Tune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc
In this episode of The Happy Spot, Jack is joined by special guest Sarah Magee as they will be discussing quantum tools amongst other related topics. To start the episode, Jack shows a book Sara gave him called, “Innercise,” a book dedicated to exercising the conscious and subconscious and Sarah shares the main points to take away from the novel. They also discuss meditation practices, which is also recommended in the novel, Sarah gets the chance to share her personal story and how she got interested in quantum healing.
After the first break, we return to Jack and Sarah discussing sounds and different tools and tactics to soothe the sounds for sensitive ears. From there, Jack demonstrates a yogi technique to help relieve anxiety and retake control of our hands along with a meditation demonstration called “Walking Meditation.”
Moving along in the discussion, Jack checks up on Sarah, asks her what she has learned on the show, and provides her thoughts on that question. Afterward, Jack shares a video called, “Standards in 10 Minutes,” which is a video to help promote wellness and psychological health in the workplace, and shares a game called “The Happy Game,” which is about creating checkpoints for happiness over 52 weeks. Sarah and Jack play the game to show how it is done.
As the episode comes to a close, Jack talks about the importance of quantum tools and their exact purpose. Jack also shares a tool designed for people with neurodivergence to help them focus and stay on task or overcome certain senses like taste and hearing. Sarah and Jack wrap up by discussing examples of generational change in the workforce, specifically in terms of what is and is not acceptable in receiving affirmation from a higher up.
00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:40.050 Jack Thomas: Welcome back everybody.
00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.930 Jack Thomas: Jack Thomas, at the happy spot. New York City
00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:45.609 Jack Thomas: coming to you, live.
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:56.839 Jack Thomas: and we are fortunate to have a guest today a woman who is strong, empowering, and speaks our mind. Sarah Mcgee. Thank you for joining us today. This is great. Hearing your story this morning.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.650 Sarah Magee: Thank you so much for having me on.
00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:00.600 Sarah Magee: It's
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:02.020 Sarah Magee: honor.
00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.619 Sarah Magee: It's a new experience.
00:01:05.470 --> 00:01:07.665 Jack Thomas: Well, well, thank you for joining us and
00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:11.250 Jack Thomas: Today, the goal of the show is to talk about tools.
00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:17.169 Jack Thomas: and sometimes a tool can be something as simple as a vessel that carries a container.
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:23.190 Jack Thomas: To get the water from the well to the people is the tool.
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:32.740 Jack Thomas: Now we may not see it as a tool. We may just think people should get the water. But we, as human beings today, are tools that are all serving one another.
00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:42.250 Jack Thomas: And the reason why Sarah is joining us today is we share. We live in the same building. We are in a Yoga community.
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.139 Jack Thomas: and this is not about Yoga, which I am a Yogi and a practitioner.
00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:51.739 Jack Thomas: but it's really about being in a community.
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:56.140 Jack Thomas: and where people give you a chance to speak your mind and feel safe.
00:01:56.330 --> 00:02:01.040 Jack Thomas: So the business, the corporation I'm involved with the happy spot is a safe space.
00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:30.910 Jack Thomas: It's a place where employers can try and have their employees find their happy spot, and the employers are looking for all new tools, and I tell them no worry about it. We got you. We found the tools in Europe, and everyone make a note in your calendar, Yvonne Dom. She is a 20 year business coach out of Barcelona, Spain. She did work in the States, but she's gonna come and speak for 3 days in New York City, and we will have further details on that. Please keep your eyes open.
00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:33.780 Jack Thomas: We also are now in 7 States.
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.980 Jack Thomas: So our services of wellness and I want to thank Matt and the Rx. Company that we're able to get it.
00:02:41.110 --> 00:02:59.090 Jack Thomas: We also are getting lead of, not leads, but in interest in some of the companies and programs that have come on. So if people know of wellness companies, ie. We are bio hack companies. We look at biology, biology being the mind and hacking.
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:03.889 Jack Thomas: We're looking at back into a system. And here's a for instance.
00:03:07.090 --> 00:03:12.540 Jack Thomas: I meet Sarah. We're in Yoga Mary's teaching us. There's a group of people, and
00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:23.260 Jack Thomas: Sarah has her own life experiences which will dovetail into in a moment, but she immediately brought over this book and gave me this gift, called inner size.
00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:46.878 Jack Thomas: which is so perfect, because that's what's going on in our minds in our body, and what's going on so I'm gonna open up the floor for some questions. Sarah. When you saw this book. What are one or 2 things you think that people would wanna know about cause you're in your journey on your wellness. So what's something in here that you may think be of interest.
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.319 Jack Thomas: or should I pick one of the topics.
00:03:50.559 --> 00:03:54.060 Sarah Magee: I mean, there are several topics. I think the
00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:55.510 Sarah Magee: really
00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:04.370 Sarah Magee: useful practical side of the book is that it has meditations, and you can. There's a QR. Code, and you can
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.589 Sarah Magee: kind of rewire your subconscious, and that's it. The book talks a lot about aligning your subconscious with your conscious
00:04:12.438 --> 00:04:16.219 Sarah Magee: and getting what you want out of life pretty much.
00:04:20.430 --> 00:04:25.519 Sarah Magee: facing fears and stopping limiting beliefs, and
00:04:25.610 --> 00:04:28.099 Sarah Magee: just kind of breaking through.
00:04:29.730 --> 00:04:35.790 Jack Thomas: So so I love that. So so the subconscious and the conscious. Now
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.740 Jack Thomas: a fair, a a majority of our client, base and people, we speak to right. They don't believe in the subconscious.
00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:44.490 Sarah Magee: So go away.
00:04:44.490 --> 00:04:45.589 Jack Thomas: Yeah, that.
00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:51.073 Jack Thomas: I I believe in it as a practitioner in studying that
00:04:52.390 --> 00:04:59.159 Jack Thomas: So when we're looking at that subconscious for that conscious or that mind. I'm at 57.
00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:01.390 Jack Thomas: I have you by a couple of years.
00:05:01.590 --> 00:05:09.980 Jack Thomas: But people once they reach over the age of 50 in our society in America today. Oh, I can't learn something new. Oh, I can't be rewired.
00:05:10.590 --> 00:05:24.890 Jack Thomas: Well, the the the argument that I make with people is that if if you don't do it. Change is gonna happen anyway. So either you're gonna stay where you are, and if you're not happy or engage with others
00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:29.670 Jack Thomas: and then share the struggle that will help unlock some of the subconscious.
00:05:29.700 --> 00:05:31.310 Jack Thomas: But that that's the
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:35.560 Jack Thomas: deep, deep conversation. Where on this show we open up those doors?
00:05:36.066 --> 00:05:40.963 Jack Thomas: Meditation for me it's been a game changer. So that was very relevant.
00:05:41.690 --> 00:05:42.510 Sarah Magee: Yeah. September.
00:05:42.510 --> 00:05:43.935 Jack Thomas: As a tool?
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:47.336 Jack Thomas: Are you a meditator, or is it something that you do.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.589 Sarah Magee: Brand new experience for me. So I'm not a meditator. I have a hard time
00:05:53.610 --> 00:05:56.410 Sarah Magee: clearing my mind enough to meditate.
00:05:57.730 --> 00:06:00.439 Sarah Magee: so I think with these
00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:05.609 Sarah Magee: I don't know whether you you know meditations or inner sizes.
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.080 Sarah Magee: it's just a more.
00:06:09.950 --> 00:06:12.859 Sarah Magee: It's like a it's like a practical
00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:15.720 Sarah Magee: approach to
00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:25.010 Sarah Magee: taking down the walls of our, of our some of our mind, and
00:06:26.850 --> 00:06:28.979 Sarah Magee: and keeping the goals that we want
00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:30.210 Sarah Magee: from life.
00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:31.470 Jack Thomas: It's awesome
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:46.568 Jack Thomas: in in meditation, the area where we go down. These are going to be tools that we're gonna have online at the happy spot. We're working with Krause marketing, going through the details so hopefully, Joel and his team will have us up and running. But the tools of meditation that
00:06:46.910 --> 00:07:00.969 Jack Thomas: I recommend for ease is, go to Youtube. Everybody hear the tools you want to be using Youtube and Linkedin, depending on what what we're looking for and one of them is called a box breath.
00:07:01.170 --> 00:07:03.519 Jack Thomas: So a box breadth is a 4 count.
00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:13.069 Jack Thomas: and so if you imagine a square, and the way they'll they'll train people. Is you breathe in 4, 3, 2, one, and I'm gonna hold it here.
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:19.999 Jack Thomas: I'm not breathing. I'm just right holding it at 4, 3, 2, one, and then letting it go at 4, 3, 2, one.
00:07:20.700 --> 00:07:40.949 Jack Thomas: So the rhythm of the number and the breath is how one can learn to contain themselves and congratulations. That when one, says I, I can't really meditate, that's when it's working. I cannot tell you how many people I meet that are in their forties and fifties and go. I can't meditate at all. I can't settle my mind.
00:07:41.010 --> 00:07:43.249 Jack Thomas: and I'm like, Have you tried? Yes.
00:07:43.540 --> 00:08:05.200 Jack Thomas: and I said, that's great. Now just go at it again. The goal is to make it a rhythm and a repetition. So what we'll recommend is 10 min a day at least once in the morning, before you get your day started. We all know. Once we get into our day we're running around, and by the time we get home. All we wanna do is either crawl into our couch
00:08:05.270 --> 00:08:19.990 Jack Thomas: right, crawl into bed or go have a drink or something to settle ourselves down. Really too tired. Goal is 10 min also, Andrew wild for sleeping at night as a meditation count of a 4, 7, 8.
00:08:20.230 --> 00:08:29.809 Jack Thomas: So box breathing. But these are the types of things of tools that we defer to that. We're going to help. People have a rhythm to get in and and kind of guide that
00:08:30.612 --> 00:08:38.114 Jack Thomas: so what is something you wanna share about your journey? That was so. Eye opening. I love the word you used is quantum healing.
00:08:38.740 --> 00:08:39.400 Sarah Magee: Yeah.
00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:41.999 Jack Thomas: Deadline levels. So please.
00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:45.847 Sarah Magee: I was introduced to that concept by a friend.
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:54.319 Sarah Magee: who's done it several times. And basically in 3 words. What it means is. Come, meet yourself
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.400 Sarah Magee: and
00:08:58.170 --> 00:09:06.569 Sarah Magee: I. I like the premise of that, because you really do have to know yourself and meet yourself and know what you want.
00:09:07.265 --> 00:09:07.690 Sarah Magee: And
00:09:07.830 --> 00:09:09.439 Sarah Magee: in order to
00:09:11.770 --> 00:09:16.220 Sarah Magee: have a fulfilling life, I I think I mean I don't know but I that's what I think.
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:24.320 Sarah Magee: And she puts, or he or she will put youth in a deep, meditative state, like almost like a sleep state.
00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:32.530 Sarah Magee: so that you can open up and kind of answer the questions for yourself, so if she's guiding you on this journey, she'll
00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:35.609 Sarah Magee: she'll talk you through, and she'll bring you to
00:09:36.020 --> 00:09:43.950 Sarah Magee: you know, up the staircase, and she'll show you the door, but it's up to you to open the door and to discover what
00:09:44.490 --> 00:09:46.690 Sarah Magee: is in your own heart.
00:09:47.260 --> 00:09:53.549 Sarah Magee: because, you know, it's it's not prescriptive. It's it's just. It's about discovery.
00:09:54.970 --> 00:10:01.389 Jack Thomas: So well stated, and so for myself, in finding the discovery of meditation.
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:18.779 Jack Thomas: it it it allowed it allowed my physical body to be better connected. So for me, part of my Yogic work, or my workout of what I'm doing for my wellness is, I got hurt many years ago playing sports.
00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:37.699 Jack Thomas: And so my left hip has horrible mobility and couldn't play basketball anymore. So, looking for that, yoga, it was the meditative breath that Yoga instructor really helped for my pieces to get together, connected in my thoughts of my mind with how I was physically trying to breathe and work through.
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:38.940 Jack Thomas: Okay.
00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:39.530 Sarah Magee: Shame.
00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:43.850 Jack Thomas: So this, this is that combination of
00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:50.219 Jack Thomas: tools. You know the the problem I just got in. I just got an email childhood friend of mine.
00:10:52.650 --> 00:11:01.600 Jack Thomas: big State Chief Medical Officer, and just emailed me goes, hey, Larry, where can I go? Get a good, healthy workout and do yoga?
00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:09.429 Jack Thomas: And so it it first starts off. Sometimes. Yoga meditation. It's just as simple as sitting.
00:11:09.510 --> 00:11:19.340 Jack Thomas: So I want everyone to know that if you go to sit and you could do that for 10 s, and you get up and go. I can't meditate. You just meditated
00:11:20.570 --> 00:11:21.839 Jack Thomas: another big metal.
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.590 Sarah Magee: Here.
00:11:23.370 --> 00:11:29.479 Jack Thomas: A. And so today, right? If one goes, I tried, and I did it for 10 s, and then it didn't work.
00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:38.420 Jack Thomas: Well, that's 10 s more, and then the next day do 10 s, and set your goals in, having 11 s, 12 s.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.090 Sarah Magee: Absolutely
00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:43.150 Sarah Magee: maybe September.
00:11:43.150 --> 00:11:48.330 Jack Thomas: If I go into the the the model of Dr. Donna and her prescription on wellness
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.430 Jack Thomas: in here is number one taking vitamins and supplements.
00:11:53.500 --> 00:12:00.129 Jack Thomas: Number 2 is therapy or an acupuncture. Number 3 is yoga martial arts.
00:12:00.430 --> 00:12:09.639 Jack Thomas: regular practice, and the last one is having a partner or a trusted friend to join in the activities. So you have an accountability partner.
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:20.239 Jack Thomas: So that last part is really the the key part that we're going to talk about in greater detail. It's the accountability and sharing it with a partner.
00:12:20.970 --> 00:12:36.530 Jack Thomas: So I utilize a business coach, and that's how I've really had some of my success this past year was having an accountability coach. I am a trained professional coach. I don't offer that as services, but I went and have done that in the past.
00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:40.069 Jack Thomas: but having a tactical coach in life.
00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:44.240 Jack Thomas: can be really helpful in business as well. In our wellness.
00:12:44.450 --> 00:12:51.260 Jack Thomas: We're going to be moving into a break in a moment, and when we come back we're going to talk about additional tools, and we're going to start off on our ears.
00:12:51.290 --> 00:13:04.299 Jack Thomas: And why I'm bringing up the ears is, we're gonna move into the binaural beats. So when Sam Lee Woods and thank you, Sam, for giving me this space and this place to bring in people like Sarah to share their story.
00:13:04.430 --> 00:13:07.049 Jack Thomas: that you get to pick your music.
00:13:07.060 --> 00:13:28.710 Jack Thomas: So I chose binaural beats, and that's what we're going to be going off into. It's just to help me focus and just using it as an example, as how things will sit in your life. And you don't even know it's there. We'll be back right in a moment. Everybody. Thank you so much. Jack Thomas sitting in the happy spot and having the great graces of Sarah Mcgee joining us this evening. Be right back.
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:57.579 Jack Thomas: I had unmute myself. Thank you, everybody. So today, at the Jack Thomas, the happy spot we're talking about tools
00:15:58.150 --> 00:16:05.180 Jack Thomas: where we're going into now is on ears. And so for me, that's a really important personal thing. I have going on
00:16:06.647 --> 00:16:15.569 Jack Thomas: when I was in college I was a Dj. And for years my ears have always been sensitive, but I didn't really pay attention to it. But during the pandemic
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:26.790 Jack Thomas: I had moved into a new place where I was living. My partner I was living with when they would drop a fork or a knife, or anything. The the echo in in our apartment ran through my body.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.310 Jack Thomas: What's the nails on a chalkboard?
00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:46.243 Jack Thomas: And I went to the doctors and they diagnosed me with some form of a tinitis, but they weren't really sure what it was, but there was definitely a super ear issue. And they say, you know, just sometimes we just become a little more in tune a little more.
00:16:46.890 --> 00:17:02.011 Jack Thomas: carefully listening so for some of the tools that I started using. I've never had ipods before I had, and every time I bought them I lost them. This. Go around. I've been using them, and the music that I have playing for my show is
00:17:02.490 --> 00:17:20.679 Jack Thomas: I call it binaural beats. And so it's easy if you go to Youtube, BINU. RAL. And the number 40. And so it has been proven. If you're a music person you'll know tuning forks, and the reason why they use tuning forks is so they can uniformly have that piece of
00:17:21.569 --> 00:17:23.169 Jack Thomas: music match
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.470 Jack Thomas: what you want the ears to hear
00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:27.420 Jack Thomas: so for
00:17:28.023 --> 00:17:36.809 Jack Thomas: healing at night sometimes, if it's just an exhausting day, and my body is all beaten up, and everyone says, Oh, I'm going to watch TV and just rest.
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:55.200 Jack Thomas: I don't know about you guys. I watch TV. I don't find it rest of who got murdered. Who's blowing up? Who's mad at? Who? I don't know where the rest comes in from? So, as I was talking with Sarah, and have her thinking now with her partner. Now I've not met her partner, James yet. He's gonna wind up meeting me and go dude. I got no TV in my house because of you.
00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:57.960 Jack Thomas: I don't.
00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.930 Sarah Magee: You know.
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.820 Jack Thomas: I don't want to be a troublemaker in someone's home.
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:08.189 Jack Thomas: But I I did share. I stopped watching TV because of the negative energy and how it affected my ears.
00:18:08.190 --> 00:18:08.980 Sarah Magee: Yeah.
00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:11.890 Jack Thomas: So I'm using binaural beats
00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:21.299 Jack Thomas: for my ears. And then even using the ipod when I'm driving. Sometimes just the pressure in my ears is very settling
00:18:22.835 --> 00:18:27.840 Jack Thomas: so tools, ears, sensitivity. What are some other tools you think would be.
00:18:28.221 --> 00:18:31.650 Sarah Magee: Ask you, have you ever done a flotation tank?
00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:34.999 Sarah Magee: A sensory deprivation, flotation, tank.
00:18:35.750 --> 00:18:37.789 Jack Thomas: So I'm gonna answer you this way.
00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:39.210 Jack Thomas: No.
00:18:40.540 --> 00:18:55.369 Sarah Magee: That might be. You know, the muffling of the sound. And this the the deprivation of sensory input is like, kind of the reversal of what we're talking about today, but it also has similar benefits in terms of
00:18:55.550 --> 00:18:59.530 Sarah Magee: calming the body and the nervous system.
00:19:00.230 --> 00:19:00.835 Sarah Magee: And
00:19:02.010 --> 00:19:04.650 Sarah Magee: I don't know. Maybe it might just came to mind.
00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:08.140 Jack Thomas: I love it. Thank you, and I'll follow up if you have any suggestions.
00:19:08.310 --> 00:19:13.359 Jack Thomas: because that's how we learn at the happy spot. I've heard of it before.
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.050 Sarah Magee: Yeah.
00:19:14.050 --> 00:19:16.699 Jack Thomas: And and I'll also say is
00:19:16.810 --> 00:19:26.290 Jack Thomas: because of the pandemic, and I think we all went through something in the pandemic. I am much more open to things that I've not considered before in the past.
00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:30.849 Jack Thomas: So right now we are in a worldwide shift
00:19:31.030 --> 00:19:32.870 Jack Thomas: of wellness.
00:19:32.950 --> 00:19:35.280 Jack Thomas: and what's driving? It is time.
00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:44.789 Jack Thomas: and what so what I mean by time, that's really where a lot of our anxiety is coming from. And I remember studying an economics course
00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:55.999 Jack Thomas: 40 years ago in college. And Dr. Spleen was the teacher. And he said, You know, human beings, our nature is. We always want to race and race and compete. It's our nature.
00:19:56.370 --> 00:19:59.379 Jack Thomas: he goes. But we can't beat a machine. It's a tool.
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:08.660 Jack Thomas: So the computers just keep running and running and running, and us as human beings are trying to keep up with our phones. So we're setting ourselves for failure.
00:20:09.130 --> 00:20:17.600 Jack Thomas: So the employers they don't have an incentive over here in the United States, even though they say they're providing benefits.
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:33.709 Jack Thomas: I know that the implementation that it it's not happening. And and and I don't have to get into the details. We all know it's not happening, but it takes worldwide. People like us that are open to talk about it and saying to those large corporations.
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.840 Jack Thomas: Please help your family and ours.
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.990 Sarah Magee: Absolutely.
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.330 Jack Thomas: Doesn't.
00:20:40.330 --> 00:20:43.440 Sarah Magee: 1,000%. I couldn't agree more
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.390 Sarah Magee: if I had a to pick a life purpose. That's that would be it
00:20:47.510 --> 00:20:50.380 Sarah Magee: to convince convince those guys of
00:20:51.090 --> 00:20:52.250 Sarah Magee: what's really
00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:53.310 Sarah Magee: important
00:20:53.550 --> 00:20:54.320 Sarah Magee: here.
00:20:55.050 --> 00:21:00.739 Jack Thomas: Well, if I could have a little fun, because I use my ears, and I listen carefully. And you made the reference of the guys.
00:21:00.780 --> 00:21:04.890 Jack Thomas: So it's like there's some gals out there that are pretty tough, too, you know.
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:10.429 Sarah Magee: No, you're right. I was using it, maybe in an outdated way. But
00:21:12.010 --> 00:21:14.490 Sarah Magee: yes, guys and guys and gals.
00:21:14.570 --> 00:21:15.680 Sarah Magee: Thank you.
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:16.600 Jack Thomas: It, it.
00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:18.120 Sarah Magee: And and the and
00:21:18.590 --> 00:21:20.760 Sarah Magee: and they so.
00:21:21.060 --> 00:21:29.339 Jack Thomas: And so for my everyday people, we play with the guys and gals, and there, there's a whole. They she.
00:21:29.780 --> 00:21:29.990 Sarah Magee: Look.
00:21:29.990 --> 00:21:47.409 Jack Thomas: Sophisticated enough in that movement, and I and I I respect that movement. Where I I I'll play in with those words is I really don't understand all of that, but I'm open and respectful as I meet others like that that we. I can learn from them too.
00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:48.360 Sarah Magee: But Ollie!
00:21:49.090 --> 00:21:56.839 Jack Thomas: And then, and that's what it comes down to is this business environment. You have the good fortune of meeting Emily and Emily is Right Executive
00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:59.689 Jack Thomas: Virtual Assistant running the Show
00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:00.770 Jack Thomas: right.
00:22:01.125 --> 00:22:01.480 Sarah Magee: Yeah.
00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:04.890 Jack Thomas: I had to learn through other younger people
00:22:05.320 --> 00:22:15.900 Jack Thomas: that my communication skill, set as great as I thought I was, wasn't so great. So it's also the listening of what other people are saying to receive it.
00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:19.913 Sarah Magee: Thank you for that feedback, cause you're right. I shouldn't have
00:22:20.830 --> 00:22:27.840 Sarah Magee: that got past that got past my subconscious and out of out my mouth too quickly, so I appreciate it.
00:22:28.603 --> 00:22:43.550 Jack Thomas: Right. But but you talk from a power of strength because you've done a lot of this work already. And so the world that we're reaching into our people going. I've heard about this. But what is it? So I'm gonna elaborate a little more on the hearing aspect of it.
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:53.979 Jack Thomas: Moonan Moumanics. I I really should practice words before I'm gonna get out and speak about it.
00:22:54.060 --> 00:23:06.950 Jack Thomas: But over the weekend I've been studying yoga. I'm doing a Pre. I'm doing a practicum. I am becoming a yoga instructor. I will be teaching with God's blessing in the future. But there was a
00:23:07.590 --> 00:23:12.450 Jack Thomas: a story that's written in here, and it's done numbers. It's no different than any other
00:23:12.540 --> 00:23:22.050 Jack Thomas: discipline or following in here. This number is 4.1 8, and it's giving a listing of explaining different things. So here. And this is Yoga talk.
00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:25.199 Jack Thomas: the modifications of the mind stuff.
00:23:26.780 --> 00:23:31.090 Jack Thomas: So we all think like Yogi stuff is like really far out there, right mind stuff.
00:23:31.280 --> 00:23:46.019 Jack Thomas: What's mine stuff? I got a buddy of mine coach Mike hands on hoops. He's been on the show before coaches. Kids in New York City goes from school yard to school yard, and he says to me one day, he goes, looks he got a lot on your mind, Jack, I said. I do, Mike.
00:23:46.150 --> 00:23:49.110 Jack Thomas: He goes all the chattering monkeys going on in your head.
00:23:51.560 --> 00:24:01.319 Jack Thomas: so we all know that we have voices going on in our head, but when you can let other people know go, and I got chattering monkeys here in Yoga they call it mine stuff.
00:24:02.310 --> 00:24:07.589 Jack Thomas: but what they make reference here is, how do we go about changing our mind? Stuff?
00:24:08.370 --> 00:24:12.970 Jack Thomas: Mental modifications occupy almost all of our minds.
00:24:13.490 --> 00:24:21.379 Jack Thomas: So the word used here. What I thought was interesting perception occurs against a contrasting factor.
00:24:21.710 --> 00:24:32.020 Jack Thomas: So if it's in our mind, our mind takes what we hear and tells us what we're hearing. But the perception occurs against the contrasting factor.
00:24:32.510 --> 00:24:36.050 Jack Thomas: So they used an an example in here. I'm gonna just read this example.
00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:39.850 Jack Thomas: We may say it's time to repaint our kitchen
00:24:39.910 --> 00:24:50.290 Jack Thomas: and say the same shade of white we use last time it was painted. As we roll the new paint we might have a hard time telling where we left off, since the colors are the same.
00:24:50.640 --> 00:25:02.299 Jack Thomas: we lean this way and that way, twist our heads to the side to catch the reflection of light off the wall. When we distinguish the wet from the dry, we can easily resume painting. Again.
00:25:02.630 --> 00:25:05.239 Jack Thomas: we need to contrast that perception
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:06.780 Jack Thomas: contrast.
00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:14.770 Jack Thomas: Looking at that white. So with our eyes. Sometimes the visual is a little easier, but our ears it's not as much
00:25:14.970 --> 00:25:31.359 Jack Thomas: so in the happy spot we focus on things that we can see and the 5 senses, how do we bring that into the work environment where it doesn't sound so woo woo, and where the managers going. Hey, Mary! Hey, Jen, get to that job quicker, and they're like, no, we're meditating
00:25:36.010 --> 00:25:41.830 Jack Thomas: these. These are the things that are going on in our world where people are looking for what could be of a wellness piece.
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.720 Jack Thomas: So something I'm going to share with everybody here.
00:25:44.970 --> 00:25:51.730 Jack Thomas: And we did this earlier as an exercise. I'm just going to show this now as an exercise of something that I teach people.
00:25:52.900 --> 00:26:09.830 Jack Thomas: So as a yogi I'm a warrior but as a warrior I was originally starting in martial arts, and so I struggle in that contrast. When I hear the word warrior and my fighting cause, my human nature says I'm fighting, but as a yogi of a longer period of time I wanna do. Well.
00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:13.470 Jack Thomas: I have learned from martial arts, and in Yoga.
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:17.460 Jack Thomas: that there's an area right in our hand, and I call this
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.329 Jack Thomas: the fat or the meat, right right where your thumb comes into your finger.
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:31.739 Jack Thomas: and if I just take my like a pincher almost like a lobster. Right? We're in Jersey. I had lobster over the weekend nice lobster roll.
00:26:32.100 --> 00:26:47.729 Jack Thomas: and you squeeze in here. I could feel that fat or that muscle I don't want to overpressure. I just want to feel it so I can touch it. And then I just kind of drop it in my lap. And then I just gently massage that in there. And it is an anxiety, stress, relief, technique.
00:26:47.730 --> 00:27:10.410 Jack Thomas: Now we I was taught this from Kyoshi 30 years ago in martial arts. It's also a nice way of taking control in someone's hand if I start squeezing it together. So we're not here as warriors and fighting. But we're here as warriors in our society to try and keep up because this phone, right, this fingers on this phone all day, or it's on the computer, it's on the speed.
00:27:10.410 --> 00:27:17.860 Jack Thomas: And so in our mind trying to keep up. This is a nice way to take a break and kind of settle in if it becomes too much.
00:27:18.090 --> 00:27:21.071 Jack Thomas: I'm gonna go back to meditation and try another concept.
00:27:22.490 --> 00:27:24.460 Jack Thomas: it's called a walking meditation.
00:27:24.670 --> 00:27:31.489 Jack Thomas: Now I I've had people say to me, hey, lar! I was out in California. Colorado is hiking in the mountains.
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:39.299 Jack Thomas: and I said, Oh, were you meditating? Well, I wasn't meditating, but I was with somebody who really didn't talk. We were just taking in the sounds.
00:27:39.710 --> 00:27:56.160 Jack Thomas: That is another version of meditating. So for people that are out there, there's a gentleman in a science, and that's a word I noticed you were using earlier today that there is a science that Dr. Joe D. Pienza is using in a walking meditation.
00:27:56.190 --> 00:28:03.130 Jack Thomas: and when I come back in a moment we will talk about walking meditations, coherence of the mind and the heart.
00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:14.199 Jack Thomas: and these are some of the talks and the tools that are going on around the world. And here, at the happy spot as entrepreneurs. We're bringing it to you. We're gonna go to break, and we'll be right back.
00:30:15.820 --> 00:30:17.539 Jack Thomas: Thank you, everybody for coming back.
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:23.200 Jack Thomas: Jack Thomas. We are fortunate to have the grace of Sarah Mcgee coming in
00:30:23.950 --> 00:30:48.860 Jack Thomas: from New Jersey, sharing her thoughts. While we're shooting here in New York City today, Sarah. So great at last minute we were just talking, and I thought you just brought such a nice rounding touch into our group so we're halfway into our show. So what's one thing? That you're receiving here today that you didn't expect that you'd want to share with everybody. Or we'll just go to that next topic.
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.120 Jack Thomas: So you're on mute. I'm so yep.
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:57.992 Sarah Magee: I'm sorry. Yes, okay.
00:30:58.370 --> 00:30:59.480 Sarah Magee: You hear me?
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:00.670 Jack Thomas: Yup perfectly.
00:31:01.461 --> 00:31:04.229 Sarah Magee: I think. Just picking up on
00:31:05.250 --> 00:31:21.830 Sarah Magee: like even just a tool like the the fatty tissue of the the hand massage has helped me today, and it's that immediate. And I love that. I love that. It's immediate. And
00:31:22.110 --> 00:31:30.190 Sarah Magee: it's you don't take medicine. You just. It's like an I don't know if it's an acupressure point, but it just it just really calms you down.
00:31:31.060 --> 00:31:36.759 Jack Thomas: 100 ho 100%, an active pressure point, and so I'm gonna go
00:31:37.300 --> 00:31:39.849 Jack Thomas: and try and pull this one.
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.419 Jack Thomas: And up here
00:31:43.690 --> 00:31:44.709 Jack Thomas: here we go.
00:31:45.260 --> 00:31:49.959 Jack Thomas: So last week I played it every week. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna play this so
00:31:50.820 --> 00:31:52.330 Jack Thomas: internationally.
00:31:53.710 --> 00:31:58.190 Jack Thomas: this is recognize psychological health and safety in the workplace.
00:31:58.570 --> 00:32:02.829 Jack Thomas: So why, this is important is, I work for a very large insurance company
00:32:02.850 --> 00:32:28.690 Jack Thomas: going back, maybe 1520 years ago, and we did risk management on sexual harassment and discrimination and all of those types of training. And 20 years ago we knew it was a problem, and as an industry and risk management. We worked on it. And we all know today in society how that's blown up. But it had happened well, right now we are on the cutting edge of psychological health and workplace
00:32:29.141 --> 00:32:46.850 Jack Thomas: internationally recognized with an Iso standard. We're just waiting for ocean to crack, catch up. But we are utilizing this as a talking point. So people can learn, you can go out online again, another tube, another tool from Youtube. I'm just gonna come down a little further
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:53.069 Jack Thomas: every week. I'm going to go 2 or 3 min into this, so we can all get a little flavor, and he is
00:32:53.150 --> 00:32:59.499 Jack Thomas: but the COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for employers to take a proactive approach to addressing this issue.
00:32:59.990 --> 00:33:08.169 Jack Thomas: Indeed, it might be said that psychological health and safety at work has overtaken physical safety as an organisational focus for the 2020 s.
00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:18.299 Jack Thomas: Iso, 45,003 supports organizations to understand the issues, develop new approaches and manage the risks in both the short and long terms
00:33:19.090 --> 00:33:30.600 Jack Thomas: for the long-term success of their organisations. Employers need to address the root causes of psychological ill health and recognize that people's work and home lives are not inseparable.
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.180 Jack Thomas: So the standard is important because it provides the first international definition
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:36.949 Jack Thomas: on workplace wellbeing.
00:33:37.450 --> 00:33:41.390 Jack Thomas: The fulfillment of the physical, mental, social, and
00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:48.480 Jack Thomas: so the reason why I'm pausing is, they said, something so critical.
00:33:54.390 --> 00:33:57.779 Jack Thomas: They said something so critical that really resonated with me
00:33:58.450 --> 00:33:59.310 Jack Thomas: is.
00:33:59.550 --> 00:34:07.659 Jack Thomas: we know that there's a problem worldwide, and we're trying to bring it from our home to our business happiness. So here's another tool.
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.080 Jack Thomas: right? This is the happy game.
00:34:11.070 --> 00:34:24.049 Jack Thomas: This was created by Madelina Carrie and her brother Perry. Pedro. Sorry about that, and they've really done an unbelievable job in Portugal. They're in 20 countries. I helped for them to come into the United States.
00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:26.269 Jack Thomas: They have a whole protocol.
00:34:26.574 --> 00:34:31.289 Jack Thomas: I have worked with other companies. There's another company in the United States now called unmind.
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.210 Jack Thomas: And so I go into large organizations and I see large companies.
00:34:35.270 --> 00:34:48.830 Jack Thomas: But I'm not seeing the implementation. So it's kinda like Hr is like, we know, we have a mental problem. We know we need to check off the box. We checked it off, and my discussion to the employees and to the Ceos.
00:34:48.870 --> 00:35:04.609 Jack Thomas: How about? Let's have a checkpoint on how to go about it? So we know worldwide happiness is March twentieth. We know halfway point 9 20. Well, if you're so busy, right? And we all do this as professionals, we look at our taxes, we look at our planning and what we're forecasting.
00:35:05.310 --> 00:35:16.779 Jack Thomas: I'm making a recommendation that every business should have 9, 20 as their halfway checkpoint for happiness, and we could share with you how to go about it. But in the meanwhile, to bring it from your house to your home.
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:22.029 Jack Thomas: I got 52 cards every week. We're gonna do one thing, and I'm gonna pose
00:35:22.750 --> 00:35:24.680 Jack Thomas: the question to Sarah and.
00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:25.979 Sarah Magee: I don't know this.
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:34.970 Jack Thomas: So, Sarah, I know you're a girl from Jersey, grown and born and bred. I don't know if you've ever heard of the 3 card monte game they play in New York.
00:35:36.090 --> 00:35:37.350 Sarah Magee: Nope, never!
00:35:37.550 --> 00:36:04.109 Jack Thomas: Right cause you're you, you you co! You come from the good side of the tracks, some of some of us that come from that working side of the. So the A. 3 card. Monty, is really a New York hustle game, and so everything we do here is a little bit of a spin or on the opposite, so there's no hustle here. This is 3 cards, and you get to pick which one, and then we'll read off which one will be your happiness in your home and within work. So please.
00:36:04.110 --> 00:36:07.539 Sarah Magee: I love that. Okay, so I'll pick the middle card.
00:36:07.710 --> 00:36:11.700 Jack Thomas: Middle card. Thank you. Cause if you had gone left to right, I'd be confused looking which way?
00:36:13.660 --> 00:36:15.309 Jack Thomas: My life easy. Thank you.
00:36:15.510 --> 00:36:16.196 Sarah Magee: Oh, God!
00:36:16.540 --> 00:36:20.870 Jack Thomas: The concept of this is within a business coach.
00:36:20.950 --> 00:36:25.270 Jack Thomas: So happiness. Business school has some great coaches. We would recommend them.
00:36:25.510 --> 00:36:31.470 Jack Thomas: but the tool are the cards, and it says, step into happiness. And the idea is the following.
00:36:32.120 --> 00:36:40.689 Jack Thomas: being in the comfort zone can be positive as it creates routines and standardization of activities, allowing you to save time and effort.
00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:50.329 Jack Thomas: On another hand, it could be extremely limiting. Getting out of the comfort zone is very important step in learning to deal with your own emotions.
00:36:50.330 --> 00:36:51.200 Sarah Magee: No.
00:36:51.200 --> 00:37:15.098 Jack Thomas: That's the tone. So this week set yourself the goal to consciously step out of your comfort zone once a day. Ask for the word at a meeting. If you don't usually participate, say good morning to someone with whom you don't have an existing relationship. Sing at Karaoke. These are just a few examples stepping out of your comfort zone.
00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:18.169 Sarah Magee: That's so empowering. And
00:37:18.430 --> 00:37:20.312 Sarah Magee: my first step
00:37:21.100 --> 00:37:25.184 Sarah Magee: a couple of weeks ago, was just joining that Yoga class that we met each other.
00:37:26.020 --> 00:37:29.069 Sarah Magee: that was me something out of my comfort zone. And
00:37:29.850 --> 00:37:30.610 Sarah Magee: I
00:37:31.240 --> 00:37:32.020 Sarah Magee: just
00:37:32.250 --> 00:37:44.890 Sarah Magee: I've never done a I've never been on a radio show, and you asked me just before coming on, if I wanted to do it, and that was me to be out of my comfort zone. So I'm I'm proud of myself. I'm on a roll.
00:37:46.300 --> 00:37:58.660 Jack Thomas: And so that's great. And so for a lesson for everybody. What was your trigger point initially for coming into Yoga? Why, what happened in your life that said, I, need to get out of my comfort zone and do this.
00:37:58.750 --> 00:38:00.189 Jack Thomas: How can we learn from you.
00:38:04.070 --> 00:38:06.045 Sarah Magee: That's a really good question.
00:38:07.600 --> 00:38:10.000 Sarah Magee: I think I
00:38:12.590 --> 00:38:16.829 Sarah Magee: felt so isolated. I reached a breaking point.
00:38:17.050 --> 00:38:18.760 Sarah Magee: and my anxiety.
00:38:19.370 --> 00:38:22.219 Sarah Magee: and it was in that desper in that
00:38:22.310 --> 00:38:25.150 Sarah Magee: isolation, that desperation
00:38:25.390 --> 00:38:27.189 Sarah Magee: I knew I just
00:38:28.060 --> 00:38:29.629 Sarah Magee: had to be brave
00:38:32.110 --> 00:38:37.899 Sarah Magee: and do something that I that's not, that's not, you know, jumping off of of
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.449 Sarah Magee: plain. But it's just a little something, just a little something to get myself involved back in the community again.
00:38:46.653 --> 00:38:50.036 Sarah Magee: Because I was isolated for so long. And
00:38:51.590 --> 00:38:53.079 Sarah Magee: That was important to me.
00:38:54.310 --> 00:38:58.900 Jack Thomas: So, so, so thank you. And and so the the lesson and message
00:38:59.050 --> 00:39:01.240 Jack Thomas: for everybody is
00:39:01.410 --> 00:39:02.790 Jack Thomas: isolation.
00:39:04.060 --> 00:39:09.279 Jack Thomas: And sometimes you just. You know your your body speaks to you, and you step out of your comfort zone.
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.120 Sarah Magee: Yeah, I didn't really. And a card really did speak to me
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:22.470 Sarah Magee: cause your body goes into automation, and it wants you to be safe. But there's really a rack that's ration. I you know you deal with the rational fears.
00:39:22.870 --> 00:39:24.470 Sarah Magee: He doesn't be afraid of
00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:27.480 Sarah Magee: just stepping up.
00:39:27.930 --> 00:39:37.620 Sarah Magee: And I think in the book and inner size. The book you remember that book said that once facing your fears is like
00:39:37.660 --> 00:39:45.040 Sarah Magee: finding a strength. It's like the same. It's like, it's like the opposite side of the coin. It's like facing. A fear is like building an
00:39:45.100 --> 00:39:46.440 Sarah Magee: a strength.
00:39:47.790 --> 00:39:53.190 Sarah Magee: It's like you're using your your neuro muscles as he coins it to build a strength.
00:39:54.870 --> 00:39:56.763 Jack Thomas: And and I'm gonna hold that right there.
00:39:57.590 --> 00:40:00.379 Jack Thomas: cause that's perfect. So the neural muscles
00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:08.717 Jack Thomas: right now, the connection of the neural within the brain and connecting it with the heart. It's a method in
00:40:10.090 --> 00:40:11.170 Jack Thomas: called coherence.
00:40:11.270 --> 00:40:26.699 Jack Thomas: So in the breathing world, the coherence they we now know because of medical technology that within our heart there's also small little areas that air pockets are connecting our brain in our heart and creating that coherence.
00:40:26.750 --> 00:40:28.579 Jack Thomas: that when we have the connections.
00:40:29.370 --> 00:40:30.719 Sarah Magee: And so interesting.
00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:54.289 Jack Thomas: So why, I bring that up is Dr. Joe Dpnza. And again we here at the happy spot. We are aggregators. We are connectors. We're connected in New York and New Jersey. Right? We are the center of the world of the mid medicine, and all the different pieces that go back and forth, and Dr. Joe Dpn talks about. Go outside, take a walk.
00:40:54.290 --> 00:41:01.379 Jack Thomas: and while you're walking you could pay attention to your heart, your breath, and your mind getting that coherence movement.
00:41:02.011 --> 00:41:05.750 Jack Thomas: One exercise I was doing in paying it. Working on my ears
00:41:06.460 --> 00:41:12.580 Jack Thomas: was when we're walking, and we're not too far. We're about 15 min from Newark Airport we could hear the airplane.
00:41:13.050 --> 00:41:19.920 Jack Thomas: but when I'm walking he'll say, Look at a plane that you can't hear, and then try and hear the plane. You can't hear
00:41:22.770 --> 00:41:52.140 Jack Thomas: training the ears, even though our eyes can see it, but it's so far away. But seeing if you could train your ears. And so those are some of the things that I'll look at online and saying, Oh, wow! Right cause now coordinating the eyes and the ears and the mouth of breathing. So the breathing is important. Now we all do it right. We just kind of wake up one day. We we're just doing it at the happy spot in the business world. What we'll do is show. Here are some of the tools.
00:41:52.610 --> 00:41:55.329 Jack Thomas: but we're talking of the senses of the body today.
00:41:56.490 --> 00:42:03.710 Jack Thomas: one area that I'm gonna leave for a little bit later on will be taste or flavor. And the key one is touch.
00:42:03.910 --> 00:42:14.579 Jack Thomas: Touch is a very important one, because when we're at work, how you touch somebody, whether you could touch somebody. You know, it's really created issues over the years. But
00:42:14.630 --> 00:42:27.220 Jack Thomas: you know, many, many years ago, I remember right. There's an old saying, Hey, you get an add a boy, or it could be an add a girl, but that slap on the back. If your boss walked by and said, Hey, add a girl. Great job.
00:42:27.330 --> 00:42:55.801 Jack Thomas: I don't care what anyone says that just feels good. They weren't hitting you to hurt you, that recognition right? But nowadays someone's hey? They touch me. They don't have the right to touch me. I'm gonna so that get added right? Because I come as a professional sitting in that world where I've seen people coming in. But at some point when do we get back to just being human beings in a society? We're gonna move to break in a moment.
00:42:56.140 --> 00:43:00.910 Jack Thomas: our goal here is that everyday people that are living extraordinary lives.
00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:12.929 Jack Thomas: right? Cause we all remember the corvette came out in 55. It's still an example of great American ingenuity. But, oh, my God, how many new tools are we gonna need to fix that car today?
00:43:13.050 --> 00:43:22.339 Jack Thomas: So with that being said, let's just take a pause. We're gonna go to break Jack Thomas, the happy spot having Sarah Mcgee. Thank you, everybody for engaging. We'll be right back.
00:45:31.470 --> 00:45:33.370 Jack Thomas: Excuse me, welcome back. Everybody
00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:37.230 Jack Thomas: today is the happy spot in tools.
00:45:37.380 --> 00:45:42.049 Jack Thomas: So example of tools that we've been talking about are within our senses
00:45:42.805 --> 00:45:46.270 Jack Thomas: to get to our brain. So here's another tool
00:45:47.040 --> 00:45:50.050 Jack Thomas: that I think is pretty unbelievable, and it's Lega.
00:45:52.330 --> 00:45:55.149 Jack Thomas: So as as a kid growing up.
00:45:55.250 --> 00:45:57.870 Jack Thomas: we looked at Legos as a toy to play with.
00:45:59.090 --> 00:46:04.520 Jack Thomas: Now I bought this because I love this black car. I just think it is just so awesome.
00:46:05.190 --> 00:46:19.520 Jack Thomas: But the reason why I got that tool is because during the day, while working on a computer. And my mind is thinking I wanted to shift my mind. And so the little nuance and detail gave me a chance as a tool.
00:46:19.530 --> 00:46:21.189 Jack Thomas: So when we say, tools
00:46:22.497 --> 00:46:42.530 Jack Thomas: I grew up selling all types of tools and materials in the automotive business. One of my favorite stories about tools and going off label, and that's for all you doctors that were prescribing all those drugs out there for so many years, because it was off label on oxycontin and all of the opioids
00:46:43.750 --> 00:46:48.280 Jack Thomas: but an off label tool. If we come back to the corvette it's been plastic.
00:46:49.490 --> 00:46:52.850 Jack Thomas: Plastic has been used for so many things on the car.
00:46:53.030 --> 00:47:00.249 Jack Thomas: And then how do you make it? What kind of tools do you need? So the key tool that I'm going to talk about here is what's called an adhesive.
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.460 Jack Thomas: So the glue
00:47:03.470 --> 00:47:05.480 Jack Thomas: that puts that plastic together
00:47:06.520 --> 00:47:09.119 Jack Thomas: can also put cars together made of metal.
00:47:10.330 --> 00:47:13.039 Jack Thomas: So when that glue came out many years ago
00:47:13.230 --> 00:47:17.359 Jack Thomas: I was asked to glue a limousine, a hummer.
00:47:17.610 --> 00:47:23.869 Jack Thomas: and I said to the owner, You normally weld them, but we can't glue it. And he said, why.
00:47:23.930 --> 00:47:26.869 Jack Thomas: And I said, when you glue that the crumple zone
00:47:27.020 --> 00:47:31.049 Jack Thomas: of that car will not be a safe, and it's not recognized by the Federal Government.
00:47:31.560 --> 00:47:40.859 Jack Thomas: and the owner said, give me the glue, and I will glue the car together because I'm not buying a $50,000 welder from you. When I could buy you $30 glue.
00:47:44.670 --> 00:47:59.580 Jack Thomas: So you, as business owners, all have different tools out there. And your key tool that I see today in the work environment are your employees, and that's what all they everyone says to me. And they buy these eap tools, these Hr tools.
00:47:59.750 --> 00:48:05.790 Jack Thomas: But it's implementation at the happy spot we have chief medical officers, we have Dr. Donna.
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:11.239 Jack Thomas: We have professionals that actually help you to implement.
00:48:11.390 --> 00:48:16.820 Jack Thomas: as you said, so simple as just grabbing your finger and and and having that feel
00:48:17.110 --> 00:48:21.469 Jack Thomas: little more education, I'm going to shift here and and share a business
00:48:22.690 --> 00:48:23.720 Jack Thomas: training
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:26.240 Jack Thomas: piece. Let me see if I can get in here.
00:48:28.410 --> 00:48:34.479 Jack Thomas: so I would like to thank Emily Schulman, my executive virtual assistant.
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:44.100 Jack Thomas: Emily has been working with me for the past 8 or 9 weeks, and it's just been fantastic that we're both comfortable and saying, we're neuro divergent.
00:48:44.790 --> 00:48:50.930 Jack Thomas: neuro divergent for my generation means, hey, Adhd, when Adhd started being diagnosed.
00:48:51.220 --> 00:48:53.989 Jack Thomas: we didn't. We didn't have those types of diagnoses.
00:48:54.940 --> 00:49:13.559 Jack Thomas: But over time I could look back and say, Hey, I wasn't diagnosed, but it it's not about what wasn't. It's how do I live today? And that's the key message, how do we live today? So here was a tool and working with Emily when we hopped online. We body doubled, she said. Oh, we were body doubling until I'll read this out loud.
00:49:13.930 --> 00:49:18.889 Jack Thomas: And again, another tool that we could Google. But it's the conversations and exchange
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:29.609 Jack Thomas: body doubling is the technique that can help people with neurodevergence, such as Adhd or autism stay focused and motivated while working on tasks.
00:49:29.720 --> 00:49:36.820 Jack Thomas: It involves having another person or a body double work with you in person, or virtually, as you complete a task.
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:45.670 Jack Thomas: the body double can be a passive presence, sitting quietly with you while you work, and you can model your behavior and stay on task.
00:49:46.720 --> 00:50:11.973 Jack Thomas: I know it sounds so simple and it sounds so out there. But having Emily with me the other day while we were focused or working on a onedrive, but while she stayed there my attention and focus went right in there, so welcome into the community because it sounds like you are stepping into your world, and we'll have you active with other people that are in our world, which is not only empowering.
00:50:12.410 --> 00:50:13.710 Jack Thomas: but it's free.
00:50:16.120 --> 00:50:19.910 Sarah Magee: Yeah, and thank you for inviting me into your world.
00:50:21.150 --> 00:50:45.249 Jack Thomas: W. Well, as I will share with you, as you will see, as I say with Emily, I'm a vessel, it's not my world just the doors opened and the universe said, Hey, right good people, matching up good energy, getting things done. And it's just kind of how life moves through, but at the same time you had to go through a break. You had to go through right your your own personal challenges. That
00:50:47.600 --> 00:50:48.957 Jack Thomas: right and and
00:50:50.110 --> 00:50:58.120 Jack Thomas: So the the next part next tool is something as simple as a magazine. I was in the supermarket autism.
00:50:59.540 --> 00:51:05.410 Jack Thomas: my generation again. I have you by a couple of decades, but in my generation
00:51:05.530 --> 00:51:11.409 Jack Thomas: nobody was diagnosed with a peanut allergy. Nobody was diagnosed with autism. Nobody was diagnosed.
00:51:11.730 --> 00:51:14.049 Jack Thomas: Now that doesn't mean that it didn't exist.
00:51:14.520 --> 00:51:30.290 Jack Thomas: But I'm pretty convinced now, at this point, in going through this, over the past 40 years, as our food has shifted, that the food has shifted, the air has shifted. But I'm not gonna get upset by it. I'm just gonna say, here we are. Now, what tools can we have?
00:51:30.450 --> 00:51:34.519 Jack Thomas: So one of the other tools I really wanted to touch upon was taste and touch.
00:51:35.750 --> 00:51:38.535 Jack Thomas: And so why? Taste is important?
00:51:39.150 --> 00:51:40.690 Jack Thomas: cause I love to eat.
00:51:42.660 --> 00:51:44.989 Jack Thomas: It's always an easy conversation with people.
00:51:48.120 --> 00:51:49.869 Jack Thomas: And it settles the belly
00:51:49.950 --> 00:51:52.250 Jack Thomas: which settles the mind. So
00:51:52.260 --> 00:51:57.820 Jack Thomas: my favorite go to settling food is, I'm addicted to pizza. I don't think I
00:51:58.050 --> 00:52:04.369 Jack Thomas: I don't think I've ever had bad pizza. So in Jersey. What's your favorite? Go to pizza? What's your choice?
00:52:04.370 --> 00:52:07.480 Sarah Magee: Ralph's pizzeria in Nutley, New Jersey. Yeah.
00:52:08.087 --> 00:52:13.549 Jack Thomas: Yes, Ralph's great choice history there great history.
00:52:13.970 --> 00:52:15.960 Sarah Magee: And the great term is Sue as well.
00:52:19.284 --> 00:52:24.285 Jack Thomas: Well, fortunately we're our our next guest. Next week is also from Nutley
00:52:24.710 --> 00:52:34.229 Jack Thomas: Rene, general manager at Nutley. Automotive will be coming on to speak. So Nutley is getting some nice shout out, coming out from the happy spot
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:38.049 Jack Thomas: while we're going international over here, reaching out into other communities.
00:52:38.778 --> 00:52:44.360 Jack Thomas: which is the last part I'm gonna fo I'm gonna dovetail off of is the global class.
00:52:44.590 --> 00:52:47.929 Jack Thomas: So the reason why I bring up this book, it's
00:52:48.470 --> 00:53:00.159 Jack Thomas: when I was talking with Yvonne on topics we're going to be talking about in this book. It talks about local focal focal. Localization, discovery.
00:53:00.220 --> 00:53:07.329 Jack Thomas: And so where you go. I I could see your face light up, Ralph said. I know exactly how you're feeling love. Ralph's pizza.
00:53:07.330 --> 00:53:08.567 Sarah Magee: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:08.980 --> 00:53:16.870 Jack Thomas: You got someone from around the world coming in, we say, Hey, you're coming in now. I may not take them to Ralph's. I may take in a start. Tab, I'm just saying.
00:53:16.870 --> 00:53:18.189 Sarah Magee: Sure, sure.
00:53:18.488 --> 00:53:35.789 Jack Thomas: Right? Right, but either one is a delicious, but it's being local in that taste and exchanging. That's a that's a key part within our business world. If I go over to Spain and I go to Barcelona, I'm gonna say to Yvonne, where are we going to eat? But that's how the relationships are being built.
00:53:36.500 --> 00:53:40.055 Jack Thomas: I did touch upon the word touch before. And
00:53:40.560 --> 00:53:45.870 Jack Thomas: I'm gonna just kind of throw it out to you. You know, being a woman in the workforce.
00:53:46.650 --> 00:53:58.289 Jack Thomas: If if your boss, male or female, doesn't matter, was to touch you, you know, in in your age group is that acceptable, not acceptable. What's what's your thought? There.
00:53:58.790 --> 00:54:01.300 Sarah Magee: Well, I would say, not acceptable.
00:54:01.410 --> 00:54:03.700 Sarah Magee: But it's
00:54:04.450 --> 00:54:08.570 Sarah Magee: when you're dealing with a different generation. It's and there's a
00:54:10.020 --> 00:54:12.400 Sarah Magee: in my circumstances as a
00:54:13.070 --> 00:54:14.840 Sarah Magee: big difference in power.
00:54:16.270 --> 00:54:18.960 Sarah Magee: It's a little awkward to
00:54:19.060 --> 00:54:26.019 Sarah Magee: speak up on that. You don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, even though you're uncomfortable yourself, and I know. I'll probably get some
00:54:26.450 --> 00:54:28.290 Sarah Magee: hate for that, but
00:54:29.540 --> 00:54:32.979 Sarah Magee: it's it's a place for it's room to grow.
00:54:33.550 --> 00:54:37.280 Jack Thomas: You know. Then all hold on! Hold on! First of all, this is a safe space, right.
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:38.230 Sarah Magee: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:38.230 --> 00:54:48.220 Jack Thomas: You. You're you're in a world right? But I I appreciate the candor right? So as as a boss when someone would come by, and if they were to touch your shoulder and say, Nice.
00:54:48.220 --> 00:54:49.330 Sarah Magee: Oh!
00:54:49.330 --> 00:54:50.710 Jack Thomas: That's what that's.
00:54:50.940 --> 00:54:59.589 Sarah Magee: Oh, I thought it was like a like the friends episode where Chandler gets, you know, a smack on the ass. Good job, you know? Buddy, like, no. Okay.
00:54:59.590 --> 00:55:12.910 Jack Thomas: So so. But but that's a great point, right? This is so. 25 years ago, Chandler Fran. Right? That could have been a generational thing where not really acceptable, where today it's completely unacceptable.
00:55:13.060 --> 00:55:14.850 Sarah Magee: Right, right.
00:55:15.150 --> 00:55:23.619 Jack Thomas: Right but that but that. But then, you know, if somebody was to touch your shoulder, great job, or to touch your hand, and you know, just to give an affirmation.
00:55:23.620 --> 00:55:27.649 Sarah Magee: No, I appreciate that affirmation. Actually, I do.
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:36.659 Jack Thomas: Right. And so that's what we do here at the happy spot. We take tools in a hard conversations, and we open up the door and we exchange.
00:55:36.730 --> 00:55:43.039 Jack Thomas: So we're about to round out. Our time is just about to come. It went so quickly today, so.
00:55:43.040 --> 00:55:43.730 Sarah Magee: Yeah, that.
00:55:43.980 --> 00:55:47.449 Jack Thomas: I just wanna say, thank you so much for joining us.
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:49.169 Sarah Magee: For having me.
00:55:49.170 --> 00:55:59.100 Jack Thomas: So binaural beats right for the focus, right? So, as I shared earlier my focus before I go into my workday, I'll play that for 15 min.
00:55:59.404 --> 00:56:23.189 Jack Thomas: And then I'll use other tunes. We'll be putting this out there. So if people want for healing, if they want to do for their own meditation. But these are the tools at the happy spot, and you can get it all for free. There is no charge. Our services are, if you hire us implemented, but we're providing all the strategic services out there. And right now you can go get Dr. Donna's remedy out there.
00:56:23.661 --> 00:56:36.119 Jack Thomas: And if you have any questions. Jack Thomas again, Sarah, thank you so much. Look forward to seeing you next week and have a great day. Everybody. I appreciate you coming in to play at the happy spot.
