The Culture Matters Podcast

"Something we cannot see protects us from something we do not understand. The thing we cannot see is culture, in its intrapsychic or internal manifestation. The thing we do not understand is the chaos that gave rise to culture. If the structure of culture is disrupted, unwittingly, chaos returns. We will do anything - anything - to defend ourselves against that return." - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of BeliefArtist, entrepreneur, podcast host, Creative Director for 1Team Media, and founder of VC2ART Vinnie Candelore is back for part three of our series to further discuss the painting he was commissioned to create to be presented to Dr. Jordan B. Peterson at this year's TAG event in Atlanta, Georgia.  Today's discussion is a free-form chat focusing on some of the entertainment Vinnie and Jay enjoy, the Peterson Academy's effect on education, and how sometimes the ideas come faster than you can process them.  We hope you enjoy this further discussion with the one and only Vinnie Candelore.

Peterson at this year's TAG event in Atlanta, Georgia.  Where the first discussion of the piece stemmed from a place of wanting to better get to know the creative process, today's discussion is drilling down a little deeper into the piece itself.  Vinnie and Jay are taking a more in-depth look at the piece and getting into the inspiration behind it, the process of producing it, and what the painting is meant to represent in the eyes of the artist.  We hope you enjoy this further discussion with the one and only Vinnie Candelore.

Peterson, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of BeliefArtist, entrepreneur, podcast host, Creative Director for 1Team Media, and founder of VC2ART Vinnie Candelore is joining us for a very special series of episodes we have coming over the next several days.  Vinnie was commissioned to create a painting to be presented to Dr. Jordan B. Peterson at this year's TAG event in Atlanta, Georgia.  Meant as a symbolic expression of the student to teacher relationship, Vinnie's painting is something that deserves to be discussed in earnest with the artist himself.  In this first episode, the focus is on art's meaning in the world and the culture at both the micro and macro level, the creative process, and what forms inspiration can take.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast and enjoy the forthcoming conversations with the artist, Vinnie Candelore.

"The very fact that a general problem has gripped and assimilated the whole of a person is a guarantee that the speaker has really experienced it and gained something from his sufferings. He will then reflect the problem for us in his personal life and thereby show us a truth." - Carl JungWe have spent the last several days meticulously combing through Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, and taking a look at each of the rules in turn.  After such an undertaking, we thought it would be a good idea to take a look back and hit the highlights from this series.  We hope you enjoyed the Beyond Order Series and this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

He will then reflect the problem for us in his personal life and thereby show us a truth." - Carl JungWe are continuing our series today with our very own Jay Doran going through Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, and giving his own interpretation of the text.  As one might expect, we are finishing up this series with rule number 12 which states: "Be grateful in spite of your suffering."  Everyone suffers.  Everyone goes through things that hurt and make things in life difficult.  The important thing is to focus on the good and be grateful for what you have in spite of the things that are causing you pain.  We hope you enjoy this episode and have enjoyed this series on The Culture Matters Podcast.

Peterson, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of BeliefWe are continuing our series today with our very own Jay Doran going through Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, and giving his own interpretation of the text.  This edition's deep dive is centered around rule number 11, stating: "Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, and arrogant."  On the surface, this rule seems pretty self-explanatory and simply good advice.  But if you take the time to drill down on it, you may just find that this rule is much easier said than done.  Jay is going to dive into it on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
