Dr. Garrett Potts was recently featured in Dr. Scott Parson & Jason Viyar's "," where he spoke about virtue ethics, meaningful work, and human flourishing! The episode, titled "Noble Purpose: Craft, Character, and the Work That Helps Us Flourish," discusses the question: What if the purpose of work isn't simply to produce excellent results...but to become an excellent human being?
Dr. Potts "challenges many of the assumptions that shape modern leadership and invites us to rethink success through the lens of character, community, and the common good," says the Flourishing Leaders Podcast.
The episode's description outlines some of the key discussion points of their conversation, like:
- Why flourishing is fundamentally relational
- How excellence and character are inseparable
- The difference between empathy and compassion
- Why caring for the whole person matters in leadership
- How moral injury can affect people far beyond the military
- Why communities—not individuals alone—form character
In the episode, Dr. Potts emphasizes how his focus on religio-cultural competence promotes thoughtful conversations on how meaningful work, virtuous leadership, and healthy communities shape character and encourage flourishing. Listeners are invited to explore how these concepts intertwine to create a more holistic approach to leadership and personal development.
