Fr. Ted Paraskevopoulos: Living with Faith in a Growing Secular Society

Show Notes

Fr. Ted Paraskevopoulos is an Orthodox Priest in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Speaking with Fr Ted is always very insightful and grounding, to say the least. Given everything that’s  happening in the world right now, I felt a need to have a conversation with him.

We spoke about a wide-range of topics, including:

- Tools that people are missing in their lives to help with depression and every day stresses
- How parents should instil the right values in their children 
- Why more couples are getting divorced, and how they can prevent that
- The attack on religion in a growing secular society

I also wanted to hear Fr Ted’s views on several controversial bills and legislation currently in, or being proposed, in Canada:

- Bill C-11 and how it could impact the church and religion
- Bill 89 and the growing sexualization of children in society
- The issues with Bill C-4 from a religious and moral context
- MAID (medical assistance in dying) and the relation to hedonism

What is Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond?

Founder Views is a podcast for SaaS builders who want real conversations, not recycled playbooks.

Hosted by Kosta Panagoulias, a 2x SaaS founder, the show features in-the-trenches conversations with SaaS CEOs, operators, and experts. Each episode digs into the decisions, strategies, wins, and struggles that shape real companies - practical insights from people actively building, not theorizing.

While the core focus is SaaS growth, leadership, and execution, the podcast also leaves room for broader discussions that help founders think better - whether that’s economics, technology, markets, or other big-picture business topics.

If you want raw, easy-to-follow conversations with people who've actually built something, you’ll feel right at home.
