Hey everyone! Silas here. We’re back with another incredible pod discussion.
Before we start, please pray for the families of the shooting yesterday in Minnesota.
Announcements:
📚 Have you collected your free book yet? I bought 200 copies of Hormozi’s new book, $100m Money Models. All existing & new paid members of Catholic Founders get a free copy ($30 value) (note: shipping not included). — Sign up today to get your copy!
Yesterday we had a great Catholic Founders Guild event. If you’re a paid sub and missed it, we’ll have the recording + notes from the discussion posted soon. Note: it’s all advice on how to save money on taxes. We kept it simple so even if you’re a newbie, you can understand.
☕ Book Club for Catholic entrepreneurs: I’m hosting a book club for Catholic biz owners. The first book is The Pope & The CEO by Andreas Widmer (former bodyguard of Pope St. JPII). On Sep 12th, we’re doing a call with the author to discuss the book. All are welcome — join here.
As leaders of our companies, we have a responsibility to hone our skills and invest in ourselves. As Catholics, we understand that this means more than just basic skills to be good at business.
Good actions come from practicing doing good things. We call these virtues.
So, we wanted to bring on an expert in habit building, Drago — the Co-Founder of Holy Habits.
So we are discussing how to build habits, the three levels of the spiritual life, and the three types of entrepreneurs. Plus, how those three types correspond to the levels of the spiritual life.
Listen the whole way through for the maximum benefit!

Hire Talent that Actually Cares About Your Mission with Verso Jobs.
The team at VersoJobs.com has built a remarkable gamified and data-driven job platform to help you hire people who actually share your mission and values.
The best part, it's built by Catholics.
Whether you're hiring for your startup, school, parish, or nonprofit — Verso makes it easy to find mission-aligned talent ready to build the Kingdom.
Set Triggers That Will Help You Remember to Practice Your Habit
Habits are easiest to build when we have a nice trigger to get us started. On your own, or with the use of the Holy Habits app, build that trigger and start to flex that virtue muscle. It will grow.
On top of this, keep in mind the weight of responsibility that you have as a business owner. You’re going to be responsible for the financial well-being of potentially thousands of employees. Building strong virtues will help you do that better and weather the tough times. That I can guarantee you.

"It's like the difference between Planet Fitness and Gold's Gym, when you know what you're trying to go after and you have clear targets and goals in mind." — Drago
"People are tired of the nihilistic, hopeless prescription of meaninglessness that the side has to offer." — Drago
"God wants to be the shepherd and we're the sheep and the sheep have no clue what the next three, four steps are. It's like one step at a time." — Drago
"We also have a unique opportunity that others don't have to exercise the virtues... as an entrepreneur." — Drago
"Just treat your people with love... Have their interest in mind and they're not going to leave you." — Drago

The Catholic Founders Guild is a vetted group of Catholic entreprenuers who are building businesses with their faith at the heart of what they do.
Some are building ‘Catholic’ products. Most are building normal businesses. We’ve got tech founders. Agency owners. Mom & Pop. E-commerce. And some people who bought a business.

You are the average of the 5 people you hang out with most. Don’t you want that to describe other Catholic founders?
It’s only $10/month or $100/year (for now)
Discussion about this video
Catholic Founders
Catholic Founders is where Catholic Entrepreneurs and Business Owners go to learn how to integrate their faith into every aspect of how they run their business and life as a Catholic AND as a Founder.
In modern times, it's become more unclear than ever how to unite our faith with our work. It's even harder when you run a business. However, just as there is a holy way to live, there is a holy way to build and run our businesses.
Fundamentally, our skills were given to us by God so that we may become instruments of His will. These skills are not for our own use. Therefore, to waste or misuse them is a grave thing. This entire project is born out of a deep belief in this truth.
