Fides Entrepreneurship: Realizing the Gifts God gives to you amidst Money and Distractions
Luca Zocche
July 03, 2025
A happy early Independence Day to all of you!
As we celebrate America this July 4th, we’re reminded that true freedom isn’t just political but spiritual.
It’s not found in wealth, power, or status, but in the security of one’s faith. The faith that anchors you when the world gets loud.
That’s why we’re especially excited to welcome Todd, whose story reveals this profound truth:
Success without grounding becomes noise. The real freedom is found in faith that isn’t swayed by the noise, but is instead swayed by silence.
"The times that I’ve been the happiest were the times I had the least money—and leaned the most on my faith. That’s when I was most comfortable with myself."
After decades on Wall Street, working with firms like Morgan Stanley, The Carlyle Group, and Man Group, Todd had seen it all—power, prestige, women and profit. But it wasn’t until he found himself alone in a hospital bed, that the truth became undeniable: you can have everything and still feel empty if you haven’t aligned your soul to one’s faith and having true meaning.
His lesson?
Comfort and having luxuries isn’t the same as having faith and doing the right thing.
Money can buy distractions but not necessarily give you direction. Faith builds direction.
Entrepreneurship, when guided by discernment and prayer, is the way to build companies.
“I had been rinsing, washing, repeating—and confessing. But I wasn’t really changing. I was taking the Lord for granted. Now, every deal I do, every risk I take, is through the lens of: is this what God gave me these gifts for?”
Todd realizes his gifts, reordered his ambitions, and made sure his soul is part of the legacy he’s leaving behind.
The reality is Wall Street does give you the opportunity to grow but at the same time you need to have the faith on your side to guide you the right direction as ultimate.
The lessons you’ll learn from Todd will show you how today he’s working on 4 different initiatives to use the gifts God has given to him for the right purpose and how you too can do the same.
We cannot wait to see you there!
