.

Pranav Dalal is the visionary Founder and CEO of Office Beacon, a global outsourcing powerhouse with over 5,500 employees. Launching the business in 2000 after the dot-com crash, Pranav has expanded operations from India to the Philippines, Mexico, and South Africa, providing over 150 different services to clients worldwide. As a single father, he is actively building a multi-generational family business, with his children joining the ranks to learn the industry from the ground up. Pranav is also a forward-thinker who leverages unique partnerships with the NFL and SoFi Stadium to drive business growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Pranav Dalal to discuss his 25-year journey of building a truly global enterprise. Pranav shares the origin story of shifting from the tech sector to B2B services and how he strategically scaled Office Beacon across multiple continents. We explore how he balances running a massive remote organization using systems like EOS and the "generational compact" he has established with his children. Pranav also offers fascinating insights into his unique sports marketing partnerships, his aggressive adoption of AI to disrupt his own business model, and the ancestral values that guide his leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Generational Compact: Pranav built Office Beacon with the specific intent of creating a multi-generational legacy. His children joined the business not through nepotism, but by starting at entry-level positions to learn humility and hard work.Scaling with EOS: Managing 5,500 employees remotely requires discipline. Pranav utilizes the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) five levels deep to ensure core values and goals are cascaded effectively across global teams.Innovative Partnerships: Moving beyond traditional marketing, Office Beacon holds exclusive partnerships with SoFi Stadium and the NFL Alumni Association, using stadium suites for daily business networking rather than just game-day entertainment.Disrupt or Be Disrupted: Pranav views himself as the "Chief Disruption Officer." He is heavily investing in AI education and implementation for 2026, believing that if he doesn't disrupt his own business model, a competitor will.Trust But Verify: A core leadership lesson Pranav instills in his children and team is the concept of "trust but verify"—maintaining faith in people while ensuring details and execution are validated to prevent costly mistakes.Ancestral DNA: Pranav reconnected with his heritage, discovering that his surname "Dalal" means "broker" in Persian/Hindi, which reinforced his belief that business and entrepreneurship are embedded in his family's DNA.QUOTES"My whole goal was to create a multi-generational family business.""If we're not disrupting ourselves, someone's going to disrupt you.""I realized that it was a very doable thing... that there are these family legacies out there in business that go back hundreds of years.""They fail, feel a sense of ownership even though I'm the owner... their mindset of being accountable is incredible.""I'm in the people business, and I should be the first one to say, 'Wow, I'm scared of AI,' but I'm embracing it a thousand percent."Connect and learn more about Pranav Dalal and Office Beacon: Pranav Dalal's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pranavdalal/Office Beacon Website: https://www.officebeacon.com/  Email for inquiries: sales@officebeacon.comIf you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

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. Tina provides actionable advice on building evergreen offers, optimizing funnels, leveraging content, and maintaining authentic selling, all designed to help listeners create sustainable, scalable revenue year-round. Key Topics Covered The drawbacks of relying solely on live launches Evergreen funnels and systems for consistent weekly sales Monthly recurring revenue from memberships and masterminds The importance of lead generation, and how to grow your email list Creating compelling lead magnets and testing for conversions Building and optimizing automated email sequences for follow-up sales Organic growth vs. paid ads and which is right for your business stage Using weekly content (like podcasting) and soft selling in your regular output Strategic bonuses and flash sales to drive urgency for evergreen programs Incorporating live touchpoints into evergreen programs for increased results and connection Tracking key metrics to tweak and optimize your business systems Actionable Takeaways: Build out an evergreen funnel for your signature offer that's available year-round. Create high-value lead magnets and test regularly for the best conversions. Maintain a consistent lead generation engine with weekly content (podcasts, emails, Instagram, etc.). Optimize your automated email sequences—many evergreen sales happen in the follow-up! Consider strategic use of paid ads (especially if starting out) vs. organic growth. Offer bonuses or limited-time perks to create urgency for evergreen sales. Add live Q&A or touchpoint sessions as value-adds to evergreen programs. Track key data weekly (leads, conversions, email performance, etc.) to guide business decisions. Use soft but clear calls to action in all content; don't hide your offers. By using evergreen funnels, high-value content, and strategic live touchpoints, you can create consistent, year-round revenue without the stress of launch-only sales.

Developing and Launching the First Falcon 9. Eric Berger recounts the difficult summer of 2009 preparing the first Falcon 9 booster, featuring nine Merlin engines housed in an octagonal web. 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. Despite severe issues, like storm-fried antennas, an impatient Elon Musk pushed for a successful launch in June 2010, securing potential NASA contracts. Guest: Eric Berger.

#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.

We are dropping in briefly with an episode spanning six months in the life of Trumpet soloist and principal of Britten Sinfonia, Imogen Whitehead.Part one of this pod was recorded back in May when Imogen was launching her debut album Connection with a concert at St Martin in the Fields. We chatted about some of the tracks - including her work with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Pippa Grange and with friend of TIAB Charlotte Harding.Imogen also discusses the hazardous filming of a music video and the level of work that goes into singlehandedly releasing and promoting an album…turns out it's quite a lot!
