Sunday morning, I went to an early mass at our parish, St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, NJ, and I am always interested and intrigued to what our pastor, Monsignor Peter Smutelovic, has in store for his homily.

As we turn the page to another month, a few good listens on careers, leadership…and The Masters. You can find all our podcasts from the last seven years here. Almost all are under an hour, and we hope you walk away from the first as well as the last so far, learning a little bit …
