"The tyrant dies and his rule is over. The martyr dies and his rule begins." - Søren KierkegaardOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, we are paying tribute to a dear friend who left this world too soon.  Kevin DeLory was a loving family man, a well-respected and trusted person both inside and outside of his professional life, a frequent guest and collaborator with Culture Matters, and someone who truly made those lucky enough to be around him better.  He was a teacher and a friend and someone who put service to others above himself.  Jay is taking some time today to honor this great man and share some of the wisdom Kevin brought into his life.  We dedicate this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast to our friend, Kevin DeLory. 

"In my whole life, I have known no wise people over a broad subject matter area who didn't read all the time. None. Zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren reads; at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out." - Charlie MungerThe Investor Series rolls on today, but with a bit of a different look and feel.  Our good friend and usual co-host Aleck Arena will not be joining in on this conversation.  Instead, our very own Jay Doran will be flying solo and discussing one of the great great minds of the modern investing world, Mr. Charles T. Munger.  When it comes to investing, there are few voices that ring out louder and clearer and have had more of an impact in the space than Charlie Munger.  You don't come to be Warren Buffet's right hand for decades without knowing a thing or two.  Today, Jay is discussing some of the finer points of Mr. Munger's work and why he will always be remembered as a titan in his industry.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The two greatest warriors are patience and time." - Leo TolstoyOur 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.  Today, the lads are digging into exponential growth and what it means from not only a business standpoint, but from a personal one as well.  To grow as human beings exponentially is to suffer through pain, learn from that hardship, and come out on the other side better for the experience.  Its a deep concept from that point of view and not one of these guys is shying away from it on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world."    - Arthur SchopenhauerOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is sitting down for a quick thought experiment regarding a healthy mindset.  Understanding that not every day or situation is going to be a positive one and learning to work through those things is a key element to making sure that you're keeping your attitude and will to move forward in the right place.  Now keeping it there...that is where the real work begins.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

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.
