  <itunes:subtitle>Oscar sits down with Tim Hanley, a restaurateur and former Franciscan brother to talk about what makes community truly come alive. Tim shares how his time with the CFRs shaped his understanding of simplicity, fraternity, and the priority of relationships over success. We dive into the heart behind his restaurant concepts—from Neapolitan pizza to a 90s hip-hop speakeasy—and how each space is designed to connect people in a disconnected world. Rooted in faith, Tim’s journey reveals how vocation, family, and food all point toward the same truth: we’re made for communion.</itunes:subtitle>
