The greatest entrepreneurs in history didn't just build businesses. They built their lives on a foundation that could never be shaken.

Today, our world tells us to chase money, success, followers, and recognition. Yet anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness continue to grow. Why? Because success was never meant to replace God.

In this powerful conversation with Deacon Cory, we discuss the one thing every entrepreneur needs but so few prioritize: a deep relationship with Jesus Christ through the Catholic faith.

We talk about what it means to trust God when business is uncertain, how faith shapes your decisions, why integrity matters more than profit, and how true leadership begins by serving others. We also discuss how prayer, the sacraments, and living a Christ-centered life can give you the strength to face every challenge with courage and hope.

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than building wealth, this episode is for you.

If you've been away from the Church, this is your invitation to come home.

If you've never explored Catholicism, this is your opportunity to discover the faith that has transformed millions of lives for over 2,000 years.

Your business can change your family's future.

But only Christ can change your eternity.

No matter where you are in life, God is calling you to something greater than success. He is calling you to holiness, purpose, and a life filled with peace that no amount of money can ever buy.

Watch this episode with an open heart. It may be the conversation that changes the direction of your life.

May God bless you, your family, and your business.

John McCarthy is the embodiment of grit, perseverance, and unwavering belief. Born and raised in the tough neighborhoods of Philadelphia, McCarthy grew up with a dream that seemed out of reach for most kids in his city—to become a professional soccer player. But through sheer hard work and relentless drive, he carved out a path few dared to chase.

Starting with local clubs and high school leagues, McCarthy made a name for himself early with his fearless goalkeeping, sharp reflexes, and natural leadership. His journey took him through collegiate soccer and the USL before he earned his shot in Major League Soccer—a league where dreams are tested and only the toughest survive.

He didn’t just survive. He won.

McCarthy is now a 2x MLS Cup Champion, having played a pivotal role in some of the most thrilling matches in recent MLS history. He’s earned a reputation for stepping up in the biggest moments—making clutch saves under pressure and proving that underdogs can rise to the top.

Today, John McCarthy stands as the starting goalkeeper for LA Galaxy, one of the league’s most storied franchises. On and off the field, he represents resilience, loyalty to his roots, and the unshakable belief that where you come from doesn’t define how far you can go.
