New Horizons: Living the Faith as a Young Professional

In this episode of New Horizons, Rob Hays reframes networking as a path to authentic friendship, grounded in three often-overlooked virtues: service, cheerfulness, and naturalness.

He first highlights St. Joseph as a model of service—quiet, faithful work done with love and selflessness. Rob encourages us to view networking as a way to give rather than get, shaped by a spirit of generosity in our professional lives.

Next, he explores how true cheerfulness—rooted in faith—draws others in and builds trust. Rob reminds us that real connection does not come from self-promotion, but from joyful, self-forgetful engagement with others.

Finally, he turns to Christ as the model of naturalness: simple, sincere, and fully present. In a world of performance and image, Rob urges us to live and relate with authenticity, letting our faith be seen in ordinary, honest actions.

Together, these virtues invite us to see networking not as strategy, but as a way of living with purpose.

Resources mentioned in the episode include: "The Way, Furrow, The Forge" and "Friends of God".
