There is no better way to launch Season 6 of The BeatiDudes than to spend quality time at the tiny table with our longtime friend, youth minister, camp director, and culture-builder, John Egan.

This episode blends laughter, faith, and leadership lessons as John shares his winding journey from childhood commercials in New York, seminary life, youth ministry, The Pines Catholic Camp, and eventually into executive leadership at Lucid Private Offices. Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and John explore:

• John’s childhood modeling gigs, his quick detour through seminary, and how ministry prepared him for business leadership.

• Years spent at The Pines Catholic Camp, living faith with family and showing young people what authentic Catholic marriage looks like.

• Faith in the Secular Workplace: How to bring joy, prayer, and servant leadership into a for-profit setting without compromise.

• Culture That Sticks: Building a team where people *want* to come to work

• Humor Meets Holiness: From Ghostbusters nicknames to “snap snap snap” applause, the BeatiDudes keep the joy flowing while grounding the conversation in Christ and community.

John’s story reminds us that where you work matters, not just for productivity but for people. Whether leading at camp, selling cars with integrity, or shaping culture in business, he models how faith and joy overflow when Christ is the true foundation.
