About this episode
Men, do you ever feel like your faith and career are worlds apart? What if succeeding in business could actually lead you to sainthood? In this episode of The Manly Catholic, I talk with Joe Valentic, Catholic entrepreneur and author, about blending professional ambition with spiritual growth. Joe shares his journey from cradle Catholic to faith-integrated leader, revealing how saints like St. Josemaria Escriva inspired him to view work as a path to holiness. We explore practical ways to invite God into your daily grind, from strategic prayer to discerning your gifts. As men called to lead, Joe challenges you to pray a 54-day novena to St. Raphael the Archangel for business discernment—starting today, even if you're unsure what to ask. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or blue-collar worker, this conversation equips you to build success that honors God, strengthens your family, and advances the Church. Hit play to transform how you approach work and faith.References and Resources:Become a Saint by Succeeding in Business by Joseph ValenticWarrior Prayer Manual by Joseph ValenticCatholiccurator.comSix Types of Working GeniusMany Parts MinistriesSENT VenturesTepeyac Leadership InitiativeOur Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament ApostolatePowerful Quotes"Everything in our life needs to begin, continue and end with prayer if we're going to have any chance of being successful either in sainthood or in business." – Joe ValenticSend us a text
