His Way At Work

What His Way At Work does

His Way At Work is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2008 by Peter Freissle, a manufacturing CEO who experienced a faith transformation during a silent retreat and built the organization to help other Catholic business owners integrate their faith into business operations. Headquartered in Spartanburg, SC with a Cumming, GA mailing address, the company operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees (approximately 14 named staff across U.S. and Iberoamerica functions) and has consecrated 500+ companies since inception, with 250+ having implemented the CARING BY DESIGN methodology. Its product portfolio centers on a $49 Consecration Kit (9-day novena guidebook, leather portfolio, video series), tiered Association of Consecrated Companies membership starting at $75/month and scaling by company size, the proprietary CARING BY DESIGN nine-session methodology, the Caring Matrix resource tool, the EternalROI framework, coaching services, an annual U.S. Summit, Ignatian retreats, and a parish partnership program.

The go-to-market motion blends community-led growth through a 17,000-parish U.S. Catholic distribution network with a self-serve digital path added in October 2025 that has driven 168 new consecrations in a short window. Revenue is generated through kit sales, recurring membership subscriptions, coaching engagements, event tickets, and tax-deductible donations (monthly, legacy, matching, and IRA rollovers). The organization maintains an international footprint via a staffed Iberoamerica division covering Spanish-speaking markets and existing chapters in Canada and Mexico. Governance includes a board chaired by founder Peter Freissle, with Alfonso González (Qualfon) as a board member, Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone as Ecclesial Advisor, and Ryan Foley as International Executive Director.

Direct peers

• YPO (Young Presidents' Organization): Global peer network for chief executives offering forums, education, and community. Comparable in structure to HWAW's chapter-based community model for business leaders.
• Legatus: Catholic organization specifically for Catholic CEOs, business owners, and senior executives, with chapters and formation programming. Direct competitor for the same Catholic business owner audience that HWAW targets.
• Convene (formerly Executive Networks): Peer advisory and leadership development organization for senior executives. Comparable in business model around cohort-based executive engagement and community.
• C12 Group: Christian peer advisory and coaching organization for CEOs and business owners, structured around local groups and a faith-based business methodology. Closest faith-based peer offering CEO coaching at scale.
• Vistage: Large CEO peer advisory and executive coaching organization serving SMB CEOs through monthly groups and one-on-one coaching. Direct analog to HWAW's coaching model without the religious overlay.
• EO (Entrepreneurs' Organization): Peer-to-peer network for entrepreneurs offering forums, events, and learning programs. Comparable to HWAW's community and event-driven model for business owners.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: Large national Catholic nonprofit network addressing social services. Comparable as a 501(c)(3) Catholic organization but operates at much larger scale and broader mission scope.
• FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students): Catholic collegiate outreach and evangelization organization. Comparable in operating as a faith-driven nonprofit with formation programming and national scope, though serving students rather than business owners.

Emerging players

• Hallow: Catholic prayer and meditation app. Overlaps with HWAW through shared Catholic audience and Ryan Foley's prior advisory role; both compete for Catholic mindshare and digital engagement dollars.
• Exodus 90: Catholic men's spiritual formation program. Overlaps in audience with HWAW Catholic business owner segment; Foley was an early advisor. Adjacent formation programming rather than direct competition.
