"The opposite of what we know is also true."Today on the show, we're starting a brand new series with our very own Jay Doran discussing his book Thirty Days of Thought and is taking our listeners through his own journey as we go section by section.  Meant to be used as a tool for the reader to open themselves to different means of thinking, Jay discusses the first section of the book and dives into how it can be used.  As everyone's experiences in life are different, no two people are ever going to have the same thoughts and answers based on what is written and that's because no two people are like.  We hope you enjoy the first part of this new series on The Culture Matters Podcast.

"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest; sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they got up and, boy, does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you." - Charlie MungerPhilosopher and artisan contractor with Vision Stone and Tile Nathan Merrill has joined us on the show once again and if you are in the market for some deep thinking and conversation then, boy, did you come to the right episode!  Nathan and Jay discuss the desire to engage in intellectual conversation using social media as the catalyst without much success, whether social media has become the next step in social evolution for the human species, and the difference between personal angst and cultural angst.  As always, Nathan is bringing the intellectual goods to The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Always support your teammates by upholding the process, procedure, and values of the Guardian culture."Robert Frehafer is the founder and owner of Guardian Roofing & Siding and he's back today to continue our series on the values of Guardian.  The letter of the day is "D" which in the Guardian culture stands for "defend".  Robert discusses with Jay that defend means more than just having the backs of your colleagues and the company at large.  It means upholding processes or procedures, not compromising values, and making sure that you conduct yourself in a way that is a good representation of your company.  All of these values in this series can be applied to anyone in any business, so we hope you take some good lessons away from this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
