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.

In this episode of The Coherent Business Podcast, Aram DiGennaro explores the surprising resurgence of religion and religion-adjacent sensibilities. After decades of decline in religious identification, there is now a notable increase in spiritual engagement among 18 to 35-year-olds. This trend is not just about traditional religions but the broader desire for meaning, community, and personal growth.
Business leaders need to understand this mega-trend, its driver, and its implications, so that we can meet the needs and harness the opportunities for leverage in marketplace and societal impact.

Mini summary:
After decades of decline, religion, spirituality, and the search for meaning are making a surprising comeback, especially among younger generations. In this episode, Aram DiGennaro explains why this isn’t a fluke but the natural response to a hyper-reductionist, post-COVID world that stripped away community, identity, and purpose. Drawing on philosophy, cultural trends, and real-world examples, he shows how humans are “re-linking” what modern life broke—and why this shift is reshaping culture, work, and leadership in the 2020s.
