In this episode of the Catholic Sportsman Show, join us as we talk to Hugh Blane, founder, and president of Claris Consulting. Hugh talks about his sports beginnings in Scotland and gives us a brief explanation of Ignatian spirituality and how it affects his life, family, and career. He explains what the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:3-12 have to do with running a successful business. Learn why the phrases Love Deeply, Learn Daily, and Lead Boldly are important in his life. Hugh encourages listeners to become strong, faithful people as he shares heartfelt stories that impacted his life and faith. He challenges us all to grow spiritually so we are equipped to help others do the same. Hugh’s interview can be summed up in this quote from Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

In a world where stadiums and sanctuaries often feel miles apart, The Catholic Sportsman Show Podcast finds the profound connection between them. Hosts Paul Michelini and Randy Laya, alongside the enduring memory of co-founder Jeff Corrigan, engage in thoughtful conversations that explore how the drama, discipline, and community found in sports intersect with a lived Catholic faith. This isn't just a post-game analysis; it's a deeper look at the stories, history, and personalities within athletics, examining them through a spiritual lens. You'll hear discussions that are as likely to delve into the theological virtues demonstrated on the field as they are to appreciate a great historical moment in sport. Recorded within The Diocese of Orange, California, the podcast brings on guests who share this unique perspective, creating dialogues that are both topical and timeless. Whether reflecting on loss, leadership, or pure athletic joy, Paul and Randy offer a space where the universal language of games meets the enduring questions of faith, culture, and society. Tune in for a series that celebrates the athlete's journey while thoughtfully considering its place within a broader spiritual life.
