What does being a fan of women's sports and collecting women's sports cards mean to you?
8:24
I can remember a few years ago when I was the head coach of a varsity girls basketball team.
8:32
And we went and I got to know, obviously, the boys coach pretty well through that time.
8:38
And I said, you know what, we need to have like a night where we bring both teams together on the court and kind of introduce them to the fans.
8:46
And in the process of that, you know, have some competitions between the boys and the girls.
8:52
And, you know, we did some shooting competitions and some other things and just obviously having fun.
8:59
But after that night, I remember telling the girls like what you just did because they were super competitive as far as against the boys.

8:42
Yeah.

Um, all these sort of problems that get people thinking short-term about solving problems, that, um, you know, sort of tend toward not caring for the things they're doing as well and acting selfishly or in their own self-interest.
8:55
Um, all hinges on that being flipped backwards, which is what the brilliant insight of the church is and, and Catholic soc- Catholic social teaching.
9:03
Um, and so but for us, it was kind of like I'm looking at those sort of problems and, and realizing, and I saw it in my workplaces I was in before I started my own company, and it was the same sort of thing you're describing where it's like great people.
9:17
You know, I love my team.
9:18
We were good friends.
9:19
We did hard things together.

Yeah.
7:42
But how do you see, in your own coming to realize what the church is teaching in regards to business, how have you seen that change? or I guess maybe a better way to ask the question was that turn to the subject of work hard to say like, no, what my mission here is, is, is
8:02
you first of all.
8:04
Yeah.
8:04
That's a great question.
8:05
I think.
8:06
And, and what I found kind of, I approached that from a very practical experience.
8:12
Yeah.
