Ep. 59 - Wall Street, Business School, Venture Capital… and Catholicism? with Drago Dimitrov

Published 4 days ago

"God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting." Join us for an inspiring conversation with Drago Dimitrov, co-founder and CEO of Holy Habits, as we explore the intersection of faith and finance. From Wall Street to Catholic entrepreneurship, Drago shares his journey of balancing professional ambition with spiritual growth. Our discussion explores:

  • The challenges of maintaining Catholic identity in high-pressure financial environments
  • How Drago's immigrant background and education shaped his professional path
  • The realities of Wall Street culture, including its excesses and ethical pitfalls
  • Drago's five-year journey from Baptist skeptic to committed Catholic
  • Why succeeding in finance often requires compromise, but not necessarily of one's values
  • Finding the courage to be open about your faith in professional settings
  • The leap of faith required to leave prestigious careers for purpose-driven work
  • Practical advice for young Catholics entering competitive business fields

Drago offers candid insights about his transition from analyzing investments to building Holy Habits, a Catholic app designed to make spiritual direction accessible at scale. His story demonstrates how God can work through our professional talents to serve the Church, even when the path isn't always clear.

While pursuing career success isn't inherently wrong, we must always keep eternal perspectives in mind. Whether you're considering a career in finance, struggling with workplace ethics, or searching for greater meaning in your professional life, Drago's journey offers wisdom for navigating these challenges while staying true to your faith.
