Welcome to the Arable Leader podcast. In this episode, Karl Martin uses a humorous personal story about dressing "cowboy chic" to explore the deeper meaning of investments in our lives—far beyond financial ones. He unpacks the concept of the Five Capitals: financial, intellectual, physical, relational, and spiritual, urging us to invest not just for ourselves but for the benefit of others and future generations.

Karl challenges us to think long-term, act with intention, and lead generously. Through thought-provoking questions and insightful examples, he encourages leaders to reflect on their true purpose, relationships, and the broader impact of their choices. This episode is a call to mindful, soulful leadership and intentional living, inviting listeners to evaluate what’s in their hands and invest it wisely for enduring returns.
