Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Berman

In Episode 2 of the NYE Lollapalooza, Jay Doran is joined again by co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun, with guests Judd Burdon (Asphalt Kingdom), Reagan Weiss, and Andrew Berman each bringing real-time reflections on growth, relationships, leadership, and the words that will define their next year.The conversation opens with a guiding quote: “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”From there, the group digs into the “word” tradition—what last year required, what this year demands, and how transformation actually happens when the calendar turns.Judd shares a year marked by Change—a move across countries, leadership shifts, and a powerful “day with Jay” that reframed what's possible. His word for 2026 becomes Integration, as he maps a bigger ecosystem across e-commerce, manufacturing, brick-and-mortar expansion, and technology.Reagan reflects on a year of Relationships—and why his 2026 word is Obedience: obedience to God, family, and the relationships he's been given stewardship over. Andrew Berman joins the conversation to unpack his word, Accountability, and the structure required to actually live it—especially as a leader scaling a team and organization.Along the way, they debate founder vs CEO mindsets, discuss what makes real advisors different from coaches and consultants, and return to the core theme of the day: proximity can spark transformation—but only if your mindset is ready to receive it.If you're entering a new year looking for clarity, better questions, and a deeper standard—this episode is your reset.If you want, I can also do a shorter description (60–90 words) for Apple/Spotify and a YouTube description with timestamps.

"The best way to get started is to quit and begin doing." - Walt DisneyIt has been a little while, but we are back with another Thirty Days of Thought with friends and what better friends could we ask to do this with than the two we have assembled for today?  Our guests today need no introduction but we're going to give them one anyway...the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and the Chief Marketing Officer of Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Paul Lucido, are here to discuss the idea of quitting every day that you are an entrepreneur.  It is hard to dispute that going into business for yourself is one of the most difficult and stressful things one can do, but that just means the ones that succeed are the ones who really wanted it.  Quitting doesn't have to mean you're taking your ball and going home.  In today's episode, Andrew, Paul, and Jay are taking a crack at unpacking all there is to unpack those statements and we hope you enjoy this discussion on The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - Calvin CoolidgeOur 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 we've got them back for yet another conversation surrounding our very own Jay Doran's work, Thirty Days of Thought.  During today's discussion, these three colossuses of culture will be examining what happens when someone gets stuck, what leads to getting stuck, and how to get out of it when you're in the middle of it.  Nietzsche preached walking to clear your mind and get the answers you were looking for and others have other methods, but the truth is, only you can get yourself unstuck.  There is a lot to unpack today and the gents are not holding anything back.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"What was lost sill soon be found.""You will soon be recognized for your unique talents.""The day is near when you share your talent with the world.""Luck will follow you in the coming year."- A series of fortune cookies from P.F. Chang'sOur 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 we've got them back for yet another conversation surrounding our very own Jay Doran's work, Thirty Days of Thought.  Today's conversation is revolving around the concept of "accepting different socks" which is another way of saying accepting our unique qualities as a unit.  Using this metaphor as the basis of the discussion, Andrew, Paul, and Jay dive into what can prevent us from accepting ourselves and our qualities in both the physical and mental sense, what can drive a person to accepting themselves more openly, and how acceptance or a lack thereof can affect one in business.  As always, we're getting into some heady things and having a good time doing it with our co-hosts Andrew Berman and Paul Lucido.

"A man of knowledge must not only be able to love his enemies but hate his friends." - Friedrich NietzscheOur 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 we've got them back for yet another conversation surrounding our very own Jay Doran's work, Thirty Days of Thought.  The topic for today is "Approachable" and these three culture contenders are diving head first into what it means to be approachable in not only your work, but your personal life as well.  It's always a treat to have these three gentlemen together and we truly hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"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 perhaps gained something from his sufferings. He will then reflect the problem for us in his personal life and thereby show us a truth." - Carl JungThe Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman is joining us yet again to act as co-host to go through our very own Jay Doran's book, Thirty Days of Thought.  Today, Andrew and Jay are getting into the value of writing things down.  Though the technology exists to type or record, there is still something to be said for good old-fashioned penmanship.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"What is a founder? A founder is one who starts a business. What is a CEO? The Chief Executive Officer maintains, runs, and grows a founded business. Not all CEO's are founders, but every founder is a CEO."The Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media as well as our good friend and frequent guest Andrew Berman is joining us again for a little chat about the structure of a business.  Who is at the top of the organization?  As we all know, it is usually the CEO, but what does that actually mean for the business?  What are the responsibilities that come with the title and what is the difference between a CEO and a founder?  Can they be the same person?  Should they be the same person?  We've got an awful lot to unpack today, so we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The tyrant dies and his rule is over. The martyr dies and his rule begins." - Søren KierkegaardOur guest today is the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and we're continuing to celebrate the life of our friend, Kevin DeLory.  Andrew and Jay are taking a look back at some of their early memories of Kevin and how his presence in their lives made an impact both personally and professionally.  Kevin was a risk-taker and someone who believed in himself and that was something that translated to the people in his life.  We hope you enjoy this look back at someone who was taken far too soon, Kevin DeLory.

"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.

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.

"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards." - Søren KierkegaardOur 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 we have them back on to discuss the concept of free will as it pertains to Thirty Days of Thought.  Today's topic is all about the formative years of a person's life and the ups and downs that childhood has to offer.  No one experiences childhood the same way and as we grow and some of us become parents ourselves, we gain a whole new perspective on that period of life.  We're taking a personal look back on this 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 this culture triple threat is certainly one for the record books.  Today's conversation centers around the value of self-culture and the ways in which, when strong, it can influence and positively impact the culture of those around. We're wading deep into the culture pool today on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"You are not an evil human. You are not without intellect and education. You have everything that could make you a credit to human society. Moreover, I am acquainted with your heart and know that few are better, but you are nevertheless irritating and unbearable and I consider it most difficult to live with you. All of your good qualities become obscured by your super cleverness and are made useless to the world merely because of your rage at wanting to know everything better than others; of wanting to improve and master what you cannot command. With this you embitter the people around you, since no one wants to be improved or enlightened in such a forceful way, least of all by such an insignificant individual as you still are; no one can tolerate being reproved by you, who also still show so many weaknesses yourself, least of all in your adverse manner, which in oracular tones, proclaims this so and so, without ever supposing an objection. If you were less like you, you would only be ridiculous, but thus as you are are, you are highly annoying." - Arthur Schopenhauer's mother, Johanna, in a letter to him dated November 6, 1807.On a very special of The Culture Matters Podcast, we are once again discussing Jay's book, Thirty Days of Thought, and, more specifically, the section titled "Frustrated".  This discussion is going to be a little different because we have invited some of our favorite frequent guests to discuss it with us.  Andrew Berman, Paul Lucido, Demetrios Stakias, Nathan Merrill, and Chris Vester are all here to dig into this section and get to the bottom of frustration.  This discussion covers some of the causes of frustration in ourselves as well as with others, communicating clearly, and making sure that you have a good foundation so that when the frustration does come (and it will), you have something solid to stand on.  This is a big conversation with some big personalities and we hope you you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Put all good eggs in one basket and then watch that basket." - Andrew CarnegieAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and one of our favorite and most frequent guests on the show and he's back again today to dig into a little more culture.  Andrew and Jay are digging into Jay's master plan for the NYE Jubilee (episodes 768-782), why being a strong and convicted leader means needing to have the best information possible to make informed decisions, and the practicality of practice makes perfect.  We always appreciate having Andrew on the show and today is no different here on The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes them its instrument." - Carl JungArtist, entrepreneur, podcast host, and the Creative Director for 1Team Media Vinnie Candelore is back on the show to continue this NYE Palooza and the party has started to fill out nicely.  Not only do we have Vinnie, but Mike Calhoun and Andrew Berman have decided to stick around for the third episode of Jay's podcasting marathon.  Our cultural Fab Four are digging into deciding whether you are procrastinating or in your creative process, doing what you have to do in order to take care of your family, and what it feels like to drain your own tank while trying to fill up everyone else's.  The old adage "the more the merrier" is certainly on display on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"This was decided for me before I was chosen. This is my destiny."Andrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and he is our second guest for this cultural endurance trial today.  Part of the fun of this NYE Palooza is getting to introduce good people to other good people and that is what is happening today as our guest from the last conversation, Mike Calhoun, is sticking around for a little while to get in on this conversation.  Among other topics, Andrew, Mike, and Jay are getting into being on a solid routine as far as taking care of yourself goes, the importance of recognizing the skill sets of others, and the cause and effect of procrastinating on an organization.  The NYE Palooza keeps trucking along on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances.  If there is any reaction, both are transformed."Andrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and one of our favorite returning guests and as 2024 is coming to a close, we couldn't think of a better person to recap it with than Andrew.  2024 was a year full of ups, downs, and unique challenges that needed to be met and overcome and we're going to get into all of it today.  With that in mind, let's take a look back at 2024 while we start looking ahead to 2025.

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 we've got these culture-first titans back again for another discussion of Jay's book, Thirty Days of Thought.  Today's conversation centers around carpe diem and what it takes to get up every day and do what you have to do to make sure you've done everything you can to make the most of the time you've got.  It's time to seize the day on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Our guests today are the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and returning for the first time since season 1 and the Chief Marketing Officer of Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Paul Lucido, and we've got these culture trailblazers back again for another discussion of Jay's book, Thirty Days of Thought.  The conversation is focused on the chapter entitled "Mom" which gives these three gentlemen the opportunity to discuss the effect their mothers have had on their lives and beyond.  Listen carefully, call your mom, and enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Our guests today are the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and returning for the first time since season 1 and the Chief Marketing Officer of Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Paul Lucido, and they're back on the show to discuss the second chapter of Thirty Days of Thought, "Labels Limit".  The conversation is dotted with points about rebelliousness emanating from labels, making decisions and sticking to them, and the power of a mentor.  This series is really starting to heat up and we think you'll agree after this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Most people take the limit of their vision to be the limits of the world." - Arthur SchopenhauerWe have a very special episode of The Culture Matters Podcast today as we have invited two returning guests to discuss our very own Jay Doran's book, Thirty Days of Thought, with The Culture Man himself.  Our guests today are the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media, Andrew Berman, and returning for the first time since season 1 and the Chief Marketing Officer of Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Paul Lucido.  These three colossuses of culture are having a round-table discussion on Thirty Days of Thought and how going through this process has helped them and how it can help others.  There is a lot going on today, so listen carefully and enjoy this discussion with Andrew Berman and Paul Lucido. 

"I am dying from the treatment of too many physicians." - Alexander the GreatAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and one of our favorite returning guests and he's back again today to mix it up The Culture Man.  Andrew and Jay are discussing the sale of Andrew's business, looking inward and reflecting on yourself before "trying to change the world", and continuing to grow and expand your mind through educating yourself.  Andrew always brings the heat and today is no different on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"I hope to be so successful in life that I can once again enjoy some of my vices that I've given up." - Andrew Berman"Standing up meant standing alone. Standing up meant having a real relationship with right or wrong while being aware of what side of the fence you stood on in every way. We can't stand up when we are standing down. We can't be warriors in life for others when we stand down. We can't change the hardships of our own life or others if we stand down. We can't be free if we stand down. The list of losses and potential deficits brought on by standing down is huge and frightens many from standing up." - Christine BeckwithAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and he is back today to chat about a myriad of topics, so let's jump right in!  Andrew and Jay dig into the influx of episodes of The Culture Matters Podcast that were being released in an attempt to get caught up with back episodes, what makes a "bad" coach or at least an ineffective coach, and the importance of trust and being trustworthy and how easy it may be to lose the ability to trust within the pursuit of success.  There is all of that and a whole lot more during this conversation with Andrew Berman.

"Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in 10 years." - Roy AmaraAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and he is back on the show today to talk a little business.  Andrew and Jay are digging into the culture of entitlement that can come along with starting a business, what it means to be a leader instead of a follower, and that being a servant to your customers should be the overarching endeavor in any business.  Andrew is one of our favorite returning guests and we think he'll be one of yours after you listen to this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"You become what you give your attention to." - EpictetusAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media who is making his presence felt yet again on the show today.  Andrew and Jay are breaking down the benefits of cold showers, the difficulties that arise when planning your day involves some intense time management, and how having an engaged team who is enthusiastic and ready to learn makes a world of difference.  There's a reason this man is a frequent guest and we think you'll see why after you listen to this conversation with Andrew Berman.

"Let your desires be ruled by reason." - Cicero On today's show, we are throwing it back to Jay's ambitious marathon podcast session from New Year's Eve 2023 as he sits down with the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media Andrew Berman for a discussion that ranges through a lot of topics.  Jay and Andrew are discussing why Jay's local post office might not be his biggest fan, stepping up your personal commitments in 2024, and what perfect culture looks like and how to get there.  There is a reason we keep asking Andrew to come back on the show and this is a perfect example on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Fear of danger is 10,000 times more terrifying than danger itself." - Daniel DefoeOur New Year's Even 2023 conversation with the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media Andrew Berman was too big to contain to one episode, so we had to split it into two!  During this conversation, Andrew and Jay discuss some of the lessons that were learned in 2023, the hopes and expectations for a prosperous 2024, and how getting just a little bit better is what everyone should hope for in the new year.  It's always a good idea to look back before going forward and we hope this NYE conversation both encourages and enlightens as we finish off 2023 in this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Another thing, of course, is life will have terrible blows; horrible blows; unfair blows. Doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't. And there I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea." - Charlie MungerAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media as well as a frequent and well-loved guest of the show.  We are heading back in time a bit again today as Jay and Andrew discuss the passing of the late, great Charlie Munger.  Jay and Andrew discuss Mr. Munger's impact on an individual as well as wider basis and what it means to feel someone's passing on a deeper level even if you'd never met them personally.  We always enjoy having Andrew on the show and we hope you enjoy this conversation on The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man." - Friedrich NietzscheAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and a frequent and beloved guest on the show.  Jay and Andrew are discussing the benefits and detriments of hope, how growth in volume or business is not a measuring stick for happiness, and what a survival mentality is versus a thriving mentality.  We always enjoy having Andrew on as a positive voice and presence and he keeps that streak alive today on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"God creates out of nothing. Wonderful, you say. Yes, to be sure. But he does what is still more wonderful; he makes saints out of sinners." - Søren KierkegaardAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and he's making a stop on the show for a quickie of a chat.  We're talking about the value of hugs, how your future self will look back on your current self, and maybe even a little bit about theological accountability.  It might be a briefer episode, but there is a lot to unpack on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well, the product or service fits him and sells itself." - Peter DruckerAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media is back on the show and today we are talking content.  Jay and Andrew discuss the impact Jay's book Thirty Days of Thought had on Andrew and his speaking skills, the thought process that goes into choosing what topics to discuss on a podcast, and why some people avoid having repeat guests on their show and why some embrace it.  We've got a lot of content talk going on in this episode, so we hope you enjoy this conversation with Andrew Berman.

"Anyone who keeps learning stays young." - Henry FordOn a very special and personal episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, Jay talks with good friend and frequent guest on the show Andrew Berman.  The discussion centers around how a mutual friend's health challenges inspired Jay to cut his hair in a show of solidarity and transitions into Jay's accident that could have potentially taken away the use of his arm for the rest of his life.  This is a deeply personal and revealing conversation and we hope that if you or someone you know is going through something right now that you can find some hope or inspiration to keep fighting the good fight.

"The future influences the present just as much as the past." - Friedrich NietzscheAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and we are very excited to have him back on the show!  During their conversation, Andrew and Jay discuss what it says about you when you are early as opposed to late (because you can never REALLY be on time), how committing to things, no matter how small, and holding to those commitments serve to make you a better person, and what the mortgage industry has to look forward to in the next couple of years.  We keep bringing Andrew back because he is a wealth of truth and knowledge, so we hope you learn a little something on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast!

"The first duty of love is to listen." - Paul TillichAndrew Berman is an advisor, mentor, and the Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media and he is back today so that we can lean on his expertise in the mortgage and insurance spaces.  Are those industries in trouble in this topsy-turvy economic climate?  The short answer is yes, but Andrew is here to shed a little light on what could be conceived as a dark situation.  Andrew and Jay are discussing the benefits of focusing on one thing instead of trying be amazing at 50 things, becoming a legit "grown-up", and the value and responsibility that come with owning your home.  It's always a treat to have Andrew on the show so we hope you enjoy this discussion on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast!

"You must determine where you are going in life because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction.

It's time for the final episode in our Summer Staff Picks series, highlighting favorite conversations from the Here's The Thing archives. This week, we revisit Alec Baldwin's conversation with Andrew Berman. He has been called one of the most powerful people in New York real estate, but not because he's a deep-pocketed developer. Berman is the Executive Director of Village Preservation, where he advocates for the protection and conservation of historically important buildings and sites in Greenwich Village, the East Village and NoHo, including the cultural touchstone The Stonewall Inn. Alec first spoke with Berman in 2015 regarding his background and what led him to this field, how the changing zoning laws affect his work, and his wish for the city's future. Berman joined Alec again earlier this summer for an update on his work since last they spoke, including the recent wins that Village Preservation has achieved, the ways the city has changed since covid and the challenges involved in solving the city's affordable housing crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York City has a new landmark, a little bar in the West Village named Julius', officially recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on December 6th, 2022. Now it may not look like much from the outside, but it's here that one moment of protest (the Sip-In of 1966) set the stage for a political revolution, “a signature event in the battle for LGBTQ+ people to gather, socialize, and celebrate openly in bars, restaurants, and other public places.”So we thought it would be a great time to revisit our 2019 show on the history of Julius'  and a look at the life of gays and lesbians in the mid 20th century. But this show also features an interview -- recorded at Julius' of course -- with When Brooklyn Was Queer author Hugh Ryan who was just on our recent show on the history of Jefferson Market and the Women's House of Detention .PLUS there's even a tie-in to the Worlds Fair of 1964, linking to our last episode.Visit our website for photographs and more details -- boweryboyshistory.comThis episode features an audio interview clip from the podcast Making Gay History, as well as a musical clip of 'I Hear A Symphony' by The Supremes (Motown).Our thanks to Andrew Berman of Village Preservation for allowing us to use audio from the 2022 historic plaque unveiling
