In this episode of 757 Business Spotlight, host Joe Singleton speaks with Chris Jones of BBSI about what it really takes to grow a business sustainably.

The conversation covers BBSI’s hands-on approach to HR, payroll, risk management, and compliance, how outsourcing differs from traditional in-house models, and why growth is often uncomfortable but necessary. Chris also addresses common misconceptions about outsourced HR, explains BBSI’s pricing and value model, and shares how local business communities benefit from long-term advisory partnerships.

This episode is ideal for business owners looking to scale with fewer headaches, clearer structure, and stronger support.

Music can shape confidence, discipline, teamwork, and opportunity for young people. In this episode, I speak with Soundscapes, a nonprofit using music education as a powerful tool to transform the lives of children across the Peninsula. We explore how the program began, why music is such an effective vehicle for development, and what a typical day looks like for students in Soundscapes’ immersive programs.

We also discuss the measurable impact on academics, behavior, and life skills, the role of community support in sustaining free programming, and how listeners can get involved. Soundscapes shares the challenges they have overcome, clears up common misconceptions, and explains why investing in music education creates long-term value for families and communities. We end with a look at their future vision and the message they want every listener to take away.
