Supercharging Your Energy.  The book is based on “energy secrets” behind his long business career — and more than half a century of success as an ultra-long-distance bicycle rider and racer. \n​Greg left a job reporting economics in Washington for The Wall Street Journal to become Director of Community Services at Catholic Charities here in 1980.  Over the next 10 years\, he led the team that started Our Daily Bread\, My Sister’s Place\, and Sarah’s House\, programs that are still serving the poor today.  After that\, he held top marketing jobs at Price Waterhouse\, Prudential Health Care\, and Alex. Brown before starting his own consulting practice in 2003. He also taught marketing at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Carey Business School for many years. \n​But the “test bed” for his energy theories has always been his bike.  He’s twice ridden across the US; the last time in just 18 days at the age of 66\, averaging more than 150 miles a day. He has won age-group national championships in 12-hour (206 miles) and 24-hour races (335 miles).  He’s raced 1\,000 miles in Italy (about 5 days) and 750 miles in Alaska (about 3).   \n​His “secret” is to maximize all four pools of energy within: physical\, intellectual\, emotional and spiritual – especially spiritual.  Come on August 28 to learn how! \n\n\n\nWHEN:\nFriday\, August 28\, 2026\n 8:00 am – 9:30 am\nWHERE:\nHightopps Backstage Grille\n 2306 York Road\n Timonium\, MD\nCOST:\nFREE for Members\n Guests: $20\nThank you to our Breakfast Sponsor\, Gallagher!\n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to CBNB’s Premier Sponsors!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to CBNB’s Leadership Sponsor!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BECOME A CBNB SPONSOR!  Learn More>>\nFind CBNB on Facebook!

She’s come to believe that’s not a failure of faith. It might be what real faith looks like. God can handle the questions. \nOne thing never wavered: Love. In this honest\, personal talk\, Kelly shares three ways she intentionally led with love through her hardest season — and how understanding the people around you may be the most practical form love can take. \nWe encourage you to join us on September 25th! \n\n\n\nWHEN:\nFriday\, September 25\, 2026\n 8:00 am – 9:30 am \nWHERE:\nHightopps Backstage Grille\n 2306 York Road\n Timonium\, MD \nCOST:\nFREE for Members\n Guests: $20 \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to CBNB’s Premier Sponsors!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to CBNB’s Leadership Sponsor!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BECOME A CBNB SPONSOR!  Learn More>>\nFind CBNB on Facebook!

Our Catholic Faith can lead us on a journey we could have never asked for or imagined! \nAmy is a Catholic Alcohol Freedom Coach\, speaker\, wife\, mother\, and grandmother who believes that God does the impossible. Her own journey of alcohol freedom became a story of deeper faith\, personal transformation\, hope\, and healing—and ultimately led her to begin coaching others. As a Certified This Naked Mind Coach\, Amy helps people discover freedom from habits that hold them back and learn to live more fully as the person God created them to be.\n\nCatholicism is the framework for Amy’s faith and daily life. A lifelong Baltimore resident and parishioner at Church of the Nativity\, she co-led Walking With Purpose Catholic Bible study for eight of her ten years with the ministry. Her work and her story are deeply rooted in Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing\, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”\n\nAmy is passionate about connecting faith\, freedom\, and integrity in business and leadership—especially what becomes possible when we allow the Holy Spirit full access to our lives and decision-making. She and her husband\, Joe\, have been married for 39½ years and are blessed with four adult children and three grandchildren. \nWe encourage you to join us on October 23rd! \n\n\nWHEN:\nFriday\, October 23\, 2026\n 8:00 am – 9:30 am \nWHERE:\nHightopps Backstage Grille\n 2306 York Road\n Timonium\, MD \nCOST:\nFREE for Members\n Guests: $20 \nThank you to our Breakfast Sponsor: Towson Transfers \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to CBNB’s Premier Sponsors!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BECOME A CBNB SPONSOR!  Learn More>>\nFind CBNB on Facebook!
