Fraternity & Friends in Low Places | Rich Todd | Episode #228
21m

Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome back Rich Todd, the dynamic

co-founder of Innovest, for a conversation that spans from karaoke ballads and

Catholic hot tubs to the power of spiritual brotherhood. Rich shares how his

involvement in the Catholic CEOs group, Legatus, completely reshaped his life

and his family’s trajectory, revealing the quiet power of friendship and faith.

🪑 Key Moments:

✅ Rich shares how Legatus became more than just a networking

group — it’s a spiritual formation that shaped his family and career.

✅ The BeatiDudes discover how Rich and his wife Joanie have

become powerful mentors in their community, drawing others closer to the faith.


✅ A lively discussion about the role of confession, daily

Rosary, and Eucharistic adoration in Rich’s life (and in the corporate world!).


✅ Rich gives a great endorsement for “Endow,” a group for

Catholic women that helped his wife Joanie deepen her faith.


✅ The Dudes riff on karaoke, steak dinners, and who really

rules the Denver chapter!


💡 Episode Highlights:


• Rich’s personal witness: “We didn’t consciously decide to

change — it just happened through amazing people around us.”


• How spiritual formation and “the average of your five

closest friends” go hand-in-hand.


• Paul’s reminder: “We’re called to have a well-formed

conscience, which sometimes means having friends who call you higher.”


• Jeff’s karaoke debut and the Dudes’ comedic banter about

the real reason Paul always looks so judgy.


🙏 Episode Challenge:


Who are your five closest friends, and how are they shaping

your faith journey? Take a moment this week to thank them, pray for them, and

be that same light for someone else.
