Faith Has Only Helped My Business | Tim Busch

What happens when a business leader is not afraid to make his faith known? Tim Busch has built a career across hospitality, law, wine, and professional sports, including his involvement with the Vegas Golden Knights. Along the way, he has remained open about his Catholic faith and says it has only helped him in business. In this episode of the Eleven Talents Podcast, Tim joins Legatus President Stephen Henley to discuss how his faith influences the way he leads, makes decisions, and responds to the responsibilities that come with success. He also talks about Pacific Hospitality Group, the Napa Institute, Catholic education, evangelization, and why business leaders should think beyond profit. For Tim, faith is not separate from his work. It is at the heart of how he lives and leads. https://napa-institute.org/ https://trinitascellars.com/ https://business.catholic.edu/

Is There a Woman in Da Vinci's Last Supper? | Liz Lev Explains

Stephen Henley sits down with Dr. Elizabeth “Liz” Lev, a Rome-based art historian, author, professor, Vatican Museums consultant, and renowned guide [https://www.lizlevtours.com/] for world leaders, actors, filmmakers, and cultural figures visiting the churches, museums, and sacred art of Rome. For more than 25 years, Liz has helped people encounter the beauty, history, and faith behind the Eternal City. Her expertise has also led her to consult with major cultural figures including Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, Kevin James, and others seeking to better understand Catholic history, the Vatican, and the stories behind some of the world’s most famous works of art. Together, Stephen and Liz explore the truth behind Da Vinci’s Last Supper, why beauty matters in an efficiency-driven culture, and what Catholic business leaders can learn from sacred art, reflection, and wonder. For CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs, this conversation is a reminder that beauty is not decoration; it's formation. It shapes how we see, how we lead, and how we build cultures worthy of the human person.
