Global executive and Scouting America leader Sean Magennis joins the tiny table to share how a life of worldwide leadership, deep friendship, and renewed faith has led him right back to serving young people. Hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein walk with Sean through his years activating communities around the globe through YPO and Tiger 21, his time living and worshiping in places like Dubai, India, and Singapore, and his powerful experiences of the Church in many languages and cultures. Along the way, Sean reflects on the legacy of his late friend Rick Sapio, the grace of standing at his funeral and graveside, and how faith can remain an anchor even when our certainties and perspectives shift over time. Now serving as an executive at Scouting America, Sean explains why he believes scouting is one of the most important youth movements in the world, especially because it keeps God at the center of its mission. He shares how the Scout Oath, the EDGE method of learning, and the wood badge formation are shaping kids into articulate, grounded leaders who know how to serve, collaborate, and persevere. From multicultural outreach and trades training to Pinewood Derby dreams and alumni reengagement, Sean invites listeners to see scouting as a powerful way to invest in the next generation while staying rooted in Catholic faith, authentic fraternity, and a sense of joyful adventure.

Pierre Ferragu returns to the tiny table with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a powerful time of stories, song, and Marian intercession. The conversation circles around Lourdes and Saint Bernadette, beginning with Paul's own pilgrimage during the 150th anniversary of the apparitions. Jeff then shares the deeply moving bond between his son Benny and a little boy named Steven, both battling cancer, and how their stories intersected through a Lourdes healing pilgrimage and a candlelight procession. In the middle of all of this, Pierre helps the Dudes and the audience experience the heart of Bernadette the Musical through a stunning Marian song that leaves the whole table in tears. As Pierre reveals the creative story behind the musical, the Dudes reflect on the mysterious way beauty evangelizes. The song they just heard was written by a composer who does not believe; the French lyrics came from non-religious writers, and yet the result is a profoundly Catholic prayer that points directly to God. Pierre also shares stories of Jewish artists and investors who were deeply touched by Mary and Lourdes, and how this project has become a bridge between believers and nonbelievers in the entertainment world. The episode closes with Pierre praying the Hail Mary in French and the BeatiDudes sending listeners back into the world with renewed trust in the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes and the quiet power of beauty.

Wall Street analyst turned musical producer Pierre Ferragu joins Jeff Schiefelbein, Nick Bezner, and Paul Kolker at the tiny table to share the remarkable story behind Bernadette The Musical, a Broadway-level production about Saint Bernadette of Lourdes that is coming to the United States. Pierre explains how a French stage show rooted in a deeply Catholic story managed to win over a secular French press, and why the life of a humble peasant girl continues to move hearts across cultures and worldviews. From the challenge of translating nuance and wordplay into English to navigating cultural differences between French abstraction and American love for stories that are clearly grounded in the flesh, Pierre gives an inside look at producing a show that stays faithful to history while speaking powerfully to modern audiences. Along the way, the Dudes share the very personal connection Jeff and his family have to Lourdes, unpack Kelsey Grammer’s unexpected role as a producer and champion for the show, and reflect on why live theater can evangelize in ways that streaming content simply cannot. The episode closes with a stunning recording of the song “Why Me,” a cry of humble wonder that resonates with priests, parents, and anyone who has ever asked God why they were chosen for a particular cross or calling. Takeaways 1. The life of Saint Bernadette is universally compelling 2. Translation is more than swapping words 3. Live experiences form hearts in a unique way 4. God uses unlikely people for big missions 5. Beauty can be a gentle path to evangelization Episode Challenge Pray with your own “Why me?” Take ten minutes this week to bring your current calling or cross to the Lord. Ask honestly, “Why me” and then sit in silence, allowing God to remind you that He chooses the small, the weak, and the ordinary on purpose. Offer Him your poverty and ask for the courage of Saint Bernadette. https://www.bernadettethemusical.com/ SUPPORT THE BEATIDUDES https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheBeatiDudes Our Partners:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sock Religious (10% Discount)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Solidarity HealthShare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquinas Wealth Advisors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lucid Private Office⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Divine Comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Undivided Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Follow The BeatiDudes:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BeatiDudes Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Pencil Bureau⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Moore Music⁠

The BeatiDudes are back with round two from Keith Mack, and this conversation is equal parts wild wordplay and serious spiritual challenge. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein invite Keith to unpack how his family lives the faith in different seasons of life, what drew him into daily Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours, and why he believes every man can take one concrete step closer to the Eucharist.

Keith Mack is a man of courage and charity. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein meet Keith at the intersection of grit and grace as he shares his journey from Northwestern ROTC to flying the EA-6B Prowler, then into a vocation of fatherhood, parish service at St. Ann in Coppell, and board leadership with For Us the pro-life nonprofit that places ultrasound machines and now connects centers through a national Guardian Angel tech network. Keith explains why an ultrasound can move hearts to choose life, how Knights of Columbus amplify the mission, and why regular Eucharistic adoration at 5 a.m. keeps him anchored. The crew revisits the Napa Institute connection, laughs through Top Gun references and car-brand confusion, and then receives a surprise on-air gift as Keith presents three custom BeatiDudes rosaries he made and already prayed over with his family. From counsel for seminarians to the beauty of the Latin Mass to building Catholic community in North Texas, this conversation is equal parts joyful fraternity and serious discipleship, ending exactly where it should… in prayer.

Martin Watjen returns for a focused Friday deep dive about hearing God through images, living as protectors who trust the true provider, and slowing down to notice what the Lord is already growing along our path. With Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, Martin shares vivid prayer images, from a narrow mountain trail with fertile soil underfoot to stepping off the moving walkway of routine and into a real relationship with Jesus. The conversation moves from parish missions to family life, from cultural hurry to holy attentiveness, and from fear about provision to freedom in the Father who provides. It is a practical and prayerful halftime talk for any listener who wants faith that forms generations to come.

Before the sun’s up and the coffee’s even finished brewing, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein break the “donut seal” for the first-ever BeatiDudes breakfast episode — and welcome a man whose ministry is anything but half-baked. Guest Martin Watjen, founder of Elevated Parish Missions, joins the table from Steubenville, Ohio, bringing humor, humility, and holy conviction about what it means to help people move faith from head knowledge to heart encounter. The conversation hops from sticky-sprinkle banter and beard jokes to powerful testimony. Martin shares his wild road trip with eight kids, his time working security for the federal government, and his leap of faith when he left a comfortable role at Franciscan University to follow God’s call. Together, the crew explores the real purpose of parish missions: to reawaken a relationship with Jesus in the very pews and neighborhoods where we already live. This episode serves up plenty of caffeine-fueled laughs (including a “Jonah and the donut” moment and a few improv curveballs) but ultimately lands on the deep truth that knowing about Christ isn’t the same as really knowing Christ. Martin’s story and joy remind us that evangelization begins with encounter and maybe a good cup of coffee.

BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome back Dr. Rob McKenna to keep exploring trust, formation, and the quirky on-ramps God uses to shape leaders. Rob shares the origin of the WiLD Leaders washer symbol and a powerful “generational loop” story that began with his parents and found unexpected completion through his trips to India. The Dudes trade formative childhood moments and what they learned about resilience, agency, and identity. Rob explains how a Halo map and a rocket launcher inspired a real-world assessment platform that highlights the metrics that drive behavior and build leaders. The conversation takes many twists and turns, including jaunts into vulnerability, the costs of public leadership, melodic metal, video game soundtracks at the gym, and the hope that sits right on the edge of despair. Along the way, you will catch movie trailers that never were, a Scooby-Doo villain named Mr. Parrot, and a Pac-Man sprint set to Final Fantasy.

This week, The BeatiDudes welcome Dr. Rob McKenna, psychologist and founder of WiLD Leaders, for a fast-moving conversation about trust, leadership, and the kind of vulnerability that builds thriving organizations. Dr. Rob shares how growing up in a very public ministry home shaped his view of leadership, why Psalm 13 is a masterclass in honest prayer, and how “the little i” in WiLD points to whole and intentional leader development. Rob and The BeatiDudes (Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein) unpack the WiLD Trust Index, explore how faith fits into a healthy workplace, and WiLDly launch into a round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers. Along the way, you will hear practical ways to spark better one-on-ones, cultivate humble curiosity, and turn culture talk into culture traction. Dr. Rob also previews his new book, Whole Leaders, WiLD Trust: The Courageous Path to Personal, Relational, and Organizational Change, with a foreword by Stephen M. R. Covey.

The BeatiDudes are back at the Tiny Table with Patrick Thornton from Catholic.Store and Tiny Saints. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein start the episode with playful banter about names, shirts, and biceps, before Patrick shares a heartfelt family story that changed his life. Not too long ago, Patrick’s oldest son survived a serious car accident, spent weeks recovering, and then stood at his wedding after a last-minute clearance from the doctor. The conversation turns to the gift of proximity, since all six Thornton kids now live within fifteen minutes of mom and dad in Irving. Patrick talks about ordinary names that feel wonderfully normal, the joy of grandparent life, and why Texas weather just works. The crew riffs on Tiny Saints as small reminders with a big mission, previews the red tiny table activation for the Catholic Music Initiative concert, and laughs through Catholic dad jokes, Tim Tebow sightings, and a legendary line delivered to Pudge Rodriguez. The show is equal parts comedy and consolation, the kind of episode that leaves you grateful for faith, family, and friends who keep showing up.

BeatiDudes Special Show Alert! Dave Moore returns for a truly special and heartwarming visit. That’s right! The BeatiDudes (Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein) welcome back their longtime friend and collaborator, Dave Moore, the heartbeat behind the Catholic Music Initiative and co-founder of the upcoming benefit concert The More We Are, featuring Dave and Lauren Moore at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas on November 4, 2025. What starts as a fun reflection on the early days of the BeatiDudes quickly turns into a moving testimony of faith, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness. Dave shares the incredible story of his wife’s recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a journey that took Lauren from paralysis and months in the ICU to now preparing for her first public performance since her illness. Through laughter, tears, and a few off-the-wall tangents, the Dudes uncover what it really means to experience John 10:10 — to have life and have it abundantly. The November 4th concert isn’t just another show. It’s a resurrection moment for Lauren, a celebration of hope for the Catholic community, and an invitation to everyone to be part of something bigger than themselves. Attendees will witness Lauren’s return to the stage, hear stories of healing and gratitude, and experience a night that honors faith through beauty and music. All proceeds benefit the Catholic Music Initiative, helping the Moore family continue to compose, record, and lead worship that lifts hearts toward heaven. Whether you attend in person, sponsor a table, or donate from afar, your support fuels this movement of faith and artistry. 🎟 Get your tickets or become a sponsor: catholicmusicinitiative.org 📅 Event: The More We Are – Faith, Hope, and Healing 📍 Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas, TX – November 4, 2025

Patrick Thornton, marketing vet turned Catholic entrepreneur behind Tiny Saints and Catholic.store, joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, at the famous Tiny Table for an episode that’s part improv, part inside-baseball for Catholic media, and all heart. From Chicago-to-Denver-to-Irving life moves and father-of-many/grandpa stories, to the ‘Tiny Saints Show’ (think “Catholic Bluey”) and why quality family content deserves real investment, Patrick keeps a dry wit while the Dudes serve up URL shenanigans, saint jokes, and a game of ‘Blessed Are the Joke Makers.’ The throughline: build excellent, joyful Catholic storytelling that the whole family can love, and help fund the pilot. Call to Action Back the Tiny Saints Show pilot and help bring joyful, excellent Catholic family animation to life. Goal: ~$175,000 for the pilot episode (as of the episode’s recording).

A mission-trip porch in Porto Gorgio, waves breaking in the distance, and a priest listening like a dad - that’s the heart of this Friday episode. Fr. Mark Garrett returns to share how a lifelong attraction to service, prayer, and spiritual fatherhood led him through nine years of seminary and into a vocation that still fills his “father” cup daily. Along the way, the Dudes riff on VHS baptisms, “formators,” the propaedeutic (aka “propaDudes”), and why the Church is very much alive through a new generation of priests. Hosted by Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein - with banter, gratitude, and a sincere invitation to come (back) to the sacraments. Highlights • Spiritual fatherhood on a porch: Fr. Mark’s nightly mission-trip conversations with teens—listening, loving, and walking with them—felt unmistakably “fatherly.” • Seeds of a call: From well-worn First Communion booklets to altar serving and imagining preaching as a teen, grace kept nudging him forward. • Dating & desire: The honest tension—real desire for marriage and family, yet a deeper pull toward giving his life to the Church. • Nine years, one “yes” at a time: Seminary wasn’t easy; a pivotal cathedral moment re-centered everything on the People of God. • When the Church hurts: Fr. Mark names real wounds yet witnesses a young, faithful, others-focused priesthood rising to serve. • Vocations in motion: St. Andrew’s Dinners, mentors, and the surprise clarity that sometimes comes on a simple morning walk. Try This • Come & see: If you’ve been away, slip into the back pew this Sunday. Let the sacraments do the talking, then introduce yourself to a priest after Mass. • Discernment nudge: Curious about priesthood or consecrated life? Ask your parish about a St. Andrew’s Dinner or reach out to your diocesan vocations office. • Fatherly presence: Take a teen (your child, godchild, student) for a simple walk and just listen. It counts more than you think.

Fr. Mark Garrett joins BeatiDudes Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a moving, funny, and deeply Catholic conversation about hearing God’s call and answering it with courage. Fr. Mark shares life on the road as a nomadic vocation director, offering Mass across the Diocese of Dallas, inviting young men to discern with the Church, and showing up when people suffer. The episode centers on the power of the sacraments: anointing the sick during COVID, blessing workplaces on short notice, and the heart-stopping beauty of fully initiating a newborn into the Church before her short life returned to the Father. Sorrow and joy coexist, and grace is real. Highlights • “Five inches of whoosh” and the Tiny Table full of Tiny Saints. • Fr. Mark’s mileage: More than 20k miles in under a year, visiting 50+ parishes. This is ministry on the move. • Dallas Catholic boom: youth rooms full, weeknight faith formation, and communities on fire. • Vocations 101: The Church discerns with you. You start with your story, not a guarantee. • COVID-anointing in real time: when they call, a priest answers, and you prioritize presence over protocols. • A newborn fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) and a funeral filled with real joy. • Confession etiquette: help Father help you. Timing matters, mercy does too. • Quasi-parishes explained (and why canonical details actually serve people). • Why sacraments matter: not wishful thinking. God truly acts, and grace is given. • Blessings in the wild: offices, hallways, and holy water at the ready.

The BeatiDudes and Kyle Hatfield are at the tiny table, and this time, Kyle is unpacking the full roller coaster of faith, foolishness, and Divine Providence. From a Lutheran kid who once called Catholics “cannibals” to a man discipled into joy by Fr. Eric Shield, Kyle’s story proves God’s grace has a wild sense of humor. He went from writing a handwritten list of 20 reasons to become Catholic to completely falling away in college, only to find his way home through a Life Teen summer, daily holy hours, and an unexpected transfer to Franciscan University (where he met his future wife Angela) Kyle shares two lines that changed his life: “If you’re humble and submissive to Christ, you’ll find peace in all you do,” and “Abandonment to the Father frees you from anxiety about tomorrow.” Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein mix in wisdom, laughter, and a few “ball-and-chain” lessons of their own as they remind us that holiness doesn’t start with perfection; it starts with surrender, a smile, and sometimes, a breakfast gone wrong.

This week the BeatiDudes welcome Kyle Hatfield. He’s a husband, girl-dad of five, former Pines Catholic Camp director, and the Director of Engagement at the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI). Between insane stories at the Tiny Table, Kyle shares a joy-filled journey from conversion and camp ministry to coaching pastors and bishops. Kyle breaks down how CLI helps parishes move from vision to implementation. The "Tuesday-afternoon" stuff like prioritizing mission, delegating well, and caring for clergy with ongoing formation and wellness. Highlights • From The Pines to CLI: camp director during the pandemic to accompanying dioceses, pastors, and bishops • Vision → Action: practical coaching so parishes actually live their mission • Parish as “all souls within your boundaries”: an apostolic lens for leadership • Marriage & family: 10 years, five daughters, and vocation > occupation • The legendary 16-count slow clap and a rapid-fire joke round If you care about parish life that truly evangelizes, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in fraternity and fun. Kyle’s story shows how saying “yes” to God at camp, at home, and in leadership, turns big church dreams into real, local renewal.

The BeatiDudes are at the studio with our brother Joseph “JB” Bionat, who just might be the most prepared (and unprepared) soon-to-be dad in Texas. JB is at the Tiny Table to share what it’s like standing on the threshold of fatherhood, with a baby due any minute. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein delve into JB’s first-ever diaper-changing adventure, the shock of discovering he and his wife, Caroline, were expecting just four months after their marriage, and the sacred blend of fear, joy, and awe that comes with preparing for life as a parent. Between “pregnant pauses,” discussions about Push Presents, and dreams of announcing “Habemus Baby” from the Vatican balcony, this conversation is equal parts comedy and holy anticipation. To top it off, JB takes on the BeatiDudes’ New Dad Quiz, where snack diplomacy,car seat meltdowns, and romantic recovery scenarios test his readiness for fatherhood. Will he pass the test? Let’s just say smoothies and charcuterie boards might be his secret weapons. Whether you’re a dad, a soon-to-be dad, or just love walking with brothers in Christ through life’s big transitions, this episode brings laughter, honesty, and encouragement. JB reminds us that fatherhood is both a gift and a calling, one that requires faith, humor, and fraternity.

This week the BeatiDudes - Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein -welcome JB Bionat, Marketing & Communications Director at St. Ann. JB shares a winsome conversion arc: cradle Catholic to questioning student, then a reasoned return to the Church through scripture study, history, and a lived encounter with Jesus. Along the way: Aggie hospitality, ministry in the workplace, late-night adoration, grad studies at UD, a stint at Word on Fire, and the joyful story of meeting his wife at St. Ann. We also “prep” JB for new-dad life with a hilariously helpful quiz and a round of Blessed Are the Joke Makers. Humor + holiness = home base. Highlights • Aggie roots - Hospitality that feels like home; why a random campus tour sealed the deal for Texas A&M. • From rules to relationship - Bible study (Ephesians), Breakaway invites, and asking better questions about Jesus. • Thinking it through - JB’s route from monotheism vs. polytheism to the historicity of the Church (“one true church founded by Christ”). • Undivided life - Consulting career, witnessing with charity at work, and mid-week adoration near a client site. • Formation season - Pandemic discernment → Master’s in Pastoral Ministry (UD) → Word on Fire Institute marketing → St. Ann. • Love - Women’s Night of Worship, a camera, one providential photo, and a two-year courtship to marriage. • New-Dad Readiness Quiz - Midnight snacks, diaper math in the Target parking lot, and the proper lullaby (hint: “Bohemian Rhapsody”). • Game time - Blessed Are the Joke Makers - sour school-teacher edition.

Nico Cabrera joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein as he delves into the healing power of family, the beauty of choosing to grow, and why quality time together is what truly matters. From Colombian traditions (yes, cheese in hot chocolate and bananas with soup) to the sacred “movie moments” with nieces, to the case for showing up in person instead of living on Zoom, Nico threads humor, heritage, and holiness into a warm reflection on belonging. Along the way, we detour through pork-chop poetry, airport theme songs, and the working rule of family life: when you’re together, don’t look at the bill, look at the people. Highlights • “Choose to be better.” Nico shares how his parents’ decision to grow and heal reshaped the family’s trajectory, proof that humility and conversion change generational outcomes. • Presence > platforms. Trust and creativity accelerate when we’re physically together; Zoom can maintain momentum, but real relationships are built across a table (or next to each other at 6 a.m. work sessions). • Time turns holy. As parents age and siblings get married, mundane moments (sharing ice cream, chasing toddlers) become sacred snapshots. • Colombian comfort: Try it before you knock it, melty mozzarella in thick hot chocolate, and sweet banana alongside hot soup • Family finance rule: When you’re with your people, stop itemizing the joy.

At the tiny table, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Nico Cabrera - a Colombian‑American Catholic whose path runs from teaching high school students, to leading worship on massive international stages, to building partnerships inside a fast‑paced cybersecurity startup. This episode mixes humor (Zara cologne, “fat lips,” and the quest for a decent USA chant), culture (Spanish nicknames, rich family traditions, and Latin musical energy), and faith (music that exalts God, business that genuinely adds value, and choosing joy in each circumstance). Nico recalls playing right after the Pope at World Youth Day for 200,000+ people, reflects on being “rich and wild” in Spanish culture, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s insight - our freedom to choose a response - guides his work and prayer. The Dudes also attempt a color‑coded parody of I Will Survive… Highlights & Takeaways • From Colombia to the U.S.: early years, deep family bonds, and how American experiences shaped his worldview. • Faith, family, and country: the three loves Nico says define his life. • Music with a mission: forming EPIC the Band and leading Spanish worship at the National Eucharistic Congress (~50,000). • World Youth Day story: playing on the main stage immediately after the Pope for 200,000–250,000 people in Panama. • Business as service: a redeemed Catholic vision • Choosing joy daily: channeling Viktor Frankl. We can’t always choose circumstances but can choose our response. • Cultural laughter: affectionate Spanish nicknames, and why the USA chant needs work.
