In this soul-stirring episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Mike Van Pelt - faith-forward entrepreneur, bestselling author, and host of The TrueMan Podcast - to talk about the deeper mission behind coaching and what it really takes to build a business that aligns with your calling.
Mike’s journey is anything but typical. After years of wrestling with identity, career uncertainty, and spiritual surrender, he found clarity not in chasing the hustle - but in submitting to something greater than himself.
They unpack the raw truth about coaching as a calling (not a shortcut), how men can drop the masks and reclaim their heart, and why asking for help might be the boldest move you'll ever make in business and life.
⚡ Whether you're starting your practice, rebranding your message, or leading a movement, this episode will help you:
-
Balance faith, business, and service without burning out
-
Get out of your head and into your heart as a coach
-
Move from confusion to clarity through mentorship and surrender

-
Turn your personal story into a platform for impact
Mike also shares his keynote, The Power of Asking for Help - a call to action for men who want to lead from truth, not ego.

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.
