In this powerful episode, I sit down with Joshua Sparks — former CEO of iconic fashion houses like Sass & Bide, Thom Browne, and Urban Outfitters. He’s scaled global brands, sat in the boardrooms of billion-dollar companies, and now runs Together Studio, a boutique consultancy helping purpose-led businesses grow smarter.

But behind the resume is a deeper story.

Josh shares why he walked away from the corporate fast lane in search of something more meaningful — a journey that led him through burnout, spiritual discovery, and a complete reinvention of how he works and lives.

We go deep into the stuff most entrepreneurs don’t talk about:

• What success really feels like at the top (and why it’s often empty)
• The real causes of burnout — and how to recover without losing your edge
• Why your business might be your greatest spiritual teacher
• How to use flow states and creativity as fuel for growth
• What Zen philosophy, Jungian psychology, and ancient wisdom can teach you about scaling consciously

Josh reveals how high-performance founders can tap into creativity, alignment, and deep focus — without sacrificing themselves in the process.

This one is a must-listen for ambitious entrepreneurs, creatives, and ecom founders building brands that actually mean something.

In this episode:

• How Josh led $100M+ brands and why he walked away
• The spiritual crisis that cracked open a new way of living
• Using Zen to access creativity and clarity under pressure
• Why ‘balance’ is outdated — and what integration looks like
• Flow state as a business strategy (and how to find it daily)
• The rituals, questions, and frameworks Josh uses for inner work
• What ancient philosophy and quantum physics taught him about leadership
• How to build a brand that reflects your highest self
