Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 1, Episode 5 on Transacting Value Podcast!

We experience culture in various ways – in our homes, schools, neighborhoods, work, and society. There is also a culture in our minds. It’s the only culture that we experience that we have complete control over. What is the culture of your mind? 

The culture of your mind will influence the external cultures you experience because what's in your mind will determine how you communicate and interact with others. 

Porter tells us about the culture he grew up in – about how the culture of his home life (not having access to many TV shows) impacted the relationships he had at school, about some bullying he experienced, and how he would often distance himself from others. As he got older, others helped him realize his emotional distance, and he has been able to explore that and make changes – largely through developing the culture of his mind. 

This conversation branches out into the following:

• Certifications versus college/university degrees 
• Education is based on who and what an individual surrounds themselves with.
• Responsibility and ownership
• Fostering a culture in your mind that will make you a force for good

An individual refuses to take responsibility for an action, thought, or word for one of the following reasons:

• They don’t realize they are not taking ownership.
• They are afraid to take ownership because of repercussions, increased responsibility, opportunity costs, etc. 
• They were never taught that their actions were a problem.  

Some quotes from today’s episode:

• “All of the things that you harbor and surround yourself with influence your inner culture.”
• “Your inward culture develops into your outward personality.”
• “What you surround yourself with helps build a culture in your mind.”
• “The people make the success of the educational process. Not the other way around.”
• “The culture in your mind is the only culture you can experience in life that you have complete control over.” 
• “The only person who can create a valuable culture for you is you.”
