When Your Faith is Central to Your Identity, How Much of Yourself Can You Bring Into the Office?

Money, Honestly by Lionel Foster

Episode notes

Adrian Bracy was chief financial officer for the Arizona Cardinals, an NFL team now worth five and a half billion dollars. Today she is a full-time advisor to one of the wealthier families in the country, helping guide their business and philanthropic operations. Billionaires listen closely when Adrian speaks, but her first and deepest loyalty is to someone with even more clout: God.

Adrian has structured her exceedingly impressive career around conducting business and pursuing her religious convictions at the same time. Each reinforces the other.

As you will hear, she knows the danger of putting that aspect of her identity front and center but decided long ago that it was worth the risk. Actually, given the strength of her convictions, I’m not sure she felt there was any choice in the matter.
