The Culture Matters Podcast

“Those who can, build. Those who can’t, criticize.” - Robert MosesReal estate professional, businessman, co-owner of R.K. Reiman, and host of "The Real Build" podcast Bill Reiman is on the program today and we are talking about the finer things.  Jay and Bill are discussing what luxury means and the appeal of the high end experience, making sure that the customers are happy and that everything is to their liking in that luxury space, and playing the cards you've been dealt instead of trying to take someone else's cards.  Bill has a unique and humble outlook on his industry and we think you should go ahead and treat yourself to this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"A really good goal has to excite you and scare you at the same time." - Juan Carlos ArzolaAdvisor, mentor, coach, author, and businessperson extraordinaire Juan Carlos Arzola has finally made his way to the show and we couldn't be happier to have him as our guest!  Jay and Juan Carlos are unpacking what being a coach actually means and the awesome responsibility that comes along with it, the process of turning unawareness into awareness in whatever field or discipline you may be working with others in, and the importance of being remembered for being a good person instead of just a good businessperson or salesperson or whatever else.  Juan Carlos is a shining beacon of positivity and great energy and that can truly be felt throughout the entire conversation.  We encourage you to sit back and listen up to this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Today on The Culture Matters Podcast is part seven of our ongoing series where our very own Jay Doran discusses his book, Thirty Days of Thought, and breaks down each chapter as he goes through the book and completes it himself.  In this chapter, entitled "Frustrated", Jay discusses places where frustration can come from, what kind of responsibility one owns for that frustration, and even how to harness it and, if not turning it into something positive, not allowing it to overtake you.  We hope you've been enjoying this series and are following along on your own thoughtful journey with Jay Doran.
