Can Business Leadership be a VOCATION? | John Cannon, SENT Ventures | Episode #012
The BeatiDudes
www.TheBeatiDudes.com The BeatiDudes welcome back John Cannon, Founder of SENT Ventures, for this bonus episode. After early career success, John joined the Carmelite order and lived a contemplative, cloistered life of prayer and study. While researching church renewal movements, John realized that one of the most powerful tools for renewal is entrepreneurship. This led John to discern out of the monastery and into the business world to build a community that supports Catholic entrepreneurs and builders. In this episode, the Dudes reflect on the components of authentic Christian fraternity before diving into a discussion on the social teachings of the Church for business. Many of the SENT Ventures members are leading by or seeking to learn how to infuse dignity, solidarity, justice, and just wages into their organizations. During the "Blessed are the Joke Makers" game, John joins the BeatiDudes in answering the question "_________ led me to _________" as a fire and brimstone preacher. You won't want to miss his surprising answer. The show is closed out with another "reverse Simpsons" moment during which the Dudes play a classic improv game with a new name, "Doctor of The Church Know-It-All."
