Show Hosts
Each week, Dave Plisky and Fr. John Gribowich speak with a variety of guests about what it means to live in an integrated life, across different aspects of life.

Dave Plisky
Dave Plisky has spent the last nine years working for the Church as Director of Marketing & Digital and Director of Product & Innovation for DeSales Media. Dave’s goal is to modernize Church communications so that she can flourish even in the digital and now AI epoch. Through special projects like the research study on intentional disciples that has become Religion to Reality, Dave helps DeSales use the contemporary gifts the Holy Spirit has given us to drive Catholics to put their faith in action. Dave has appeared on a number of podcasts, shows and blogs, and leads two Catholic book clubs. He serves on the board of the American Contemporary Classical Orchestra, and on the Product Advisory Committee for Magisterium AI, and participates annually in the Builders AI Forum in Rome. Dave has spent 20 years in marketing, product and innovation across industries in Los Angeles, New York, and Prague. He is currently pursuing an MA in Theology from Notre Dame. He graduated magna cum laude from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in business management, and is an alumnus of Seth Godin’s altMBA. Dave and his wife and son are parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi in the Diocese of Bridgeport. Dave is an avid reader and musician, a lover of comedy, and a jungle gym for his son, who every day helps Dave better come to know the love of the Father.
