Ep.88 - Running Your Business Like a Saint with Catholic Founders' Silas Mähner | Catholic Entrepreneurship | Faith-Based Business | Building God's Kingdom

Virtuous Leaders with Dr. Johann D'Souza

Silas Mähner, founder of Catholic Founders, reveals how to run your business as if a saint was the CEO. After wondering "What would it look like if Jesus ran a company?" in 2019, Silas launched a movement helping Catholic entrepreneurs lean into their calling as co-creators while proclaiming the Gospel through business success. Top 5 Insights from Silas Mähner • Catholic millionaires and billionaires must stop hiding their success, young men need holy examples, not just Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos as role models • "We can't understand our unique calling as entrepreneurs without making space for silence so God can speak to us" • Entrepreneurship is like jumping out a window repeatedly until you trust God will catch you, it's a mechanism to deepen faith • The circumstances of your birth, geography, and encounters are a divinely crafted "movie set" where you're an independent actor with a divine script • Even making less money as an entrepreneur is worth it, because you can't quantify the value of attending daily Mass and being present for your family What You'll Learn: * Why separation of church and business is impossible (your decisions have eternal consequences) * How Wall Street Catholics convinced Silas to attend daily Mass * The real reason ambitious Catholics underestimate what they can achieve * Why Joseph of Arimathea is the perfect patron for wealthy Catholics Connect with Dr. Johann D'Souza Clinical Psychologist & Host My practice: https://www.valuesfirsttherapy.com/ My collective: https://www.valuesfirstcollective.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanndsouza/ X: https://x.com/drjohanndsouza Substack: https://drjohanndsouza.substack.com/ Connect with Silas Mähner Founder, Entrepreneur & Podcast Host Catholic Founders: https://www.catholicfounders.com/ To pay the bills: ErthTech Talent: https://www.linkedin.com/in/silasmahner/ / https://www.erthtechtalent.com/ The Inner Game of Learning: https://silas.substack.com/  CleanTechies Podcast: https://cleantechies.substack.com/ If you're a Catholic frustrated with corporate life or wondering if God is calling you to entrepreneurship, this episode reveals why trusting Him with your business might be the greatest act of faith you'll ever make. #CatholicFounders #ChristianEntrepreneur #FaithAndBusiness #CatholicBusiness #VirtuousLeaders #SilasMahner #BusinessMinistry #OpusDei #CatholicPodcast
