$100M CEO: How to Think, Market & Scale Like the Top 1% of Founders!
Manage episode 489295053 series 3425176
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- Why ‘balance’ is outdated — and what integration looks like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
