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.
