The Virtue of Business
Many years ago, I discovered that business is fun. Of course, my dad contributed to this way of thinking.

That headline got me thinking… regardless of the incentives, how should Catholics regard debt? It also hit me – we need [...]
The Secret of Successful Teams – Humility
At Home “We’re taking over!” My eight year old son David stood in the kitchen gloating, with arms stretched out in jubilation.
