The Coherent Business Podcast
The Coherent Business Podcast is for leaders, thinkers, and builders who believe business can be more than just efficient—it can be whole, human, and meaningful. Hosted by Aram DiGennaro, each episode invites reflective practitioners into open-ended conversations at the intersection of virtue and utility, structure and soul, theory and practice. Together, we wrestle with the fragmented conceptualizations of modern enterprise and explore how to design organizations that are not only effective, but coherent—places where purpose, people, and performance align. If you're searching for post-reductionist answers to real-world business problems, you're in the right place.
