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.

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.

Yvonne Doran (Cyclist in Ras na mBan) chats to Pat Treacy on CRKC 30.08.2025
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.

"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.

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 have no special talents. 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.
Kilmihil boss Mickey Doran says his side had full belief they'd get a result against Ennistymon after they had been written off ahead of their TUS Clare Senior Football Championship tie. Following a heavy opening round defeat, Doran's charges responded with a three point win over Ennistymon leaving Group 2 with all to play for headed into Round 3. Ciarán Downes lead the charge landing multiple first half two-pointers and finishing with 12 points in total. Doran says his forwards have the potential to hurt teams if primary possession can be secured. Meanwhile, Kilmurry Ibrickane captain Dermot Coughlan is hailing the impact they got from their bench as they picked up their second win of the campaign. David Egan's side are in pole position in Group 3 after their 0-18 0-15 win over St.Breckan's and face Wolfe Tones in the final round of the group stage. Man of the Match Coughlan says the subs dragged them over the line in a close fought affair.
"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.
"Confidence comes from preparation." - John WoodenOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is sitting down to discuss preparation as a concept, as a mindset, and as a tool for success. Behind the scenes, a lot of work goes into making sure Jay is as prepared as possible for every guest that comes on the show to make sure that we are doing right by the people that take the time to come on to speak with Jay. Preparation shows respect, a willingness to learn, and that whatever it is you are preparing for has inherent value. Whether you are prepping for an interview, a speech, a presentation, or anything else, the amount of work you put in beforehand is going to be reflected by what you produce. We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." - Peter DruckerOn today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, we are continuing our series where our very own Jay Doran gives a little insight into the what, the why, and the how of Culture Matters as an organization and exactly what it is that culture means in the grand scheme of things. For this discussion, Jay begins to build upon the brief overview of the series' first episode by digging a little deeper into the why of Culture Matters. What was the inspiration behind the beginning of this adventure? How does culture strengthen when it is getting tested? How does business and culture mix when life outside of the business is just as complicated, if not more so, than life inside the business? We're just beginning to scratch the surface of these and a lot more questions, so we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast and will stay tuned as we continue to dive even deeper into Culture Matters.
“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.

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Shay Doran, a men's coach who helps guys overcome performance anxiety and erection challenges. Shay shares his personal journey of leaving a corporate career after realizing how deeply these struggles were shaping his relationships and confidence, and why addressing them became his life's work.We discuss how performance anxiety often stems from childhood messages about worth and masculinity, and how those beliefs create cycles of pressure, shame, and disconnection in the bedroom. Shay explains why shifting the focus from performance to pleasure, presence, and communication can transform intimacy, and how reframing natural breaks—like moving rooms or reaching for a condom—can ease anxiety rather than trigger it.Shay also offers practical advice and resources for men navigating these challenges, reminding us that healthy sexuality isn't about flawless performance, but about connection, patience, and trust.Key Points:Shay's background and motivation Shay shares his personal journey of overcoming performance anxiety and erection challenges, which led him to leave his corporate career and dedicate himself to helping other men with similar struggles. He describes how his father's passing and a realization about the impact of these issues on his life and relationships were the catalysts for change.The root causes of performance anxiety Shay and Cam discuss how performance anxiety often stems from early life experiences and messages around the need to perform and be a certain way to receive love and acceptance. They explore how these deep-seated beliefs and insecurities manifest in the bedroom and create a vicious cycle of anxiety and shame.Reframing the approach to intimacyCam shares his approach of shifting the focus from performance to pleasure, connection, and enjoyment. He emphasizes the importance of slowing down, being present, and communicating openly with partners to create positive experiences, rather than getting caught up in the pressure to maintain erections or last a certain amount of time.Navigating breaks in intimacy Shay and Cam discuss how the transitions and breaks in physical intimacy, such as moving from the couch to the bedroom or reaching for a condom, can trigger anxiety and the belief that one should maintain an erection at all times. They highlight the importance of normalizing these natural fluctuations and reframing them as opportunities for connection.Advice and resources for men struggling with performance issues Shay and Cam encourage men struggling with performance anxiety to seek support, be patient with themselves, and have faith that it is possible to overcome these challenges. They recommend Shay's performance anxiety quiz as a starting point for self-assessment and provide information on where to find Shay's website and YouTube channel for further resources.Relevant links: Shay Doran's Website: https://shay-doran.com/Shay Doran's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@shay-doran
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." - Peter DruckerWe are very excited to be starting a brand new series today where our very own Jay Doran is pulling back the curtain back a little to share what it is that Culture Matters does, what Culture Matters means, and what Culture Matters is. This podcast has served as a way for culture to take center stage in the worlds of contracting, real estate, finance, philanthropy, and a host of other businesses that deserved to have their stories heard. And now we are taking a little time to share some our story. This first episode serves as introduction in to what is to come in this series and we hope that our listeners will take it as an opportunity to get to know us better as we continue to seek out and elevate culture at every turn. We look forward to bringing you this series and we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
"There was once a wise, spiritual master who was the ruler of a small but prosperous domain and who was known for his selfless devotion to his people. As his people flourished and grew in number, the bounds of this small domain spread and with it the need to trust implicitly the emissaries he sent to ensure the safety of its ever more distant parts. It was not just that it was impossible for him personally to order all that needed to be dealt with: as he wisely saw, he needed to keep his distance from, and remain ignorant of, such concerns. And so he nurtured and trained carefully his emissaries, in order that they could be trusted.Eventually, however, his cleverest and most ambitious vizier, the one he trusted most to do his work, began to see himself as the master, and used his position to advance his own wealth and influence. He saw his master's temperance and forbearance as weakness, not influence, and on his missions on his master's behalf, adopted his mantle as his own - the emissary became contemptuous of his master. And so it came about that the master was usurped, the people were duped, the domain became a tyranny; and eventually it collapsed in ruins." - Friedrich NietzscheIf you've ever listened to The Culture Matters Podcast before, then you know that the sayings and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche are a staple of this program. On today's episode, our very own Jay Doran is having a look at the above quote and breaking it down to take a deeper dive into the relationships that exist between mentors and mentees as well as people in a position of authority and their subordinates. They say people don't leave their jobs, they leave their bosses and a lot of it has to do with a lack of investment in those employees. There is a lot to unpack in this episode and we are here for absolutely all of it on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

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.
