"Tough times don't last, tough teams do." - Robert SchullerOn today's latest installment of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is sitting down with the show's producer, Kyle DiRaddo, to continue their discussion on the in's and out's of what drives Culture Matters.  During their discussion, Jay and Kyle and chatting about what a shift in company culture means and looks like from the ground up.  Company culture is an organic thing.  It is going to exist from the most of conception for a company and it is going to grow and change with the company.  It won't happen all at once, but instead take time to become the next iteration of itself.  What that next manifestation looks like affects everyone in the organization and it takes everyone buying in to make sure it becomes what it should.  We're covering all of that and more on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Rice County Commissioner Galen Malecha and Kathleen Doran-Norton from the League of Women Voters and ISAIAH talk about tomorrow's panel discussion at St. John's Lutheran Church on the impacts the cuts to Medicaid will have on the Northfield and Rice County community. Effects of Medicaid Changes on Our Community panel information

On this edition of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is having another discussion with the show's producer, Kyle DiRaddo, and discussing some of the thoughts, feelings, and motivations behind Culture Matters as an organization.  In today's discussion, Jay and Kyle are focusing on the work that goes into a culture shift in a company and where that work actually begins.  What specifically should a coach or advisor be looking for when evaluating a company's culture?  Are there universal signs that something is amiss or does it vary from company to company?  When the shift does happen, is it something that is felt all at once by everyone in the company or is it more of a gradual shift that just happens?  We're diving into all of that and more on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Resistance is futile." - The Borg Collective, Star TrekOn today's edition of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is sitting down with the show's producer, Kyle DiRaddo, for a conversation about what makes Culture Matters go.  For this discussion, Jay and Kyle are digging into some of the reasons that people may be hesitant to hire a coach or an advisor, what may trigger some resistance to having a third party come in to evaluate their company's culture, why some pushback actually might be a good thing when it comes to culture evaluation, and whether or not the advisor/advisee relationship has a tangible stopping point.  We hope you enjoy this conversation on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Send us a textAreo Hotah watches as the skull of the Mountain is presented to Prince Doran Martell. Finally peace between Dorne and the Iron Throne, predicted no one, ever. Mackelly and Simon roll out the barbed wire and start digging the trenches.Chapter Review:In the Old Palace of Sunspear, Areo Hotah watches as Maester Caleotte delivers an ebony chest to Prince Doran Martell. Inside is the skull of Gregor Clegane, which Obara Sand places on a marble pedestal. Doran declares that “the Mountain rides no more.” Ser Balon Swann, there on behalf of Queen Cersei, is made uneasy by the spicy food, the politics, and Princess Arianne's careful attention.Cersei's letter requests that Myrcella visit King's Landing, with Trystane to accompany her and Doran to take Oberyn's seat on the small council. Doran suggests they travel by ship, and Balon's reluctance to travel by sea does not go unnoticed.After the feast, Doran gathers Obara, Nymeria, Tyene, Arianne, Ellaria, and Hotah in his solar. Ellaria breaks at the Sand Snakes' refusal to accept the end of the blood feud with the Lannisters, rejecting the endless cycle of vengeance. When she leaves, the Sand Snakes demand war, but Doran forces them to swear obedience before revealing that Cersei's invitation is a trap meant to kill Trystane on the road. Instead of violating guest right by killing Swann, Doran assigns each Sand Snake a role: Obara will lead Swann to hunt Darkstar, Nymeria will escort Myrcella to court and take the small council seat, and Tyene will infiltrate the Sept of Baelor. Arianne will remain in Sunspear as his heir. As plans move forward, Dorne prepares to strike back its own way.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Areo Hotah - Captain in Prince Doran Martell's service.Prince Doran Martell - Infirmed ruler of Dorne.Princess Arianne Martell - Princess of Dorne.

On this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is stepping up to the mic for a quick discussion on what it means to be the second generation of a business.  Using the story of Alexander the Great and his ascension to ruling the Macedonian empire after the murder of his father, King Philip II, as a jumping off point, Jay is digging in to what it means to continue a legacy and forge your own path in that pursuit.  There is a certain amount of pressure that comes with being put into a position where you are responsible for furthering something that you didn't create in the first place.  How will you respond to that pressure?  Will you rise to the occasion and continue to build and push for more or will you simply try to maintain the status quo and coast?  We're getting right into it on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is back behind the mic for another discussion on our favorite subject...culture.  The topic for this episode is limiting beliefs.  Limiting beliefs can be seen as a barrier toward reaching your true potential or preventing you from taking a leap when an opportunity presents itself.  Limiting beliefs can also be seen as a protective shield to prevent you from getting hurt or disappointed or growing beyond your means.  From the standpoint of corporate culture, are limiting beliefs a positive or a negative?  Can they even be categorized as such?  As we progress in our entrepreneurial journey, do limiting our beliefs help us or hinder us?  We're covering all of that and more on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Thanks for joining us as Senior Leader Alex Rettmann sits down with leaders from our church family to reflect on last Sunday's sermon and talk about life, community, and ministry. We are praying you're blessed!

"The crucial differences which distinguish human societies and human beings are not biological, they are cultural." - Ruth BenedictOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is sitting down once again with the show's producer, Kyle DiRaddo, to discuss some of the in's and out's of what makes Culture Matters tick.  In the first episode of this series, Jay and Kyle discussed some base-level topics regarding what advising corporate culture looks like.  For this discussion, we are drilling down further and getting down to the nitty gritty of Culture Matters.  Jay and Kyle are digging into some of the early and long-term benefits of hiring an advisor or coach, being willing to put as much as you can into that relationship to ensure getting the utmost out of it, and beginning to scratch the surface of some of the pushback someone might give when approaching the subject of hiring an advisor.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Doran's travels get rudely interrupted.

"Small wheel turn by the fire and rod, big wheel turn by the grace of God, every time that wheel turn 'round, bound to cover just a little more ground" - The Grateful DeadWe are beginning a new series on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast with our very own Jay Doran sitting down with the show's producer, Kyle DiRaddo, for a look inside at Culture Matters and what makes it tick.  In the first conversation of several to follow, Jay and Kyle are taking the first steps in shedding light on the values and goals of Culture Matters and drilling down on some of the important questions related to the work the company does.  During this discussion, Jay and Kyle are touching upon if a company can function successfully even if the culture in said company is less than ideal, how different companies gauge success from either a monetary or quality of life standpoint, how trust can be created as a third party entering an advisory role in a company, and some things founders or CEOs should look for in an advisor from a compatibility standpoint.  We hope you enjoy this look inside Culture Matters and look forward to bringing our listeners more conversations like this in the future.

Ryan Doran is a Partner in Lead Creative and Head of UI/UX for Turkois, with over 17 years of experience in monetization strategy, payments, and scaling technology businesses.  Danny Smith is a Solution Architect at Stripe, working on AI-driven commerce innovations and partnering with AWS.

Learn why flexible technical infrastructure is essential for modern pricing strategies. Discover how AI is enabling hyper-personalized shopping experiences with built-in guardrails.   "Your pricing strategy is only as good as the background tech that you have to operationalize it. If you have a legacy monolithic stack and you can come up with these great strategies, but it takes you six months to implement that strategy, then you've probably been left behind already." – Danny Smith   Topics Covered: 02:15 - How Ryan got into pricing through product development and payment flows. 04:30 - Danny's journey from cloud architecture to payments infrastructure. 06:45 - The difference between billing systems and payment systems. 10:20 - Why new billing companies continue to emerge despite established players. 14:15 - How AI is accelerating data utilization in pricing decisions. 17:30 - The dual challenge: using AI for pricing vs. pricing AI products. 19:45 - Hyper-personalized shopping with AI agents and built-in guardrails. 23:10 - The ethical concerns of "sleazy price segmentation" and AI pricing. 28:40 - Agent-to-agent negotiations and policy engines. 31:20 - How AI products are changing pricing models: tokens, credits, and hybrid approaches. 35:15 - Creating "action units" to translate technical complexity into business value.   Key Takeaways: "Data is basically the new margin. What you can do with it is only gaining in value." - Ryan Doran "We've implemented API level technology that will create a budget... and it will create a virtual debit card on the backend for that exact amount, tied to today as an expiration date, tied to that particular transaction." - Danny Smith   People / Resources Mentioned: Turkois: https://turkois.io/ Vanilla POS: https://vanillapos.io/ Stripe: https://stripe.com Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/ OpenAI: https://openai.com/ Chargebee, Chargeify, Zora: Alternative billing platforms MCP Server: Technology enabling AI agents to interact with Stripe for dynamic pricing   Connect with Ryan Doran: Website: https://turkois.io/ Email: ryan@turkois.io   Connect with Danny Smith: Contact through Ryan Doran   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is taking some time to talk sales and storytelling.  One thing that all great salespeople have in common is their ability to tell a story.  That doesn't mean to spin a yarn or say what you have to to make the sale.  Instead, great salespeople are able to put themselves in the shoes of their potential customers armed with all of the information that they can to speak to that customer on their terms and in their language to make sure both sides of benefiting.  The story doesn't have to be a long, drawn-out epic with subplots and twists.  All it needs to be is straight-forward, compelling, honest, and true to make it great.  We're digging into the art of storytelling on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

In this episode of Grow Your Moving Company, Wade sits down with Jay Doran, host of the Culture Matters podcast and founder of Culture Matters consulting. Together, they dive deep into the role of company culture in building a thriving moving business.   Jay shares why culture is not just a buzzword—it's the heartbeat of a company. From shaping customer experiences to guiding employee growth and even influencing investor relationships, culture drives every outcome. Drawing on Kierkegaard's wisdom—"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forward"—Jay explains why understanding a company's history is essential for defining its values and future direction.   Connect with Jay Doran: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-doran-ba2b55a7 https://www.youtube.com/@jaydoran494/ https://www.instagram.com/jaydoran_thecultureman/   Know more about Culture Matters: https://culturematters.com/ https://theculturematterspodcast.buzzsprout.com/   Shop Wade's book - Hometown Titan: Build A Local Business That Dominates Your Market: https://a.co/d/8zLXZMC   Become a MOVING TITAN at the next Moving Titan Retreat https://www.movingtitanretreats.com/   Tighten up your moving company operations with TITAN UP TRAINING https://www.titanuptraining.com/   This episode is powered by Hyre (formerly Hey Lieu) Virtual Assistants: https://www.hyreup.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/hyre https://www.instagram.com/hyre.up https://www.facebook.com/hyre.up This episode is sponsored by: Moversville - an online marketing company and resource for movers, consumers, and those involved in the moving process. https://www.moversville.com/wade   About the Show Wade Swikle is the CEO of 2 College Brothers Moving, Storage and Franchising, currently with locations in Tampa, Gainesville, and Orlando, Florida.   https://2collegebrothers.com/   Learn more and connect with Wade Swikle: Wade's website: https://2collegebrothers.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wadeswikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@2CollegeBrothersMovingStorage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wadeswikle/

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran, a voracious reader in his own right, is taking a minute to talk about just that - reading.  There is power in the written word.  There is knowledge to be gained, new ways of thinking to be uncovered, and a virtually endless library of stories, tales, and windows into other times that only books can provide.  Jay is discussing his personal tie to reading and what makes it such a passion for him, the overwhelming advantages there are to reading as much as you can, and what you can learn about not only whatever subject you want, but perhaps more importantly, yourself in the process of reading.  After you've listened to this episode, take some time, find a book, and get reading.

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, we're continuing to steer the culture train down the tracks with our very own Jay Doran takes another deeper look into what actually makes up culture.  In yesterday's episode, Jay discussed the essence of what culture is and what makes culture in a business environment.  Now, we're taking a look at how one can define culture.  Anyone can pick up a dictionary and find the definition, but what we're talking about is on a more intangible level.  What does culture look like?  What does it feel like?  Is it something you can see from the outside looking in or is it something that you need to immerse yourself in to understand?  If you've ever asked yourself any of those questions or find your curiosity piqued, we have got the episode for you.

If you've been following along on the show, then you know that for the past few weeks, our very own Jay Doran has been taking deeper dives into the specifics of various elements of culture.  Whether taking a peek behind the curtain into the core values of Culture Matters as a company or even why culture itself matters at all, we've been taking a closer look at the culture that drives us on a daily basis.  With that being said, there is one element of culture we haven't taken a look at yet and that is exactly what culture is.  On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, Jay is taking a stab at answering that exact question.  Between being what drives the day-to-day at a company and how people treat one another as well as the clients, culture is all around at all times, so let's take a closer look at exactly what it is.

Doran has a few painful reunions while the city of Dawn's Edge begins to heal in the background. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

"The successful warrior is the average man with laser focus." - Bruce LeeOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is back to continue his discussion on focus which is one of the core values driving Culture Matters' mission.  In yesterday's episode, Jay looked into focus as a concept and why it should be at the top of mind of anyone in the business space, regardless of what that business is.  Today, Jay is diving a little deeper and looking at what the results of good focus can be.  Where have we seen focus create success through history?  Who has thrived from being as focused as one can possibly be on the task at hand?  Where can focus get you?  We're taking a look at all of that and a whole lot more on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Jesus is at the door, knocking. Not to shame, but to draw us close. He asks three questions. “Where are you?” Step out of hiding and come near. “Is God able?” Trust Him with every room of your life and let faith reset your perspective. “What do you want?” Say it to Him. He asks not for information but to awaken expectation. Our first desire is simply to be with Jesus. In His presence we find the greatest provision! As we answer, shame loses power, direction becomes clear, and hope rises. Open the door and say yes to Jesus!

"He who chases two rabbits catches none." - ConfuciusOur very own Jay Doran is back again with another look into the core values that drive Culture Matters as a company and today's focus is on just that: focus.  In order to be successful in any business venture, the entrepreneur or CEO or founder or whatever title one might bring to the table, it takes a certain level of ability to hone one's attention in on the task at hand.  Whether that task is building a company from the ground up, taking one's company or organization to the next tier of success, or providing your clients with the best possible service you can, your focus and your attention is going to have to be absolute in completing that task.  That can tend to be much easier said than done.  In this episode, Jay is taking a deeper look at the concept of focus and how being focused on the client is at the very heart of what Culture Matters is all about.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

If you have spent any time listening to this podcast, or even taken a look at the title, then it should come as no surprise to you know that culture is very important to us here at The Culture Matters Podcast.  The question you may be asking yourself is why?  Why does culture matter so much?  Why does culture matter to the point that we have spent nearly 1000 episodes talking about that very subject?  Well, our very own Jay Doran would like to shed a little light on that question and dip a metaphorical toe into that very subject.  What is it about culture that matters so much and where does it belong in your business?  Why do we spend so much time emphasizing its importance to others?  You're going to get all of that and more on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Medieval English Literature lecturer Dr Eleanor Parker join Samira Ahmed to discuss the BBC's historical epic King and Conqueror starring James Norton. They've also read Boudicca's Daughter by Elodie Harper, and watched Young Mothers by the award-winning filmmakers the Dardenne Brothers. Plus Samira talks to artistic director Seán Doran about the Arts Over Borders project FrielDays, which over the course of five years will celebrate work of dramatist Brian Friel by staging all 29 of his plays either side of the Irish border.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Claire Bartleet

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, we are taking a bit of a different approach than we normally do and we are taking a look inward with our very own Jay Doran talking about the origin story of Culture Matters.  Sometimes when we feel at our most lost and unsure of what to do, an answer will present itself in the most unlikely of places.  Who would have thought that a book about The Container Store would lead to a decade and change long journey into business, culture, and the relation the two have to one another?  Today's episode is a deeply personal look at what led to Culture Matters as an entity and how a trip to Barnes and Noble would lead to a lifelong study of culture and service to others.  We hope you enjoy this look inside Culture Matters on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Consistency is what transforms average into excellence."Today on The Culture Matters Podcast, we are continuing our series on the core values that drive Culture Matters as a company with our very own Jay Doran giving  our listeners a peek behind the curtain.  Our topic for this episode is consistency and how being consistent is something in life and in business that will either drive you to success or keep your business on a particular plateau.  To be consistent is to provide comfort to your clients that when you say you are going to do something that they can take it to the bank that it will be done.  Consistency is not just something to strive for, but something that you can and should be from the onset of any relationship.  There are very few qualities that will instill trust, a willingness to take chances, and a desire to continue to work together like good, honest, consistent results.  We strive for consistency every day and, as always, we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

I am only passionately curious." - Albert EinsteinOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is back again to discuss what makes curiosity such an important quality or value to possess.  It is curiosity that launches exploration; whether in the physical world around us or in the exploring new concepts or ideas or trends that could help your business or your family or both.  It is curiosity that causes people to ask "what if" instead of accepting the world around them as it is.  Curiosity causes empathy and makes us want to know the people around us and what their stories are.  In other words, it is curiosity that drives us to understand the things around us and make us want to know what we already don't.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"The discipline of suffering, of great suffering - do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? That tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness - was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?" - Friedrich NietzscheOn this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is taking another look at some of the things that drive Culture Matters as an organization behind the scenes.  The core value that Jay is discussing today is urgency.  Urgency is a driving force that requires us to be on our toes and to keep pushing even when we think we've given the task all we've got.  Urgency is what is going to get you across the finish line of your goals when you're feeling like you've gone past the point of exhaustion.  Working with a sense of urgency is what is going to set you apart from your competitors in your field.  We work with a sense of urgency because that is what keeps the blood flowing and the work at the highest level.  We hope that you feel a sense of urgency to listen to this episode and then go out there and get the work done.

"When culture is treated as a core business function, you start to see real traction." - Brian SmithOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is taking some time to discuss a very intriguing article that was sent to him by someone he considers a mentor.  The article in questions was put out there by a publication called Executive Search Review and is entitled "The Critical Role of Executive Search in Driving Culture Change".  This article runs the gambit of cultural information from statistics breaking down employee retention by companies with strong cultural experiences versus those with weaker ones, what you need to do in order to see significant culture transformation within your business, and ways in which you can create a strong company culture that will attract top performers.  Jay is taking a deep dive into this culture playbook and giving his insight into some of the very in-depth and well researched points this article has to make.  We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

“Culture matters because people matter." —Jay Doran   Is your company culture silently working against you? You can have the best strategy, a killer product, and all the right hires—but if your culture is off, everything feels harder than it should be. You can't fake a healthy work environment, and deep down, your team knows when things feel transactional, unsafe, or hollow. If you've ever wondered why great people leave or why momentum stalls even when the numbers look good, this episode will hit home. Jay Doran is a culture consultant, speaker, and founder of Culture Matters. He's spent over a decade studying the invisible forces that shape how people show up, lead, and build inside organizations. From interviewing thought leaders to coaching companies on their “cultural DNA,” Jay brings a sharp lens and real-world insight into what it actually takes to create an environment where people thrive—and why most leaders get it wrong. Ready to find out what your business feels like from the inside out? Hit play for a raw, eye-opening convo on hiring misfires, founder blind spots, team trust issues, leadership energy, and why "culture" is way more than values on a wall.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:58 From Anxiety to Action 07:27 The Importance of Writing Down Goals 12:52 The Role of Culture in Business  17:22 Culture Starts from the Top 22:06 The Impact of Adversity on Leadership 33:03 The Role of Purpose in Business  40:19 The Role of Exposure in Growth 45:19 Life is About Experiencing It

To understand Middle East dynamics, I always count on Michael Doran, Director of the Middle East Center at the Hudson Institute.“For the first time, Jan, in history, Israel and the United States have taken military action together. This is totally new,” he tells me.We sat down to discuss what has now been dubbed ‘The 12-Day War' and how Middle East political realities have been transformed.“One of the most amazing things about the Israeli attack against the Iranians is that they totally took the Iranians by surprise. Scientists were in their beds. Commanders all got together, thinking they were safe. That is just remarkable,” says Doran.How did the strikes on Iran change the geopolitical landscape? Was World War III ever a real possibility? And has the threat of a nuclear Iran been neutralized … for good?There's still a little lingering doubt that maybe some of the enriched uranium was squirreled away by the Iranians in some other secret site,” says Doran. “Right now, Iran is a nuclear power of indeterminate status. So, we have to wait and determine.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
