00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:44.049 JACK THOMAS: Good afternoon, everybody! Welcome to the happy spot. This is Jack Thomas bringing it to you. Live from New York City. I travel around.
00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:46.459 JACK THOMAS: It's what I've done for 30 years.
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.670 JACK THOMAS: What 40 years
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:55.459 JACK THOMAS: being a business advisor starting off in the automotive industry, and every day you had to find your happy spot.
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.560 JACK THOMAS: Now we are practicing
00:00:57.580 --> 00:01:01.669 JACK THOMAS: with 7 different states in 5 weeks.
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.329 JACK THOMAS: How did it happen? It's just a network of people.
00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:13.979 JACK THOMAS: So tonight we're going to be talking about the network of tools that I use, and hopefully, everyone could find the same path for their own happiness.
00:01:14.650 --> 00:01:26.589 JACK THOMAS: I'm gonna start off by just giving a great thanks to Emily Schulman. She taught me a new concept the other day. And I'm gonna Google, this right? And for my age group, right? I'm doing. Research
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:28.710 JACK THOMAS: me write this one down. What was this
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:29.940 JACK THOMAS: body?
00:01:30.370 --> 00:01:31.450 JACK THOMAS: Doubling.
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:34.640 JACK THOMAS: narrow, divergent.
00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:37.820 JACK THOMAS: alright.
00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:45.710 JACK THOMAS: So to all my guests
00:01:46.210 --> 00:01:48.740 JACK THOMAS: of the future of the past.
00:01:49.940 --> 00:01:52.270 JACK THOMAS: This is what sums it up pretty much.
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:55.530 JACK THOMAS: Emily Schulman is 25 years old.
00:01:55.610 --> 00:01:57.950 JACK THOMAS: I couldn't focus on something the other day.
00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:07.900 JACK THOMAS: and she said, Hey, let's just hop on our onedrive, actually Google Drive and the shared document. And within 10 min she had me completely focused.
00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:12.060 JACK THOMAS: And then she said, Oh, that was just body doubling. So I'm gonna read this out. Loud
00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:17.539 JACK THOMAS: body doubling is a technique that involves working with another person to accomplish a task
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:23.550 JACK THOMAS: right? Like, I sound like, I'm a genius body doubling, neuro divergent. None of us say
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:43.289 JACK THOMAS: geniuses. We're all everyday people. That's who we represent coming out of New York City and everyday people doesn't mean that it's not someone who is worth over 100 million dollars or someone who is driving a bus. They're human beings. These are the people that we talk to every day. But they're living extraordinary lives. How do they go about doing it?
00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:45.490 JACK THOMAS: Number one, listening?
00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:59.149 JACK THOMAS: That's gonna be part of the skill set that we're gonna be talking about at the happy spot. And hopefully, people can learn. So from the listening skill, what we're talking, having tools, Youtube, huge. Everybody.
00:02:59.150 --> 00:03:18.270 JACK THOMAS: We all know that. But our music, which we can listen on spotify. But Youtube is going to give you the bind neural beats. It's going to give you a different layer of sounds you can listen to. That's how I've been now using it at work. Thanks, Emily, for teaching me the concept of body doubling and happy spot. It's as simple as that.
00:03:18.570 --> 00:03:22.479 JACK THOMAS: I talk to people. They're gonna travel around the world. They're gonna go here, go there and
00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:24.459 JACK THOMAS: listen. I live in New Jersey.
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:31.889 JACK THOMAS: I work in New York. People want to come visit us. Why can't we just be happy here now? We all see the news
00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:34.960 JACK THOMAS: right reading the New York Post every day for 50 years.
00:03:35.260 --> 00:03:38.299 JACK THOMAS: It reminds me, let's go back 50 years ago.
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.599 JACK THOMAS: And so that's what I like to try and do is kind of flip-flop
00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:46.939 JACK THOMAS: 45 years ago, 50 years ago, and go from point of time to time.
00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:48.649 JACK THOMAS: So I'm just going to play
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.160 JACK THOMAS: the network
00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:58.850 JACK THOMAS: right? Because people are all in their business groups today are all networking. And when I hear that word networking as being a neurodevergin person. This is the part
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:05.119 JACK THOMAS: that I'm listening to what I'm hearing about networking. And hopefully, this will inspire people about
00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:09.159 JACK THOMAS: biohacking into mental wellness. So let's take a listen for a movie.
00:06:21.390 --> 00:06:23.159 JACK THOMAS: Hello, everybody coming back
00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:27.440 JACK THOMAS: mad is hell! Not going to take it anymore. Networking
00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:41.420 JACK THOMAS: when I'm listening to people all day. Everybody. They're mad as hell. That's from 50 years ago, 1976, listening to that movie that newscaster could be today story. It's also similar.
00:06:41.530 --> 00:06:42.950 JACK THOMAS: Nothing's changed.
00:06:43.270 --> 00:07:00.130 JACK THOMAS: Well, we can change. And that's what the happy spot is about. We do one person at a time. We do one radio show at a time. We're gonna provide you the tools, pools number one, you can go right out to Linkedin. Go to the happy spot. The remedy is there, and we'll talk about what the remedy is.
00:07:00.150 --> 00:07:02.999 JACK THOMAS: we want to give it away for free
00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:25.990 JACK THOMAS: for free. Now keep in mind this is New York City, and we are a capitalist society, and we do like to make money, how we make money you could sign up, join the happy spot. What do you get? You get your own therapist? How much $89 a month. How do we do it? We make sure you live a well life pretty simple. What do we do? Provide you the tools and the network. Who are we?
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:47.569 JACK THOMAS: We're people that live and breathe right next door to you. And we're all thinking the same thing. Just no one knows how to say it. My job and my purpose in life. I am a vessel. I just listen to other people and allow that information to pass along. So who's gonna hop in? Who's gonna jump in? Think about it? That's what we're looking for. We're looking for people that will be active using their tools
00:07:48.010 --> 00:07:52.149 JACK THOMAS: on active listening. We'll be exchanging this with our
00:07:53.310 --> 00:07:57.760 JACK THOMAS: our employees. That's gonna be the next topic I'm gonna roll into today.
00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:02.900 JACK THOMAS: So there's this concept. And again, I'm using a 50 min, a 50 year window
00:08:03.090 --> 00:08:15.170 JACK THOMAS: point to point. So as I pose the question networking 50 years ago, the news? The world is miserable. What can you do to be happy? You're one person. We're going to provide you the tools, the next step.
00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:16.379 JACK THOMAS: Who can help
00:08:16.570 --> 00:08:21.959 JACK THOMAS: employers, employees, or here's the new word entrepreneur.
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.590 JACK THOMAS: Somebody called me an entrepreneur the other day
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:33.839 JACK THOMAS: I took it as an insult coming from where I came from in New York. We didn't even know what the word. We can't spell the word entrepreneur. We just hustle doing business. We just look to do good.
00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:35.260 JACK THOMAS: But
00:08:35.929 --> 00:08:45.699 JACK THOMAS: tax rules changed. I'm not going to get into the old tax rules, but there are tax benefits for the corporations that call us up. But here we are at 2024 people are mad as hell.
00:08:46.270 --> 00:09:05.790 JACK THOMAS: How about? Let's use happiness? We tried using fighting through in the forties. We see Ivan Bowski just passed away. There's a generation of Wall Street that is passing away, where money was made and the new generation 2425. My kids, my kids, friends, the Fentanyl crisis, and they're teaching us. Hey?
00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.679 JACK THOMAS: What can you teach us? Come to the happy spot.
00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:11.149 JACK THOMAS: get your own therapist. No problem.
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.879 JACK THOMAS: We're just looking to do good.
00:09:13.070 --> 00:09:17.320 JACK THOMAS: We're going to talk about some examples this week that the happy spot's been involved with
00:09:17.800 --> 00:09:25.470 JACK THOMAS: Queens, new York. There's a Place Alley Pond Sanctuary. They sponsored a wellness visit. We'll get into that in a little bit.
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:29.089 JACK THOMAS: I know. I seem as though it's on a little bit of a random.
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:37.189 JACK THOMAS: but to me that's how a nerd, divergent person works. It's all in their mind going at one time. Can you receive the information?
00:09:37.420 --> 00:09:40.590 JACK THOMAS: You want to be happy? Just do it in where you're sitting.
00:09:40.650 --> 00:09:42.899 JACK THOMAS: How do you get there? There's tools
00:09:42.930 --> 00:09:43.980 JACK THOMAS: found.
00:09:44.030 --> 00:09:45.710 JACK THOMAS: Jump on the happy spot.
00:09:45.790 --> 00:09:54.949 JACK THOMAS: We're going to have different speakers bio-acing. Last week we had Dr. Krieger, there's going to be a machine that can measure your your cells
00:09:55.060 --> 00:09:57.620 JACK THOMAS: right down to your cell of your body.
00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:05.710 JACK THOMAS: Years ago we didn't even know what to sell look like we. We didn't have microscopes 40 years ago that you could really look now today that they could watch everything you're doing
00:10:05.780 --> 00:10:09.689 JACK THOMAS: from from Mars coming right down and seeing where you're at
00:10:11.190 --> 00:10:27.149 JACK THOMAS: networking. I listen to that show. It's that movie. It's really amazing. Listening to it. The one thing that I find interesting. That was different is the word steel, belted radials, and for those of you that know me I come from the automotive world, and I laugh. Steel belted radials
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:36.979 JACK THOMAS: back then. Used to get 50,000 miles on a tire. Now, today, if you get 25,000, you're lucky, and that's because the tires work better.
00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:39.169 JACK THOMAS: perform faster.
00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:44.020 JACK THOMAS: But are you getting happiness from it? Some people do, some people don't.
00:10:45.310 --> 00:10:52.350 JACK THOMAS: but we all want to look for our happy spot how to go about doing it, just breathing, exchanging the ideas with people.
00:10:52.660 --> 00:10:56.479 JACK THOMAS: the happy spot where in 7 states we're priding ourselves on that right now.
00:10:57.020 --> 00:10:57.940 JACK THOMAS: Could we do it?
00:10:58.470 --> 00:11:06.830 JACK THOMAS: We connected with other businesses. We were fortunate we had John Lukanis on. We're going to be following back with him. He's traveling around the world raising funds.
00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:15.260 JACK THOMAS: We had Frank and and Ryan Marr, the dental business, biohacking, looking at things with a different vantage point.
00:11:15.290 --> 00:11:19.529 JACK THOMAS: How can you take advantage of it. If you want, you could reach out to the
00:11:20.570 --> 00:11:29.369 JACK THOMAS: it's Nyc radio at the happy spot you can email us. And if you have ideas that you think will be relevant that should be out here, that we should be sharing
00:11:30.468 --> 00:11:41.190 JACK THOMAS: we had Dr. Donna fantastic doctor in New Jersey been practicing family medicine for years, helping us get on here and supporting the wellness movement.
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.490 JACK THOMAS: So it's people. It's a philosophy. And and it starts with you.
00:11:48.384 --> 00:11:51.970 JACK THOMAS: I'm gonna be moving to break in a moment. So I'm just gonna plant the seed.
00:11:52.090 --> 00:11:56.970 JACK THOMAS: What is driving all of the employees miserable?
00:11:56.990 --> 00:12:06.589 JACK THOMAS: Why is absenteeism on the rise. Why are doctors stressed out? And for employers who's measuring the money they're doing it in Europe.
00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:17.029 JACK THOMAS: We in America started the happiness movement. They're doing it in Europe, and we're going to be bringing those opportunities here into the United States. I'm going to move
00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:18.540 JACK THOMAS: to
00:12:19.081 --> 00:12:21.189 JACK THOMAS: Break right now. But please note. The
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:30.930 JACK THOMAS: 40 Megahertz are the sound behind there, using that for focus and just sharing with some of our scenarios that go on. Be back in a moment. Thank you.
00:14:31.090 --> 00:14:31.860 JACK THOMAS: Thank you.
00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:39.520 JACK THOMAS: Thank you, everybody for joining and coming back.
00:14:40.180 --> 00:14:42.690 JACK THOMAS: This is the happy spot with Jack Thomas.
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:47.170 JACK THOMAS: We bio hack. Someone asked me the other day. What is Bio Hacking?
00:14:47.510 --> 00:14:54.370 JACK THOMAS: I said. Think of the biological changes when I'm 57, when I was a kid you didn't feel well. You went to the doctor
00:14:54.870 --> 00:14:57.650 JACK THOMAS: today. You don't feel well. You go to an urgent care center
00:14:58.160 --> 00:15:00.219 JACK THOMAS: and they send you to 5 doctors.
00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:02.199 JACK THOMAS: The world has changed so much.
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:10.129 JACK THOMAS: But yet still, if we can make it simple, that's why we have the happy spot. We focus on the mind and the wellbeing of people.
00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:18.239 JACK THOMAS: It's the number one thing going on in society businesses in New York employers, large corporations. They get it.
00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:26.080 JACK THOMAS: they get it. I've worked around them, and I won't name names of large corporations, but putting in mental wellness programs.
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:52.979 JACK THOMAS: small businesses. They're always gonna do the best they can, but very family oriented. But it's this middle segment market of business that has changed our society over and over. The automotive industry is very well known, and re forward, creating the assembly line, Toyota and Honda making cars more efficient in the seventies. Today it will happen again. It will be the automotive industry changing the world with the electric cars.
00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:59.480 JACK THOMAS: We as human beings, our minds are gonna have to change internationally. Europe gets it.
00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:10.699 JACK THOMAS: I was fortunate I met a group last year. I wanna say hello to Madeline and Pedro the happy game, and we played a happy game every week. We'll get back to that in a moment.
00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:20.900 JACK THOMAS: but trying to plant that in the mindset, because 50 years ago, at networking, we were screaming a man as hell. And today our generation is telling us our generation, our kids.
00:16:20.910 --> 00:16:27.009 JACK THOMAS: that are 2535 are saying, Hey, you old people that are running the show. Let's try doing it differently.
00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:28.000 JACK THOMAS: though.
00:16:28.290 --> 00:16:31.390 JACK THOMAS: Here's an idea for everybody. I'm just gonna kind of throw out there.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.839 JACK THOMAS: See if we could hop on this?
00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:35.290 JACK THOMAS: No, it'll
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.499 JACK THOMAS: always annoying when technology doesn't want to go your way. It's always fun.
00:16:55.130 --> 00:16:56.329 JACK THOMAS: And it. Just
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.370 JACK THOMAS: try and pause here for a second. Get my
00:17:02.190 --> 00:17:03.129 JACK THOMAS: come back here.
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.319 JACK THOMAS: and we will pause off of the screen and not jump around.
00:17:09.710 --> 00:17:10.859 JACK THOMAS: Excuse me for that
00:17:11.369 --> 00:17:15.049 JACK THOMAS: the the concept I was trying to to bring into play here
00:17:16.020 --> 00:17:17.070 JACK THOMAS: in Europe.
00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:23.169 JACK THOMAS: They get it. There is an international recognized psychology.
00:17:23.930 --> 00:17:34.759 JACK THOMAS: and and I'm drawing a blank on how to pronounce it, but it it there's an issue, and Osha knows about it, and they're providing some rules for some of the employers that can handle this.
00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:38.839 JACK THOMAS: So employers their rules that are out there employees.
00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:42.640 JACK THOMAS: Since you're never told anything you could join the happy spot. We'll tell you.
00:17:42.790 --> 00:17:51.103 JACK THOMAS: We'll tell you what your mental wellness benefits are. If you don't have mental wellness, benefits will help you get signed up. We also have a group
00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:54.180 JACK THOMAS: in Queens, the Alley Pond sanctuary
00:17:54.300 --> 00:18:07.580 JACK THOMAS: that they don't. Th. They're out of New York. But they're part of the global wellness. And that's what this is about is focusing local. They heard about a young girl trying to commit suicide. 14 years old.
00:18:07.850 --> 00:18:10.339 JACK THOMAS: Bergen County upscale neighborhood.
00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:17.290 JACK THOMAS: It's it's hitting all of us. It doesn't matter whether you have money. You don't have money. The anxiety is there.
00:18:18.130 --> 00:18:24.750 JACK THOMAS: There are different ways to go about it. We have school systems that are looking for help. We have kids looking for help.
00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:33.460 JACK THOMAS: So ellipt sanctuary, they were kind enough. They paid for Yoga sessions for the daughter to go. They're having breathing sessions at
00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:38.419 JACK THOMAS: What is village yoga in Glen Rock, New Jersey?
00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:48.640 JACK THOMAS: Julie, the manager, did a great job in coordinating with Allie Pond so that they could pay for the classes and not naming the young lady, just giving them courtesy and privacy.
00:18:48.650 --> 00:19:09.000 JACK THOMAS: But it takes a community, that's what we're doing it, doing it worldwide. When I say worldwide, we're just in New York and New Jersey. We're in 7 states. We have our relationships with the octopus movement. We have our relationships with other businesses. And they're saying, Hey, we want to get into the States. We want to bring our happy products in. How do we go about doing it?
00:19:09.020 --> 00:19:10.060 JACK THOMAS: We network.
00:19:10.350 --> 00:19:19.160 JACK THOMAS: we're implementers. So the people that are coming to us are already having success. We're not looking for daydreams. We're not looking for. Yeah, we believe it'll happen.
00:19:19.470 --> 00:19:22.119 JACK THOMAS: What does that mean this past year
00:19:22.870 --> 00:19:30.530 JACK THOMAS: at the happy spot we're involved with another company called Smiti Mcjangers. They had negotiated insurance discounts
00:19:30.990 --> 00:19:33.269 JACK THOMAS: approaching insurance companies. If
00:19:33.430 --> 00:19:45.659 JACK THOMAS: the company brings on a chief happiness officer, will you discount the premium? Each State does it differently, and the answer is yes, so on a corporate level it has already been proven. If you bring a chief happiness officer
00:19:45.660 --> 00:20:04.720 JACK THOMAS: into your corporate structure, you could have them as a part time person, they will give you a discount on your insurance premium. How do we know we've done it 3 times already? Question is, do you qualify. So that's Mini Mcjangers yet have to go. Speak to them. I'm affiliated with them so I could connect you, and they'll help arrange for that.
00:20:05.890 --> 00:20:09.049 JACK THOMAS: Let's go back to this networking. So what does the network look like?
00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:12.409 JACK THOMAS: So for us, the network looks like one person at a time.
00:20:13.300 --> 00:20:18.770 JACK THOMAS: We're now in 7 states. So in those 7 states, we're really hoping over the next
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:22.839 JACK THOMAS: 5 months that will be in 21 States. And growing.
00:20:23.250 --> 00:20:32.059 JACK THOMAS: what do we do we bring happiness to employers, employees, and now our new work to share with everybody an entrepreneur. I started off earlier, saying.
00:20:32.130 --> 00:20:45.199 JACK THOMAS: where I come from at a New York and entrepreneur. It's it's almost insulting to call us. We're all entrepreneurs every day. Somebody in New York is looking to make a buck or a hustle, and I don't mean it in a negative light. It's just, you know the way it is
00:20:45.614 --> 00:20:51.209 JACK THOMAS: but the word entrepreneur I found very interesting, and I was introduced to this from a woman. Yvonne Dom.
00:20:52.530 --> 00:20:59.239 JACK THOMAS: I've been utilizing her as a corporate coach for the past year and a half highly recommend her services.
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.560 JACK THOMAS: She's in Barcelona, Spain.
00:21:02.090 --> 00:21:06.490 JACK THOMAS: But she said to me one day, You know, you focus so local.
00:21:06.996 --> 00:21:09.750 JACK THOMAS: Have you read this book? And it's it's about
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:12.510 JACK THOMAS: being local, but yet on a global scale.
00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:29.869 JACK THOMAS: So Yvonne gets it because she's worked in that corporate environment. And we're gonna have her come and speak in July in New York City. So if any interest in actually getting to meet this woman, that is the entrepreneur of entrepreneurs, the book talks about an entrepreneur. And that's being intra international.
00:21:29.970 --> 00:21:37.569 JACK THOMAS: And because of technology today, we can do this, we can exchange. We could grow, we can share. We could build and be happy
00:21:37.850 --> 00:21:42.869 JACK THOMAS: now, sometimes an employer at work. I don't care whether my employees are happy. This is a conversation I have.
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.360 JACK THOMAS: and
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.650 JACK THOMAS: I don't get into, whether they should care or not.
00:21:47.800 --> 00:21:57.050 JACK THOMAS: We just know that the numbers prove that if you take care of the culture and part of that is being happy, we know that here are the tools that will work.
00:21:57.910 --> 00:21:59.710 JACK THOMAS: It's that simple. Sometimes
00:21:59.810 --> 00:22:02.480 JACK THOMAS: people like, I gotta put in this whole grand scheme.
00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:03.640 JACK THOMAS: be nice.
00:22:04.330 --> 00:22:16.810 JACK THOMAS: Now, the problem is, sometimes people don't know how to be nice. And then when you come out of New York, you have all different cultures. You have a hundred 70 different countries coming in. You have the United Nations. So how do? How do you learn to be nice?
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.800 JACK THOMAS: It begins like here at the happy spot. We teach etiquette and discipline.
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:24.010 JACK THOMAS: We're focused on 3 different groups.
00:22:24.230 --> 00:22:40.600 JACK THOMAS: Group number one, our happy ambassadors. They're each 24 to 39. They're growing in the world of the business world, and they're struggling trying to communicate with people that are 10 years older. We help facilitate those conversations. That's part of that mental wellness.
00:22:40.630 --> 00:22:56.729 JACK THOMAS: We also target and work with family offices. Family offices are the privately held companies. We have companies, 100 million dollar corporations, and they're just not in alignment with everything in the news. They'll say, Larry, I know you read the New York Post, but I read a different paper. I don't agree with you.
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:13.120 JACK THOMAS: But yet we can have those conversations without having it public and having it out in a fight. We're not on. We're not going out on Facebook or on these other channels. We're a network part of our network, also as an organization called the Guild, that in New York City that targets the automotive industry.
00:23:13.690 --> 00:23:25.250 JACK THOMAS: And we have different people that are working and representing the National Auto Dealer Association. The Guild is an automotive industry focus on transportation and looking at carbon credits.
00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:28.840 JACK THOMAS: Why all this information?
00:23:29.070 --> 00:23:55.999 JACK THOMAS: Well, part of this, Emily, I know, is ultimately going to be cutting up different pieces of this, and we're using this as branding and getting out into the marketplace. We're fortunate that New York City radio gets it on. The idea of we need to have alternative voices out there and talk radio, dot. Nyc. You could not only hear my voice, but you could hear Sam Lee's that has been doing this for a very long time, and we're just fortunate that we could have the freedom of communication.
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:02.099 JACK THOMAS: as we see people around the world don't always have that full freedom of communication and the free forming of it.
00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:28.140 JACK THOMAS: the happy spot. The main focus is being a large corporation targeting the large, corpor sorry targeting large corporations that want to bring wellness into their employees. These, we're gonna look at 100 million dollar corporations. We're looking at tax benefits, tax savings. So when they implement and they use our program, there's not an additional fee built into it. If anything.
00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:31.509 JACK THOMAS: our goal is to help you increase your attendance
00:24:31.530 --> 00:24:34.470 JACK THOMAS: while not increasing your costs, how do we do it?
00:24:34.550 --> 00:24:47.370 JACK THOMAS: We work with your insurance carriers that are already existing in place. We work with your tax financial professionals. Our job is to help the company grow. How do we use it? Technology tools, simple stuff.
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:53.209 JACK THOMAS: We're talking Youtube. We're talking Linkedin. We don't have to overinvent anything. Now, it's a matter of
00:24:53.420 --> 00:25:08.869 JACK THOMAS: managing the time. That's gonna be the second portion of the show. It's gonna be what I'm gonna call is a book called Time Wars. There'll be simple books. Right now we're on the topic of entrepreneur and the globe. What is that? The global class is the name of the book.
00:25:09.761 --> 00:25:26.059 JACK THOMAS: It's a worldwide book. That, for if you're a business today, it allows you to focus local. But you could dream the dreams. And that's part of where society, in my opinion, has gone wrong. Where we tell every kid live your dream. Go, do your dream, go! Live your dream. But they're not really given all the tools.
00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:44.220 JACK THOMAS: and that's kinda hard, especially like, be an entrepreneur. Now we have entrepreneur teaching in school. But the schools themselves. I'm not gonna go down the road, whether I'm pro or con what is going on. But we all know that if you're gonna come out into business, who's gonna be your guide, your leader, your priest, your rabbi, your guru.
00:25:44.480 --> 00:26:00.529 JACK THOMAS: and that's what we do with the happy spot I like to share with people and the guru of happiness. I had the good fortune of Dr. Mark Lund and his partner, Liz, bringing them into the United States. Say, Dr. Mark, nice always seeing you, Dr. Do not, is out doing her thing and bringing happiness.
00:26:02.110 --> 00:26:13.580 JACK THOMAS: And you know Dr. Donna is just a great example, because she has a 11 year old daughter Scotland. I got to go see Scotland and a kid printer out in Morristown at a school that she's at.
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:29.620 JACK THOMAS: That's where the success begins. Now we have to do this consistently. So we need large corporations involved. We need it getting down to the employees. The States already in New York and New Jersey are providing these laws. Nobody knows about them. Even the employees are afraid of them.
00:26:29.670 --> 00:26:37.790 JACK THOMAS: We, our job is to educate our mental wellness. Let you know that the States are providing the dollars for it. Why not take advantage of it?
00:26:37.890 --> 00:26:50.999 JACK THOMAS: If you join us, it's $89 a month. This information is what we provide. But if you can't afford the $89 a month, you could head it right out to Linkedin at the happy spot. You go see Jack Thomas, the remedy is listed right there.
00:26:51.290 --> 00:26:56.580 JACK THOMAS: Dr. Donna, she put that together. That's a formula that's in lieu of taking a medicine.
00:26:56.630 --> 00:26:57.720 JACK THOMAS: What does that mean?
00:26:57.950 --> 00:27:06.239 JACK THOMAS: Most people, when they have anxiety or they're stressed out. They go to. The doctor happened to me 25 years ago. First thing that the doctor did write a prescription.
00:27:06.970 --> 00:27:09.410 JACK THOMAS: Fortunately for me, because I have an addictive
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:22.690 JACK THOMAS: nature, I had friends of mine that coach me off of the prescription. I'm not here to tell people whether they should take prescriptions or not. I'm just saying there's an alternative, doctor. Note to not provided the remedy, and the trick to the remedy
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:40.970 JACK THOMAS: is having somebody that is a doctor that you're working with. We're not here to give medical information, never our job. But we're getting the medical community to wake up and say, there are alternative ways to approach it again. What makes this park radio? Nyc, we are the leaders around the world. When it comes to health.
00:27:41.450 --> 00:27:49.170 JACK THOMAS: I'll touch upon that in the near future. We're going to get into the time. But the goal today is to remind everybody the tools
00:27:49.780 --> 00:27:59.879 JACK THOMAS: to the tools, to wellness, go to Youtube. You could Google, the happy spot Jack Thomas, and other scenarios will come up. You could use the Youtube spotify for your own sound waves.
00:28:00.780 --> 00:28:22.329 JACK THOMAS: We're gonna be writing some of these things up. But in the meanwhile, out on the happy spot, you can go right out to Jeff or Thomas. If I'm repeating myself, I'm doing it on purpose, because sometimes it's the repetition of what people here, and sometimes it's that simple today at the happy spot. We're not reinventing the wheel. We do represent insurance companies. We do represent a variety of different
00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:32.070 JACK THOMAS: companies, but it starts off with, Hey, how do we get happy. How do we go about doing it? How do we figure this out for our employees? And the rule is.
00:28:32.100 --> 00:28:36.799 JACK THOMAS: other companies are already doing it. Now, how do you implement it? And that's what I do.
00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:44.709 JACK THOMAS: I come in and I implement it. We're not gonna reinvent. The wheel. United States has been working on this for a dozen years. There are a bunch of companies out there.
00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:48.149 JACK THOMAS: but no one's no one's getting there yet.
00:28:48.190 --> 00:28:55.530 JACK THOMAS: so we're gonna break off into a break right now, and we'll be back in a moment, and we'll pick up on time wars. Thank you so much.
00:30:57.320 --> 00:30:58.540 JACK THOMAS: Welcome back everybody.
00:30:59.970 --> 00:31:02.089 JACK THOMAS: Jack Thomas, at the happy spot
00:31:05.290 --> 00:31:06.980 JACK THOMAS: sitting in New York City today
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:08.930 JACK THOMAS: taking the beauty of it.
00:31:11.340 --> 00:31:13.479 JACK THOMAS: Topic of this segment is time.
00:31:14.790 --> 00:31:19.649 JACK THOMAS: So in my mind I could roll back in time when I started working with my dad as a kid.
00:31:20.490 --> 00:31:22.269 JACK THOMAS: and then there was the neighbor.
00:31:23.070 --> 00:31:23.790 JACK THOMAS: and
00:31:23.930 --> 00:31:26.699 JACK THOMAS: you always had a chance to hear what they had to say
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.350 JACK THOMAS: nowadays. Seems like neighbors don't want to talk as much. Everyone's so busy they don't have the time.
00:31:33.150 --> 00:31:34.960 JACK THOMAS: But when they originally came out
00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:41.920 JACK THOMAS: with computers, the whole goal of the computer was, save more time to have more things to do.
00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:49.530 JACK THOMAS: So 1984. Dr. Spleen was in college only book a safe from college. I wasn't a great student
00:31:50.370 --> 00:31:56.569 JACK THOMAS: time wars, and it was talking about in 1984, as computers were just coming into the business world.
00:31:57.510 --> 00:31:59.090 JACK THOMAS: and it was going to speed up
00:31:59.360 --> 00:32:00.780 JACK THOMAS: the movement of
00:32:01.090 --> 00:32:02.620 JACK THOMAS: business and time.
00:32:03.020 --> 00:32:06.800 JACK THOMAS: Well, human nature, we just are naturally competitive.
00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:11.254 JACK THOMAS: and it's been proven with all the new technology that
00:32:11.810 --> 00:32:15.140 JACK THOMAS: our survival skill set is always to try and win.
00:32:15.250 --> 00:32:28.500 JACK THOMAS: And so against the computer. We were never able to train the discipline of how to use our time with the computer. And now everyone talks about life balance.
00:32:28.870 --> 00:32:32.199 JACK THOMAS: Who knows what life balance is, unless you have the discipline
00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:34.920 JACK THOMAS: to have the etiquette to use the time.
00:32:35.020 --> 00:32:37.009 JACK THOMAS: And so, for example.
00:32:37.210 --> 00:32:47.460 JACK THOMAS: I now have to have 2 phones, because I have 2 different businesses and the 2 different businesses like different software. So where things were supposed to be easier now, it's time
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:57.620 JACK THOMAS: time and technology. Now watch as I shift this, it's also time with generational discussions. So at 57,
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:05.490 JACK THOMAS: our generational time was built off of a clock and around circle, which is how people measure time.
00:33:05.610 --> 00:33:11.359 JACK THOMAS: my kids at 25. Their measurement of time is the same thing off the phone right there.
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:12.639 JACK THOMAS: And and we're all
00:33:12.780 --> 00:33:13.930 JACK THOMAS: no different than
00:33:13.970 --> 00:33:19.979 JACK THOMAS: then, our kids. It's the phone is now our timekeeper, and that timekeeper is constantly going.
00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:27.270 JACK THOMAS: So what do we do with the happy spot? We practice different disciplines on how just to breathe to contain our time.
00:33:27.550 --> 00:33:33.030 JACK THOMAS: It has been proven. If you could take 10 min in the morning, 10 min in the afternoon
00:33:33.050 --> 00:33:38.890 JACK THOMAS: to settle in your mind. It will help you in other areas of trying to settle yourself in.
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:44.560 JACK THOMAS: I sat with a gentleman the other day, OP. Sales guy in the, in, the.
00:33:44.830 --> 00:33:50.800 JACK THOMAS: in, the, in selling a product doesn't matter, and but an important product.
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:57.609 JACK THOMAS: And I, he said, how do you stay so calm at work, I said, just breathing. Do this for 10 min.
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.680 JACK THOMAS: I can't do that, I said. Just try.
00:34:00.890 --> 00:34:02.840 JACK THOMAS: 3 days later, checked with him.
00:34:03.230 --> 00:34:13.709 JACK THOMAS: It it's not enough of his pain. And that's part of the problem in our society is we wait until we have all this pain, and the pain is so great, and then we go to the doctor, and then you get the prescription.
00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:21.730 JACK THOMAS: Daddy, be proactive. You have to have employers that are Yogi-like thinkers. What is yogi-like.
00:34:22.412 --> 00:34:35.387 JACK THOMAS: Yogi, like is people that want to do well for others doesn't mean yoga, though. Martial artists. I think Bruce Lee was one of the greatest people wanting to try and do well for the world in fighting
00:34:36.870 --> 00:34:40.570 JACK THOMAS: could have been yoga like. Now some people say he was a fighter, or he was a warrior.
00:34:40.580 --> 00:34:46.889 JACK THOMAS: But if you listen to Yogi people, and I do both, and study martial arts, and Yoga, you hear the word warrior.
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:52.660 JACK THOMAS: The conflict. Which are you a warrior fighter, or are you a warrior in Yoga in breathing?
00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:55.089 JACK THOMAS: How about just be a warrior and be nice?
00:34:55.139 --> 00:35:03.100 JACK THOMAS: That's sometimes the hardest thing to do, you know, is amazing. People always say, Oh, from New York you're not so nice. You're not so nice. But when 9 11 happened
00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:09.669 JACK THOMAS: we were the nicest people in the world, and everybody in the world wanted to come together because it was so tragic.
00:35:09.950 --> 00:35:17.940 JACK THOMAS: Well, hopefully, the whole world can see, we're all tragic right now. I don't care where you are in the world. It is a mental catastrophe.
00:35:18.810 --> 00:35:23.399 JACK THOMAS: We're not the only one saying and seeing it. But we're going to be the ones helping to implement it.
00:35:24.550 --> 00:35:45.650 JACK THOMAS: We're fortunate we have an R or X benefit. It is not health insurance related. All of our employees get a mental wellness, they get access to their own therapy, they get access to a health advocate. What does health advocate look like? Like? I said earlier, I was a kid growing up. I had one doctor I went to, and whatever he said you did now today you go to Urgent care center. They send you to 5 doctors.
00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:54.696 JACK THOMAS: Who knows if they're right or wrong, everyone just follows the rules. Well, we're going to give you access to a health advocate, and you could go have your own
00:35:55.060 --> 00:36:02.589 JACK THOMAS: information figure out, because no one knows. And the key part we suggest to people is, have that mental wellness put into place
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.760 JACK THOMAS: and have that checked in. So from a time perspective.
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.170 JACK THOMAS: how do? How do you change your mind on time?
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:13.359 JACK THOMAS: Step, one is saying, hey, you know what?
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:20.800 JACK THOMAS: I'm not going to have my phone in in the bedroom at night as silly as it sounds. I'm no better. I'm still reading the newspaper at night.
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:27.909 JACK THOMAS: trying to take that phone and not having it near you, and just do it for 3 days. Just try and do it for yourself.
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.709 JACK THOMAS: and that's where we're going to plan on changing the world and making our suggestions.
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.040 JACK THOMAS: It starts with you one step at a time. 10 min of just breathing.
00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:42.380 JACK THOMAS: taking that technology of that phone, using some of the binaural beats.
00:36:42.390 --> 00:36:49.240 JACK THOMAS: joining the happy ambassadors, being a young professional, understanding the etiquette and then, having a place where it's safe.
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:51.450 JACK THOMAS: where you can ask your questions.
00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:58.740 JACK THOMAS: I met a young group of people today in Yoga class going. Oh, my God! Why don't I know about this?
00:36:58.750 --> 00:37:02.290 JACK THOMAS: It's because you you know I
00:37:02.630 --> 00:37:09.755 JACK THOMAS: it it. It's the world that's just coming together. It seems as though the timing is just right where the world is at that breaking point.
00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:26.019 JACK THOMAS: Europe has been doing this for a long time. America has been doing a lot of different things. But let's now implement it. Let's get the mental wellness right? Because if we get that right, we'll get everything else to fall in place. It's in the mind. We also have all these new ways
00:37:26.070 --> 00:37:29.560 JACK THOMAS: tools that are out there between the Youtube Linkedin.
00:37:29.570 --> 00:37:37.989 JACK THOMAS: It's the tools. And it's our job as generational leaders. If you're CEO of corporation, your Cfo. It's your job
00:37:38.160 --> 00:37:46.080 JACK THOMAS: right? Just like that your job. And and your job's not just to make the money, and everyone knows that. But now, what can we do
00:37:46.120 --> 00:37:48.239 JACK THOMAS: for our employees?
00:37:48.600 --> 00:37:51.180 JACK THOMAS: Now? Your entrepreneurs are you're a separate game.
00:37:51.190 --> 00:38:04.230 JACK THOMAS: right? You should be looking at all of these opportunities of Hey as an entrepreneur. What else can I do to make money? I saw there was a company over in Portugal last year. They have a great team building academy going on. So
00:38:04.660 --> 00:38:07.030 JACK THOMAS: why are we not seeing more of that going on?
00:38:07.430 --> 00:38:16.839 JACK THOMAS: Maybe it is but having entrepreneurs talking with other entrepreneurs to exchange their ideas on mental wellness and with the focus.
00:38:17.680 --> 00:38:20.382 JACK THOMAS: It's standard for coming out of New York.
00:38:20.810 --> 00:38:23.350 JACK THOMAS: the doctors, it seems that's how they work.
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:38.080 JACK THOMAS: And that's what I'm gonna get into on our next segment and how we can co share information, and how I grew up, seeing that with in different medical communities and talking with different doctors on your wellness, your physical wellness, and your mental wellness
00:38:39.390 --> 00:38:52.240 JACK THOMAS: from time. What are other areas with time that you can look at. I learned a great one from a great coach. Kevin Schulman. 30 years been teaching coaching. Call it the 20 min contract.
00:38:52.440 --> 00:39:01.899 JACK THOMAS: If you know, you gotta do something at work. You don't want to do it, but make the 20 min contract with yourself and say, I'm just going to spend 20 min to do this. One thing I really don't like.
00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:04.210 JACK THOMAS: You're done
00:39:04.620 --> 00:39:11.250 JACK THOMAS: right. Sometimes we could spend 2 h in our mind saying, Oh, if I did this, I got. But I have to do this now and justify that.
00:39:11.290 --> 00:39:16.179 JACK THOMAS: So it's the mind. How do we learn to contain our mind? We talk about breathing
00:39:16.730 --> 00:39:30.599 JACK THOMAS: 20 min contract using that 20 min, 10 min. Some of this stuff seems so basic and and and and basic. Well, good people, right? Right? This is this is the good things that are going on.
00:39:30.680 --> 00:39:41.940 JACK THOMAS: Now, how's the State come into play? We have to look at not just businesses, but the States. The States. If I take New York State Department of Labor, they've made it a new rule that you have to give. 20 min breaks after a certain period of time.
00:39:41.970 --> 00:39:44.189 JACK THOMAS: Why 20 min? Why not 15?
00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:58.249 JACK THOMAS: I don't know. I don't know the rules to the answer, but let's say, Hey, if the employers are saying you have to give 20 min breaks. Why can't we have a break room someplace where they used to have break rooms where someone could have a mental, a Zen room
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:01.400 JACK THOMAS: 20 min of zent to themselves.
00:40:01.670 --> 00:40:09.209 JACK THOMAS: Maybe we could find some wellness in those communities and find so find find some performance going on with the business aspect of it.
00:40:10.010 --> 00:40:21.130 JACK THOMAS: It's about the time, because in the business we want to do it faster and quicker. But I'm also learning through the younger generation. Sometimes, if we could just stop, take a breath.
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:28.359 JACK THOMAS: breathe. Talk about a couple of these things in exchanging that generation because they see technology different than us
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.680 JACK THOMAS: right? It's the body doubling
00:40:34.910 --> 00:40:53.079 JACK THOMAS: there. I've just learned or divergent. The body doubling is when I'm working with a tool online with somebody else easier to focus and easier to exchange that information versus where you have a lot of people at work that are just mentally frustrated. I told them how to do it, but they didn't listen to me.
00:40:53.250 --> 00:41:05.070 JACK THOMAS: Well, you told them, but maybe you both had it connect a little better. It was they were trying to listen, but they may not have heard you. And so it's a communication gap that goes on in those scenarios.
00:41:05.180 --> 00:41:14.920 JACK THOMAS: And as leaders, it's our responsibility to make sure that we're getting it, and at the same time giving the generation that's younger than us permission to speak up.
00:41:15.670 --> 00:41:36.180 JACK THOMAS: I've I've had that good fortune again with Emily this past week. In empowering her to speak up and and and really handling things. And it's just so great to see how that ha happens. We're now gonna be bringing on a new intern. A woman named Sarah. I didn't get Sarah's last name, but she's gonna get connected with Emily.
00:41:36.330 --> 00:41:39.119 JACK THOMAS: Emily was heading up the benefits program
00:41:39.130 --> 00:41:45.489 JACK THOMAS: because the time that it took for me to do all the different things I need to have an employee right. I need to have
00:41:45.650 --> 00:41:53.800 JACK THOMAS: a contracted individual like in Emily cause. Emily reminds me she's not an employee, but she's 1099. She has her own business, and
00:41:54.270 --> 00:42:01.050 JACK THOMAS: you know. Sometimes we get caught up in in how we see things, but wanna make sure that we're seeing it together as a team.
00:42:02.680 --> 00:42:09.180 JACK THOMAS: I spent a lot of time with Emily, because she's just been a great new addition in my professional life which is allowing us
00:42:09.220 --> 00:42:27.670 JACK THOMAS: in the 7 States. So that'll be the topic we're gonna roll into. What are we doing in those 7 States? What does that look like for our employees our employees are all somehow connected with us in a variety of ways, and we'll be back in just a moment. Thanks everyone. Jack Thomas, at the happy spot.
00:44:34.930 --> 00:44:36.730 JACK THOMAS: Thank you, everybody for coming back.
00:44:46.890 --> 00:44:48.529 JACK THOMAS: I lost my zoom screen.
00:44:51.790 --> 00:44:52.490 JACK THOMAS: skinny.
00:44:53.350 --> 00:44:54.370 JACK THOMAS: There we are.
00:44:55.230 --> 00:44:58.059 JACK THOMAS: Okay. Sorry about that. Thank you. Everybody for coming back.
00:44:58.450 --> 00:45:01.109 JACK THOMAS: Alright. So we're talking about the happy spot.
00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:15.039 JACK THOMAS: We target 3 different types of groups, happy ambassadors, family offices, large corporations that want to make a difference in the world. How do we do it? Simple happiness. We give people a safe space to talk about it.
00:45:15.720 --> 00:45:18.279 JACK THOMAS: Okay, woo, woo, woo! All sounds great.
00:45:18.660 --> 00:45:28.079 JACK THOMAS: We've already negotiated with insurance companies to help businesses get discounts by bringing in new changes. The businesses were bringing in the new changes.
00:45:28.270 --> 00:45:34.439 JACK THOMAS: They didn't know they can get discounts. The insurance companies know that it's an issue out there sooner or later. They're going to catch up.
00:45:34.750 --> 00:45:46.659 JACK THOMAS: What I want to do is take a moment and just share this little bit of a blurb that I picked up from one of our other shows. I think it's just so informative about what is going on internationally.
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:30.020 JACK THOMAS: I'm gonna come back and touch upon the bullying.
00:47:34.700 --> 00:47:51.960 JACK THOMAS: I'm not sure how we can go about fixing the bullying. That's something that goes on. But what we can do is in the happiness, was the young lady that was being bullied in our school. The neuro divergent tried committing suicide. We arranged for
00:47:52.371 --> 00:47:59.079 JACK THOMAS: in a comfort zone young teenage gal to come with her mom to yoga studio, because that was what she wanted to do.
00:47:59.210 --> 00:48:15.100 JACK THOMAS: So we're just everyday people doing local things, but targeting businesses. What makes it different? It's the Rx package. Everybody gets a mental wellness. So when you join a company. Everybody always gets their package.
00:48:15.130 --> 00:48:29.740 JACK THOMAS: Wellness, mental wellness may or may not be in there. Every one of our people get it, and the companies that we work with. Get it, and we educate families on getting it. And if you're a happy ambassador and you're at a large company, and you don't want anyone to know about your mental wellness.
00:48:30.030 --> 00:48:31.969 JACK THOMAS: That's why you come to. People like us
00:48:32.420 --> 00:48:36.079 JACK THOMAS: come to people like us in New York. We give you a safe space
00:48:36.230 --> 00:48:45.820 JACK THOMAS: we allow you to be you. These are all the new concepts. As a friend of mine, Scott Barnett, taught me the word unbelievable. Maybe one day I will
00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:54.560 JACK THOMAS: have the blessing of having Scott come, speak on our Podcast. He can really turn the whole world upside down in the most positive of ways.
00:48:55.180 --> 00:48:57.699 JACK THOMAS: But that's what it takes. It takes a network of people.
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:00.240 JACK THOMAS: It's a network of people within business.
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:12.860 JACK THOMAS: And then it's these information pieces which I'm gonna do. I'm gonna dial back onto, I think this is such just a great informative piece. It's a 10 min piece. Everybody can also pick up on it out on the Internet
00:50:34.900 --> 00:50:38.379 JACK THOMAS: that little 10 min segment is so packed forward and
00:50:38.610 --> 00:50:41.699 JACK THOMAS: information the the moment you hear the word international.
00:50:42.130 --> 00:50:50.599 JACK THOMAS: it comes into the entrepreneur. That's what we do. We like to talk with the entrepreneurs, our top entrepreneur, Yvonne Dom.
00:50:50.670 --> 00:50:56.940 JACK THOMAS: She'll be coming here into New York City in July. We're gonna have a speaking Gedge engagement. She's gonna be here for 3 days
00:50:57.030 --> 00:51:11.070 JACK THOMAS: installing a training program for Ceos. We're going to just be part of the happiness behind the scenes. But this is an Yvon dom presentation, this woman I've seen her speak before. She's unbelievable to be in our presence
00:51:11.100 --> 00:51:15.343 JACK THOMAS: or wisdom of 20 years. You could just go out and look at
00:51:15.810 --> 00:51:27.650 JACK THOMAS: Just amazing, just amazing. Look at Yvanda. On Linkedin and coming in on the psychological aspect of how do we go about it and listen to these Youtube channels? They just make it all so simple.
00:51:27.730 --> 00:51:49.799 JACK THOMAS: But when you get into that workplace I've been involved in representing employers and employees on insurance claims. When the employee said this, the employee said, that I fill this form, I fill that form, this fill that form, and and then no one's really happy. So, having a third party person like ourselves, we're not attorneys. We are brought in to
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:58.960 JACK THOMAS: guide and coach managers and leadership, and being that third party when that mental issue comes up, I'll give you, for instance, we're involved in a case right now.
00:51:59.430 --> 00:52:02.709 JACK THOMAS: large automotive business. Somebody was run over and killed.
00:52:02.850 --> 00:52:24.650 JACK THOMAS: So what happens when they they kill the insurance company? All hands go up. They want nothing to do with you because they gotta figure out what's gonna go on? Who's gonna Sue? Who, with third party, we come in with the employees and everybody that is a manager and a leader. Right now we're having sit down conversations. They all get their own therapist. It's done quietly. It's done quickly. It's done. Well.
00:52:25.600 --> 00:52:27.169 JACK THOMAS: How do you get it out there?
00:52:27.270 --> 00:52:53.910 JACK THOMAS: We're in 7 States. We just keep talking about it. People keep peering about it. People keep saying, How do you do it. It's because we are bio hacking already existing pieces. A gentleman, Matt Manarica Matt. I'm sorry. Hope I pronounce your last name. 2018. He was a retiring doctor. He saw the tele Doc tools and merge them together and created a program. He's also fortunate, Jeff Mack.
00:52:54.620 --> 00:53:08.269 JACK THOMAS: 25 years in a business. So the level of professionals are people that are like you. They're everyday people looking at that technology piece that was done 20 years ago. How do we hack them pull them together and make it affordable for people.
00:53:08.520 --> 00:53:14.019 JACK THOMAS: That's what you get at the happy spot. Looking at creativity, one of the nice parts coming out of New York.
00:53:15.110 --> 00:53:19.700 JACK THOMAS: The State of New York provides mental wellness benefits for all employees
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:30.234 JACK THOMAS: through state programs, but people don't know about it at the Happy Spot will guide Coach Point and and answer the questions. Sometimes people are just afraid to ask
00:53:31.430 --> 00:53:32.420 JACK THOMAS: HR.
00:53:32.640 --> 00:53:33.740 JACK THOMAS: Is, you know.
00:53:33.810 --> 00:53:47.819 JACK THOMAS: that mental wellness question for some companies. If you're in private information in high level corporations, you know you're still an everyday person living an extraordinary life and afraid to ask
00:53:47.990 --> 00:53:48.750 JACK THOMAS: we
00:53:49.950 --> 00:54:03.637 JACK THOMAS: our old school, New York. You come in. It's like having a neighbor. We just talk about the ideas. There is. No there's no indemnity agreement. You're just coming in and speaking with us. It was interesting when
00:54:04.900 --> 00:54:24.480 JACK THOMAS: I asked people this question, and I look at the history of Osha, and how it came into effect, and then 9, 11. And so I asked people, you know, there's 3 types of 9, 11, I think of 9, 11, Porsche, nothing faster. 9, 11. What a tragic loss! And then 9, 11, our safety.
00:54:24.720 --> 00:54:30.047 JACK THOMAS: And wouldn't that safety come from? Came from? A bad thing happened in New York.
00:54:30.620 --> 00:54:40.679 JACK THOMAS: I'm drawing a blank on the woman who was who was murdered. But there were 38 people that heard this woman that was killed but 9, 1 one didn't exist, but they didn't know where to go or how to help.
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:46.300 JACK THOMAS: So now, today, fast forward, 50 years later, people are committing suicide. And we have 9, 8.
00:54:46.630 --> 00:54:48.669 JACK THOMAS: So these are very reactive
00:54:48.720 --> 00:55:16.519 JACK THOMAS: things, but due to the time and the speed of technology, they're good to have them as reactive. But as employers, we need to implement this. We need to be proactive. If you already have tools, hey, that's great. You don't need to borrow our tools, then implement them. We are seeing our success of taking tools and just the conversation. It's not that we're magical, it's that we're passionate. It's that we get it. It's that we're large. We know it's important.
00:55:17.310 --> 00:55:19.510 JACK THOMAS: This is Jack Thomas at the happy spot.
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:22.209 JACK THOMAS: We're asking our people
00:55:22.410 --> 00:55:24.320 JACK THOMAS: right who can come out
00:55:24.450 --> 00:55:27.130 JACK THOMAS: who could come out and and and be with us.
00:55:27.270 --> 00:55:28.060 JACK THOMAS: So
00:55:28.780 --> 00:55:29.640 JACK THOMAS: thank you.
