This exploratory-sequential thematic analysis was undertaken to discover or connect how experts in business or entrepreneurship view, use, or adopt notions of spirituality and or psychological sustainability in start-ups. A “Start-up” is a business that is new or directly out of concept. Within this study, a thematic analysis sought to expose any themes from three separate podcast transcripts from the United States. The podcasts specialize in business start-ups and entrepreneurship. After intensive analyses of the transcripts of podcast conversations, a variety of themes were documented, categorized, then presented within a table that unfortunately reveals that these keyword subjects are neglected in this form of media, and the subjects did not arise in any level of discussion regarding the business life-cycle. In terms of study design, preliminary qualitative designs are often considerations at the outset of secondary source analyses. Thematic analysis is an accepted form of qualitative research. This exploratory thematic analysis may provoke future studies in these areas which have implications in the fields of psychology, business, and religious studies.
