Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 5 on Transacting Value Podcast!
The core values we’re focusing on for August are tact, generosity, and justice. Porter goes stream-of-consciousness about how our values impact the future of work. Individuals are valuing work that is more fluid which will allow for more creativity, passion, and specialized skill sets to shine through.
An important theme in today’s episode is to be someone that your future self can look back on and be proud of. With that future goal in mind, what kind of culture do you want to create? How do you want to behave? How do you want to respond? How do you want to lead? You can’t control all of the circumstances in your environment, but you can control your actions, your beliefs, and your responses.
In your responses and interactions, be tactful in addressing others and communicate without offending. You won’t be perfect. No one is. But you can be mindful of how you are perceived by others and how your words and actions affect others.
Consider yourself too. Pay attention to how your words (especially those that are inside your mind) make you feel. When you catch yourself being unnecessarily negative, change your focus to something positive before your day gets sidetracked by the negativity. You have the power to make micro shifts in your thinking that can change the trajectory of not only your day but of your life.
So be careful how you talk to yourself. The warrior within is listening.
Quotes from today’s episode:
“I can use tact as an attribute to influence my day or my attitude or my perspective on the world.”
“Ultimately everybody just wants to increase value for their time and effort.”
“Everybody has something worthwhile to contribute.”
“Be careful how you talk to yourself. The warrior within is listening.”
“The scales of justice are weighed in gold. He who holds the money holds the power.”

Talking to Truckers

Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 4 on Transacting Value Podcast!
Austin Utter is a full-time truck driver, traversing from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, going as far south as Panama City, FL. Today, Austin meets fellow trucker Jonesy on the air. One drives an 18-wheeler, the other a dually with a gooseneck. Still, the two have a lot in common and can relate on multiple levels.
Whether short trips, long trips, there will be roadblocks up ahead, smart bears, and rigs of every size. When you’re a trucker, those long stretches of highway often lead to in-depth conversations with yourself and your buddies. If reality doesn't teach you lessons, those honest conversations over "squak box," headset, or Bluetooth will. If you value an honest upbringing, blue-collar work, and trucker lessons, then this episode is for you.
Austin and Jonesy cover topics like...
- The importance of preventive maintenance and knowing the basics of working on your own vehicle
- The importance of money management skills
- Strategies for maintaining relationships while on the road
- The importance of encouraging children to get outside and take risks, and how parents need to teach their kids how to fix the messes they get themselves into, making repairs, etc.
- Understanding the difference between joking and bullying
A couple of requests of non-truckers when you’re sharing the road with truckers:
- Never drive right next to a big rig. Either speed up and get ahead of them or stay behind them. You could be in their blind spot, or one of their tires could blow and damage your car or cause an accident.
- Put your cell phone down.
Quotes from today’s episode:
“They always need trucks on the road. There is always stuff that needs to be delivered. You can’t beat the job security of that.”
“The beautiful thing about it is I’m the boss of my own paycheck.”
“You can’t wait for the world to help you. Take a bit of initiative.”
“I am so glad that I got most of my screw-ups out of the way when I was a young kid.”
“Every day is a learning experience. Every day I’m learning something new.”
“In any relationship, humanity and communication makes all the difference.”
“Social media is not a babysitter.”

Successful Habits of a CEO
1 RecommendationsBecome a Global Ambassador for Self-Worth. Text us your feedback!
Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 6 on Transacting Value Podcast!
CEO of Textdrip, Phil Portman, came from humble beginnings, one of seven children. As a young man, he was focused on having enough money and was determined to be a millionaire one day. Through hard work and some key decisions along the way, not only is he successful in business, he is a family man with a balanced life.
In today’s discussion with Porter, Phil tells the story of when, tired of being on the road away from his family, he decided to leave his well-paying corporate job and work for himself.
Things you’ll learn about Phil in today’s episode:
- He didn’t do well in college.
- When he left his corporate job to work for himself, he wondered if he made the wrong decision.
Behaviors and viewpoints that contribute to success:
- Set clear, written goals for various categories, over the next five years.
- Focus on being a well-rounded person.
- Develop healthy habits.
- Read every day.
- Work out every day.
- The better you get at building habits into your lifestyle, the more productive you become.
Tips for leaders, managers, and business owners:
- Don’t surround yourself with ‘yes’ men. Surround yourself with diverse perspectives.
- Ask, “Are we creating an atmosphere where our employees feel safe to tell us something is a bad idea or to give us feedback on something?”
- Build trust, encourage feedback, listen to it, and don’t take it personally.
- Have a philosophy of “I want my employees to be the best versions of themselves.”
- View the people around you through a positive lens and watch them rise with you. Let go of those who are not a positive influence in your life.
Phil describes how his character has developed as he has grown in life and business:
- 20 years ago, he was willing to lie to get ahead financially. Not today. Money is no longer the main goal. It’s a byproduct of the primary values in his life.
Phil’s top three values now:
- Integrity, the foundation of communication
- To leave the world a better place
- Family
Quotes from today’s episode:
“I have no doubt that anybody out there can do what I’ve done and have the same success.”
“I wanted to be a present dad for my kids.”
“You won’t get success overnight. Success is compounded.”
“Your habits are what you become.”
“It takes a thousand attaboys to make up for an ‘Oh, shit.’”
