And what is the relationship between our minds and our culture?
Let's look at the many layers of culture - relationships, family, schools, workplace, neighborhood, etc.

Poker as Emotional Health Training
Episode #109
Original Air Date: 3 March 2023
Produced by: Doug Krisch
Length: 29 minutes
This episode features some stories and some reflection on the topic of Poker as it pertains to emotional health. Over the past 7 months, I have had the opportunity to play over 50 poker sessions - mostly home games, with a few casino trips interspersed. In this episode I share what I have learned about the relationship between playing poker and developing emotional health skills.
Some people have told me that they are surprised that I would play poker, for they saw it is incompatible or even contradictory to the Weather of the Mind pod.
In this episode I hope to set the record straight - - poker can be a great teacher of focus, decision-making, emotional regulation, social skills, risk/rewards strategy.

PS If this show resonates, please share with your people, that is a real help. Thanks. (plenty of ways to link to social media on the audio player on the weather of the mind page.) (Episode 101 is a great introductory episode to share)
PPS Seriously though, we have no new school social media for this podcast. So word of mouth is extremely helpful. Old school. -

Magnificent
I feel as though Doug provides a weekly outlet for people to tune in to, allowing us to escape our monotonous routines and reflect on the deeper virtues of life, and practical ways to access them
“Carpe Diem” to All Humans. May “Weather of the Mind” long live and prosper
I see this podcast as a great international tool, but more focused on immediate benefits of a close-knit community. Local. Those daily in our Immediate surroundings benefited by Truly discovering and learning more from each other.
How we can all be more compassionate and understanding on our paths. Yet, always remembering the nitty gritty and realness of some of our relationships with others best coined as, “ I love you, but I don’t have to like you. “
We can disagree with others without being disagreeable.
I praise Doug over his numerous years that I’ve only subtly known him through a few phone calls, emails and 1 time meeting in person... for his vigilance, persistence and pursuit of dedicating his life and existence toward improving lives.
“Weather of the Mind...”
Our minds are just as the weather is (constantly changing each breath of air we breathe)...and this is a great podcast in which Doug dissects various aspects our minds take us in this life. This podcast has no boundaries and is true Art.
I believe Doug is a true anthropologist. A true philanthropist.
