Have you ever thanked your past self for making life a little easier today? That simple gesture reflects something deeper: the kind of practical wisdom (phronesis) that fuels human flourishing.
In this episode of The E Word, we explore how Aristotle’s five intellectual virtues—through our SPENT framework—can guide us toward a more intentional, joyful, and purpose-driven life. What starts as a philosophical reflection quickly becomes a conversation about real-world decisions: prepping breakfast, stocking up on essentials, or learning to trust your gut at work—even when the data isn't all there.
We examine how self-awareness (sophia), intuition (nous), factual knowledge (episteme), and skillful action (techne) all play a role in how we think, lead, and live. Along the way, we offer tools for rewiring the subconscious and honoring the wisdom of your inner voice.
Which SPENT virtue shows up most in your life—and how are you letting it lead?
