Season 87, Episode 1044: Thirty Days of Thought: "Happy Birthday"

It has been a couple of months, but we are finally back with Thirty Days of Thought featuring our very own Jay Doran as he discusses excerpts from his book, Thirty Days of Thought.  On today's episode, Jay is focusing on the chapter entitled "Happy Birthday".  We are kicking off the episode (recorded on November 16, 2025) with a very big happy birthday shout out to our friend, returning guest, and "Tales of Giving" series collaborator, Mr. Demetri Stakias!  From there, Jay goes on to discuss the blessing of having people around that don't give you a choice on whether or not you are celebrating your birthday, using the birthday as a caveat for action and for growth, and not using age as a measuring stick for your success or for where you think you ought to be in life if you aren't where you think you should be.  To anyone who listens to this on their actual birthday, we wish you the happiest of happy birthdays and we hope that you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
