In this episode of the Arable Leader podcast, host Karl Martin and JP dive into the nature of spiritual capital—how it shapes both our inner lives and leadership in the modern world. Karl challenges the idea that spirituality is confined to religion, advocating for curiosity, wonder, and connection as inherent in human nature and vital to human flourishing.

The conversation explores how tapping into this “something more” grounds leaders, deepens resilience, and brings wisdom to the pressures of business and life. With reflections on ancient wisdom, the dangers of comfort, and the transformative power of embracing mystery and suffering, the episode offers practical insights for cultivating spiritual richness—personally and organizationally—amid the noise and chaos of our times.
