What does it actually mean to become a leader worth following, not just at work, but in every part of your life?In this episode of Refiner’s Fire, Peter Blute sits down with executive coach, author, former Waffle House VP, and YCP National Board Member Randy Hain for a conversation about faith, leadership, mentorship, and living an integrated Catholic life.Randy shares how a personal moment in his family began drawing him back to God, why professional success alone left him unfulfilled, and how his conversion to Catholicism transformed the way he approached work, leadership, and service.Together, Peter and Randy explore what it means to stop being one person at Mass, another at home, and someone else at work; how to discern when God may be calling you in a new professional direction; and why some of the best leaders begin by asking, “How can I help you?”They also get practical about mentorship, including how young professionals can approach senior leaders with respect, curiosity, and courage and why becoming a great leader requires both the courage to pursue greatness and the humility to use your gifts in service of others.
