In this episode of Legatus Cincinnati, Adam sits down with Dr. Jacob Imam, President of the College of St. Joseph the Worker. Born into a Muslim home and later guided into the Catholic faith by his godfather, Walter Hooper—C.S. Lewis’s longtime secretary—Jacob’s journey is one of faith, intellect, and service. A Marshall Scholar and Oxford graduate with a doctorate in theology and economics, he has become a leading voice on the intersection of faith, politics, and economic life, appearing on Pints with Aquinas, Fox News, and other platforms.
Together we explore the mission of the College of St. Joseph the Worker and how it is opening doors for young people to pursue meaningful, well-paying careers in the trades while being deeply rooted in their Catholic identity. Jacob shares how the college is reshaping opportunities for the next generation—offering not just technical training, but an integrated vision of work, faith, and community.
If you’re interested in how Catholic education can form both the hands and the heart for service, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
