The Culture Matters Podcast

"The integration of longevity science, the financial planning, isn't just an innovation. It's a necessity for modern wealth management."Author of Healthy Wealthy Longevity, entrepreneur, and founder of Longevity Financial Partners Jon Sabes is joining the show today and we're going down deep down the scientific rabbit hole.  Jon and Jay are digging into some of the science behind expanding the human lifespan, the importance of your health in the pursuit of a longer life, and how we can tie our financial success to those endeavors as well.  The concept of mortality and the pursuit of a longer life is a fascinating one and we're happy to be having this conversation with the one and only Jon Sabes.

"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of others."Chief Victory Officer at the Center for Victory and Executive Coach and the Director of Learning and Development of Top Contractor School Eric Guy is back on the program for a little look at the duality of man.  Everyone has choices to make throughout their lives and different paths that can be taken.  Choosing who you want to be and how you want to act is going to directly affect your relationships and knowing who you are or even who you want to be is going to directly affect you.  It's a quick conversation today, but it's one worth having.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said." - Peter DruckerWe're keeping this culture train rolling down the tracks with some more content from our very own Jay Doran.  Today, Jay is breaking down exactly what a leader's role is when it comes to the formation of the culture in their company.  Should the leader be solely responsible for the culture and, once established, what is their role moving forward?  What happens when the market changes or the employee perception changes?  Leaders need to lead and Jay is going to get into it on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The tyrant dies and his rule is over. A martyr dies and his rule begins." - Søren KierkegaardOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is taking a look at the impact on retention through the lens of Deloitte's core values.  As one of the "big four" global accounting firms, Deloitte knows a thing or two about retention of not only customers, but of employees as well.  Jay is going through their values and picking out why they work so well and where those values are truly coming into play.  All this and more on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Our guests today are the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and the Chief Marketing Officer of Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Paul Lucido, and these three gents are continuing their journey through Thirty Days of Thought with today's topic: culture of pride.  This is a wide-ranging and deep subject and there is no shortage of moments in today's episode.  Where does a culture of pride stem from and who is ultimately responsible for it?  Is it overtly negative or can pride be a good thing.  We're getting down into it on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly." - Friedrich NietzscheFounder and CEO of The Indaba Africa Group and Retired United States Army Colonel Col. Chris Wyatt is making his first appearance on our show and we couldn't be happier to be diving into his long and illustrious career serving The United States of America.  Col. Wyatt and Jay are digging into the higher than normal odds against the Colonel to make his rank based on his career path in military intelligence, the way the speed of technology and information sharing has changed the game both militarily speaking and within the civilian world, and what motivated Col. Wyatt to begin his new endeavors in his post-military life.  There is so much jam-packed into this episode and we are very excited to share it on today's edition of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Pure self-reliance is a myth, but systemic change, without personal change, is hollow and dispiriting and ultimately cannot work. Its true that people need to act on their own behalf, but individuals do not developed such dogged self-determination until someone or some institution first helps them grasp that their effort is integral to achieving that goal. It is is this core conviction that allows them to endure as they encounter barriers along the way. This precondition is agency."Founder of Vertex Partnership Academies, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and author of Agency: The Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E.) for ALL Children to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative and Discover Their Pathway to Power Ian Rowe is our guest today and we are taking a deep dive into education.  Ian and Jay are discussing how more and more kids are being told that the system is either rigged against them or they're at fault for not being able to overcome the system, how kids will start to believe those kinds of things if they hear it enough, and how it is the responsibility of the older generation to help the younger generation.  Ian has dedicated his life to the service of education and we're grateful that he has chosen to share some of his journey with us on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much truth he could tolerate; or, more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified." - Friedrich NietzscheOur very own Jay Doran is taking a small break from interviewing the best and brightest the entrepreneurial world has to off and is flying solo for a little culture content.  Today is all about the price of toxicity in the workplace.  What does it cost individually and for the business at large?  Is there a way to avoid paying that price?  When company's talk about ridding themselves of toxic culture, are they being legit or just saying what people want to hear?  All that and more on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"It all depends on the people involved in it. There are a million great ideas, but not everybody can turn a great idea into a successful idea."Co-founder of Hat World and LIDS International and the founder of Make My Cap Glenn Campbell is back again for his sophomore stop on our show and this go around is going to blow the lid off this podcast.  Glenn and Jay are discussing how attention to detail ensures a positive experience across the board for your customers, the negative affects that social media has had in the working world, and how journaling can be reflective as well as a great way to capture a moment in time in your own words.  Glenn has a wonderfully bright and thoughtful perspective and he's been around the block a time or two, so we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
