Latest / Authentic Living / Thane Martin on Near-Death Insights, Happiness Equation, and Psychological Safety in Workplaces
Transcript
- 0:01Welcome to Authentic Living with Roxanne, a place where we have conscious conversations
- 0:08about things that really matter in our lives.
- 0:12And now here's your host, Roxanne Durhaj.
- 0:40Hi, everyone.
- 0:41It's Roxanne Durhodge.
- 0:42Thanks for tuning in again this week of authentic living with Roxanne.
- 0:46I have a special guest, and his name is Fain, which I love that name, by the way.
- 0:51He's Martin.
- 0:52And he owns a company.
- 0:54It's Pure Love.
- 0:55And Thane has used his life experience to create something that he's putting out into the
- 1:00world, and we're gonna talk a lot more about it.
- 1:03So, Thane, thanks so much for coming on today.
- 1:05Thank you so much for all that you do.
- 1:07So, Thane, tell us a little bit about your background.
- 1:10And I know we're gonna come up, and we're gonna talk about what you're putting out there with
- 1:13neuro some of the neuro things that you developed.
- 1:15So tell us a little bit about your background.
- 1:18A little bit background.
- 1:19Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 1:21Had a wonderful mother and father, older brother, younger sister.
- 1:25Had a normal life in a I'm gonna call it lower middle income family.
- 1:30And then I started being groomed by a little boy in the neighborhood when I was young.
- 1:35And then I wasn't first assaulted until I was eight years of age.
- 1:39Oh.
- 1:40And and I began being assaulted by adults at age eight, and it lasted until age 14.
- 1:47And I was abused by people that I went to church with.
- 1:50People that were supposed to protect me would harm me.
- 1:55And so I developed very peculiar childhood disorders.
- 2:00You can imagine when you grow up being abused like that inside of an organization that should
- 2:06be safe, it really tends to mess with the kids' head.
- 2:09So I've struggled with mental health pretty much most of my life up until I had a near
- 2:15death experience, August 2023.
- 2:19I had a a drowning.
- 2:21I accidentally drowned in my swimming pool.
- 2:25And I had a near death experience, and that was 08/13/2023.
- 2:30Since that time, I spent about two and a half years literally in this office writing,
- 2:37hypothecating, thinking, creating, and remembering what I remembered from that
- 2:44experience when I died.
- 2:46I'm a very vivid memory of that whole experience.
- 2:49And from that experience, my life completely changed.
- 2:53Prior to dying in the pool, I was a executive in the high-tech industry.
- 2:58I sold and managed software and hundreds of people.
- 3:02That's what I did for a living.
- 3:04When I drowned in the pool and my life came to a screeching halt and I had to start over, I
- 3:11realized that I couldn't go back to corporate America and that I didn't belong there and that
- 3:15I had a new calling.
- 3:16And that calling was how to teach people how to stand back up and claim the life that they
- 3:22should always have lived.
- 3:24I help people stand back up today through no matter what life throws at.
- 3:28I teach you that you can overcome it, and I teach you how to do it.
- 3:31And we do it with something called experiential neuroscience.
- 3:35So I am pioneering a new industry.
- 3:37It is a new way learning and a new way of reprogramming the mind, and we do it with
- 3:44experiential neuroscience.
- 3:46So it's an understanding that we are basically repetition machines.
- 3:50That's what our brains do.
- 3:51We observe the world around us.
- 3:53We see something, and then our subconscious mind uses what it identifies to make its own
- 4:00decisions, which it then serves up to your consciousness.
- 4:03So most people get trapped.
- 4:06That's the best way to describe it.
- 4:08The way that our brains work, it's designed to protect us, but that mere mechanism itself is
- 4:13actually what traps us once we get stuck.
- 4:16And so I know so many people that that come to me that are like, Thane, I wanna live an
- 4:22abundantly happy life.
- 4:23I wanna be amazing.
- 4:24And it goes back to this, the understanding that there is a physiological connection
- 4:31between what the body does and what the brain does, especially when it comes to emotions.
- 4:37So what I've learned is that most people, we've all wrote stories from our childhood and from
- 4:44our adolescence where we didn't have a fully developed brain, And we wrote the wrong story
- 4:49about an experience that really wasn't as bad as it was, but our brains and our amygdala
- 4:54embellished it to keep us.
- 4:56And that embellished story became a self limiting belief that I've carried throughout
- 5:01the rest of my life.
- 5:02So when I drowned in the pool, one of the things that changed for me was I realized how
- 5:08many things in my life that I was allowing in that didn't belong there.
- 5:13And so I
- 5:14So what happened with that?
- 5:15When you almost died Right.
- 5:17I'm fascinated by that.
- 5:18I'd actually just watched something on Netflix.
- 5:20Okay.
- 5:20It was called surviving or something like that.
- 5:23I talked to a lot of people that had gone through some kind of, you know, death
- 5:27experience.
- 5:27What was your experience then?
- 5:30I was given some medication I shouldn't have been given, and I had an allergic reaction to
- 5:35the medication while swimming.
- 5:37And I literally had a seizure while swimming in the pool.
- 5:40No.
- 5:41So I I couldn't control my body.
- 5:44I couldn't swim, and I literally drowned.
- 5:47I drowned.
- 5:48And I lost I consciousness remember struggling, and I don't remember the time between when I
- 5:56took my last breath and when I woke up at the bottom of the pool fully awake.
- 6:00There's a period of time that exists.
- 6:03That period of time is when I left my body and went someplace else.
- 6:08So when I say I left my body and went someplace else, I went to another space.
- 6:13That's what I would tell you.
- 6:15It is a space.
- 6:16It is a reality just like the reality that we have here, but it's very different in the way
- 6:22that it works and the way that it's organized.
- 6:25A lot of people say, Thane, did you meet God?
- 6:28A lot of people wanna know that, and the answer is yes.
- 6:32Right?
- 6:32I
- 6:33How did you know how did you know you met him?
- 6:35How did you know?
- 6:36You'd it's there's no it's not that's it's the funniest question to ask because there's no
- 6:43doubt who that is.
- 6:44There's no doubt.
- 6:45This is the one.
- 6:46This is the top of the food chain.
- 6:49That's what I would tell you because the other side is the most intense love you've ever felt,
- 6:57and it is truly unconditional.
- 6:59There is no judgment there.
- 7:01There is judgment here.
- 7:03There is no judgment there.
- 7:04It is love and understanding, and it is magical.
- 7:08And let me just say I struggled to stay there.
- 7:11I wanted.
- 7:12I wanted to stay, but it was obvious to me that my life had a different direction.
- 7:18And that's also why I was given the opportunity to come back.
- 7:22I negotiated that.
- 7:23I negotiated to come back.
- 7:25And and I've heard that story where people say it's so beautiful that they didn't wanna stay,
- 7:29but then they got told you have some more to do, and then that they need to go back.
- 7:34They need to close that loop on whatever they need to on this plane.
- 7:38So when that happened to you, something shifted in you that made you come up with this method,
- 7:45or was
- 7:46it When I got out of the pool, I wasn't able to just get up, walk away from I laid on the side
- 7:52of the pool for about two hours in the middle that I
- 7:55So you could get out on the pool up the pool on your own at some point?
- 7:58I could drag myself out of the pool, but I didn't have balance.
- 8:01When I lost my oxygen, I lost my ability to stand up.
- 8:05I lost my ability to balance.
- 8:07It affected me in that way.
- 8:09So all I could do was actually lay on the side of the pool, and I was actually part in the
- 8:13water, part out of the water cause my pool has a gradual slope for my grandkids to play in.
- 8:19So I was in the water, out of the water, and I was laying there.
- 8:23And here's what came to me.
- 8:26The entire universe exists in physical matter.
- 8:30And from my perspective, that moon, that stars, that cosmos, everything rotated in perfect
- 8:38balance.
- 8:40So wait a minute.
- 8:42If physical matter can stay in perfect balance, what's the language of the universe?
- 8:49It's math.
- 8:50The language of the universe is math because that's how you can get to a star.
- 8:55You have to know math in order to be able to get to a star.
- 8:58How does the planets evolve around the sun?
- 9:01That's so the language of the universe is math.
- 9:04So if the universe can use math to complete perfect balance, what happens if I applied the
- 9:09language of math, the physical matter of the human experience?
- 9:13That's called emotion.
- 9:15It's literally physical matter.
- 9:16So what came to me underneath the stars that night was that God managed to keep everything
- 9:22in perfect balance using math.
- 9:25So what if I could apply math to human emotion in my own life?
- 9:29Would it work, and would it become perfectly balanced?
- 9:32And that is the premise of what I have created.
- 9:34It's called the equation of life and abundant happiness, and it's using the five operators of
- 9:41as applied to the human emotional experience.
- 9:44And the beautiful thing about that is we all remember it because we learned it in grade
- 9:48school.
- 9:49Every single one of us learned these operators, and we all learned them in the same order.
- 9:53So the first thing that you were taught in grade school was addition.
- 9:57And addition is about adding those things in life that brings forth goodness and joy.
- 10:02That's addition.
- 10:04Subtraction is letting go of those things that don't serve us, that don't bring forth joy, and
- 10:09letting them go.
- 10:11Why do we carry negative things that hurt us?
- 10:13So what the thing upstairs that everybody gets to define asks us to do is to balance in the
- 10:19immediate moment.
- 10:20What do I add and what do I subtract in this exact moment to achieve a state of balance
- 10:26where you feel safe?
- 10:27K?
- 10:28That's all any of us can do.
- 10:30What do I add?
- 10:30What do I subtract to feel safe in this moment?
- 10:33Because a safe moment leads to a safe minute, and a safe minute leads to a safe hour and a
- 10:39week and a and a year.
- 10:41So it always begins in the moment, and that's really important because that's also where God
- 10:45works.
- 10:46God works in the magic of the now, not the past, the future.
- 10:50And multiplication is where we learn how to grow.
- 10:53That's where we learn how to align and embody our action and our intention.
- 10:59And when we align it with our friends, our family, our coworkers, and the thing upstairs,
- 11:05we grow.
- 11:06That's multiplication.
- 11:07Alright.
- 11:08So if I was using math, I had a $100.
- 11:11I now grew it with my friends and family.
- 11:13I now have a thousand.
- 11:15What did you learn next?
- 11:16Division.
- 11:17Division is about taking the expanded goodness and sharing it with those of us that helped
- 11:24create it.
- 11:24But there's one thing that needs to be in inserted there, and that's the principle of
- 11:29abundance is a cost that comes from the heart.
- 11:31So in that example, I had a $100, and now I turned it into a thousand.
- 11:36I need 600 to pay my bills this week, and god knows that human beings like safety because
- 11:44life is full of ebbs and flows.
- 11:45So humans need a little bit more than what we need in order to feel safe, and God's okay with
- 11:50that.
- 11:51So what's the number?
- 11:52Comes from the heart.
- 11:54Okay?
- 11:54So if I need 600 to pay my bills, I need another 150 to feel safe.
- 12:00So I'm keeping this $7.50 for me, and that other $2.50, I'm dividing and giving it back of
- 12:07where it came from.
- 12:08So division is about taking the excess abundance that we created together in love in
- 12:15this world and putting it back where it pains.
- 12:18Because if we do that, the whole system operates in perpetuity.
- 12:23Okay?
- 12:24Because we're not starving the middle.
- 12:26Because if we hold on to excess wealth and not putting it back into the system, eventually,
- 12:32you have the world that we live in today, which is completely divide.
- 12:36We have we're gonna have the world's first trillionaire, and yet we have people in Africa
- 12:41with distended stomachs because they don't have food.
- 12:44And yet we all go to sleep under the same sun.
- 12:46That's a problem.
- 12:48K?
- 12:48Our society is not healthy right now.
- 12:51Alright.
- 12:51Then the last operator is the equal sign, and the equal sign is gratitude.
- 12:58And gratitude is literally the most important word in existence.
- 13:04Because with gratitude, I can create love anywhere, anytime, any place.
- 13:10So the equipping life and abundant happiness is the four operators of math as applied, and it's
- 13:17also mixed in with the symbols of a butterfly.
- 13:20Right?
- 13:20Because we all come here basically as a caterpillar.
- 13:23Our basic needs are met.
- 13:24We just need to eat and poop.
- 13:26That's a caterpillar.
- 13:28Okay?
- 13:29And then we experience life.
- 13:30That's the chrysalis.
- 13:31We make mistakes.
- 13:32We do good things and do bad things.
- 13:34Sometimes we write the right story.
- 13:36Sometimes we write the wrong story.
- 13:38But either way, hopefully, you learn how to balance.
- 13:42You learn how to let go of the stuff you don't need, and you become what we call a a
- 13:47butterfly.
- 13:48You become a coolly flag.
- 13:49That's what this is.
- 13:50It's actually the logo for my company.
- 13:52And the four Oh,
- 13:53I said, this is the butterfly?
- 13:54It is.
- 13:55Oh, wow.
- 13:55Okay.
- 13:56Each one of these is representative of the human heart that is imperfect.
- 14:00So there's four imperfect hearts.
- 14:03This is my body and the remembrance for me to always take care of the body that I was given.
- 14:08Because that body has to carry my soul, so I better take good care of it.
- 14:12That's my body.
- 14:14The next wing down is my subconscious mind.
- 14:17K?
- 14:18I created that subconscious mind with my life story.
- 14:21So it is my job to make sure that life story is accurate and reflects what really happened, not
- 14:27what my mind thinks happened so I could protect my ego.
- 14:30K?
- 14:31So having a clear conscience and a clear ego, that's this over here.
- 14:36This butterfly wing is your relationship with God.
- 14:40Okay?
- 14:41Your own source for love.
- 14:43Who is that for you?
- 14:45And then the last wing is your soul.
- 14:47It's your soul.
- 14:49So when you keep your relationship between God, your soul, your body, and your mind together,
- 14:55and you balance it correctly, you get a transparent heart, which you can see here.
- 15:00And once you learn to live transparent and be authentic in all that you do, you become
- 15:05perfectly white as you see my necklace.
- 15:08It's a flip side, Randy.
- 15:09Everybody listening.
- 15:10It's a
- 15:10flip side of the pink
- 15:12It's all
- 15:12is all white.
- 15:13It is all light.
- 15:14We just we just probably like the soul.
- 15:16Right?
- 15:16Because our souls, we are a pure light.
- 15:18We are a 100% electrical energy, and we exist after this dispensation.
- 15:24The body goes back in the ground, but the spirit continues.
- 15:27And it's a beautiful place where I went, and I am my life's work is about helping me, and
- 15:35anybody that wants to join me return.
- 15:37Okay?
- 15:38Because that is where we belong.
- 15:40This is just a temporary place that we're here for just a short period of time.
- 15:44And that's But tell me about the neuroscience piece then.
- 15:47So what we do with experiential learning is this.
- 15:49Okay?
- 15:50I want I'm gonna take you back to September 11.
- 15:53You remember where you were that day?
- 15:54I was holding my six month old baby.
- 15:57Right.
- 15:57Do you remember what morning it was?
- 15:59I was about seven 07:15.
- 16:02Yep.
- 16:03And I turned on the TV, and I was holding him.
- 16:06And I looked at the TV, and I said, is this is this an I thought, oh, is this a joke?
- 16:11Yeah.
- 16:12And then I realized, and I yelled upstairs to my husband to say something really bad has
- 16:18happened.
- 16:18Yeah.
- 16:19So we all remember that day because we all experienced strong emotion.
- 16:24Right?
- 16:25What I've learned is that if you wanna change the human being, you have to learn while
- 16:30experiencing strong emotion.
- 16:32Because when you learn while experiencing strong emotion, you don't forget it, and your
- 16:36body integrates it physiologically and mentally at the same time.
- 16:42That's the difference.
- 16:43Okay?
- 16:44So what experiential neuroscience is is it is a way of installing behaviors inside the mind of
- 16:51a human being by experiencing and doing, not reading.
- 16:56For example, if you struggle with let's say you have an issue around body image.
- 17:03I'm not happy with the way that I look, and I judge myself because I'm too heavy or I'm too
- 17:10skinny.
- 17:11So imagine if there was an experience that I could create where you could enter a space of
- 17:18safety so you felt safe, where you could encounter that shadow that you have around your
- 17:25body image.
- 17:26So what if I could experience something in a safe place where I could maybe even take off my
- 17:33shirt in a swimming pool area that I've never done before?
- 17:38Would I be willing to do that in order to overcome this feeling that I have about my
- 17:44body.
- 17:45So in every exercise that I do, there is a sense there's always safety.
- 17:51There's always a sense of social risk because we don't grow, and we can't learn unless we're
- 17:57a little bit uncomfortable.
- 17:59I'm gonna make you a bit uncomfortable.
- 18:02And when you're a little bit uncomfortable, your brain goes into a malleable state of
- 18:06learning because the brain is going, wait a minute.
- 18:09Thane's asking me to do something where I might be a little bit embarrassed.
- 18:13So I better so while the brain is now learning, I then deliver a positive experience that the
- 18:19brain did not predict.
- 18:21That's called predictive mismatch.
- 18:23And when the brain gets something that it didn't predict, it forces it to update that
- 18:28memory to the physiological response just like said Temporarily.
- 18:32You're shifting the physiological even though you're uncomfortable, and then you're
- 18:35implanting something positive that overrides the negative.
- 18:40Yes.
- 18:40And it gets stored in the I gotta see the visceral.
- 18:43That is right.
- 18:44And it's all done inside of a very short window because the memory reconsolidation window is
- 18:50only open for a short period of time.
- 18:52So there are some exercises that will you can do in, three or four minutes, and yet there's
- 18:58enough risk.
- 18:59There are other exercises where that window's open longer because of the risk associated with
- 19:04the exercise.
- 19:05So here's the thing.
- 19:06Every we start, there's eight behavioral systems in the deck of cards.
- 19:11K?
- 19:11So there's cards in there to help you learn courage, empathy, confidence, identity,
- 19:18connection.
- 19:19So if you're somebody that struggles to say hello to people or you're afraid to be visible
- 19:25in public, then we're gonna start you out with a really simple card called Smile Marathon.
- 19:30And in Smile Marathon, you're gonna sit at the shopping mall or the food court.
- 19:34And for thirty minutes, you're gonna look at strangers that walk by, and you're gonna make
- 19:39eye contact and smile at every single one of them for thirty minutes.
- 19:43That's the exercise.
- 19:44So is there a little bit of risk?
- 19:45Yeah.
- 19:46Because you're gonna be smiling at people that you don't know.
- 19:49And they might say, why are you smiling at me?
- 19:50But
- 19:50here's what
- 19:51you Why they smile back, generally.
- 19:52Most people smile back.
- 19:54That's right.
- 19:54So Right.
- 19:55I got smilers.
- 19:55So I smile at everybody, and I hug everybody.
- 19:57So guess what?
- 19:58You know, you're smiling.
- 20:00I said, why wouldn't I smile at everybody?
- 20:02I talk to everybody.
- 20:03I don't care if it's a two year old or a 90 year old.
- 20:06But it's easy for you.
- 20:07And it's easy for me, but there's lots of people in the So what smile marathon does is
- 20:12think about it.
- 20:13I start my day off with no smiles, and and I I examine my feelings.
- 20:17And now I'm smiling for thirty minutes at all these people that walk by.
- 20:21What happens to my own demeanor?
- 20:23I get happier.
- 20:24You're gonna notice that by smiling at other people, I smile.
- 20:27I feel better.
- 20:28What else did I notice?
- 20:30Noticed that some people smile back.
- 20:33I noticed that some people smile, look me in the eye, and then look away.
- 20:37Why is that?
- 20:38Why do people look at me and then look away?
- 20:40Are they uncomfortable or am I uncomfortable?
- 20:43I noticed that I smiled at that person, and they did not smile back, and they didn't look
- 20:47at me.
- 20:48Is that me?
- 20:52Am I the one walking around in this world not looking at anybody or smiling?
- 20:56Because if this that is me, I need to change that behavior.
- 21:00Okay?
- 21:01So that is experiential learning.
- 21:03In thirty minutes, how much did you learn about yourself?
- 21:06How much did you learn about how you show up in the world?
- 21:09Did you find that you struggle to look at people and smile and make eye contact?
- 21:14Was that hard for you?
- 21:16Or was that easy?
- 21:17You see, that's experiential learning.
- 21:19So we move from awareness.
- 21:21The next exercise would be it's called name them to know them.
- 21:24So in that card, I'm gonna ask you to go into the world.
- 21:27I'm gonna ask you to find three people that you don't know and use their name at least twice in
- 21:33a sentence.
- 21:34That's the exercise.
- 21:35So that is gonna encourage somebody to safely be comfortable using their name.
- 21:43Because at the end of this program, the greatest card I have is the most difficult.
- 21:49And that card is gratitude with pure strangers.
- 21:52The greatest growth I have ever experienced is when I have loved somebody unconditionally.
- 21:59And you just can't do that with anybody.
- 22:01It takes gratitude.
- 22:03It does.
- 22:03So how can I use gratitude to open my heart and open the heart of the person I'm talking to?
- 22:09And if I do it just right, I'm gonna get a physiological response in the body.
- 22:15We call it a gratitude cocktail.
- 22:17It is going to be studied in a university because it is a phenomenon that can be
- 22:23replicated.
- 22:24And the phenomenon, from what we're seeing appears to promote massive rapid expansion of
- 22:30neuroplastic behavior.
- 22:32What it means is you are moving mountains of trauma in short record time.
- 22:38And that's why we're gonna study this.
- 22:40It will be offered to clinicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists, and
- 22:44hypnotherapists.
- 22:46It will be available.
- 22:47It will be studied.
- 22:48It will be called XMNI when it gets put into what we're doing with that.
- 22:53That sounds amazing.
- 22:54Yeah.
- 22:54I have a neuroscientist on staff.
- 22:57You do.
- 22:58Fantastic.
- 22:59Amazing.
- 23:00Amazing.
- 23:01So how do you think companies should think about what you're putting out there?
- 23:07People need health, obviously, and we know, unfortunately, being that the world is I've
- 23:13been using the word until because we thought we'd see it all, and now it's kinda literally
- 23:17we're on tilt.
- 23:18Right?
- 23:19There's so much uncertainty, which I'm across the border from you.
- 23:22I'm in Canada.
- 23:23But even between our countries and globally, like, every everything's just nothing that's
- 23:28staying still.
- 23:29And companies even more so because people are just trying to survive.
- 23:33How do you think your method, if it was applied in different environments, like different
- 23:41companies would help?
- 23:42Yeah.
- 23:42I'm glad you asked that.
- 23:44Right?
- 23:44Because I have an entire division of my company that does just that.
- 23:48Alright?
- 23:48Now what's different about what we do is I partnered with a company that we offer an AI
- 23:55program that gets installed in the communication systems of your company.
- 24:00And it uses AI and neuro linguistic programming and 1,200 nodes to measure the actual cultural
- 24:09health of your organization.
- 24:10Well, now I can give you a dashboard that will literally show you your burnout score, your
- 24:14executive capacity score, like everything.
- 24:18So this is your this is your
- 24:19So I put that in.
- 24:21And and what is different about me is I teach your employees how to balance their emotional
- 24:26energy.
- 24:27So that means when they get home and they get into an argue with their kid and they gotta
- 24:32come to work, they're not bringing that argument to work with them.
- 24:35You're able to balance your emotional energy at that moment.
- 24:39So what I'm teaching is emotional regulation to your employees.
- 24:43And that means they show up at work and give you a 100%.
- 24:47Right now, US companies lose 300,000,000,000 a year in lost revenue due to mental health.
- 24:54People that are not that are at work, that are not focused.
- 24:58So a 100% experiential learning is the new way of changing culture inside of companies.
- 25:05And when you partner that with AI and the ability to measure it, we at It's Pure Love,
- 25:10we're unstoppable.
- 25:11And that's why we're getting
- 25:12this Fantastic.
- 25:13Fantastic.
- 25:14So so where if people are like, I'm intrigued.
- 25:17I wanna know more, Vane, and I'm sure we'll stay connected.
- 25:20Where can people find out more about this and Yep.
- 25:23Get ahold of you?
- 25:24Because, like, I'm sure, like, I have questions.
- 25:25I'm sure others have questions as well.
- 25:27Yes.
- 25:28Where could they reach out and have a chat or or go to your site or whatever?
- 25:32Yeah.
- 25:32So you can find me at its purelove.com, itspurelove.com.
- 25:39You can read about Experiential Neuroscience.
- 25:42There are both courses for business and courses for personal.
- 25:45Okay?
- 25:46You can read about them.
- 25:47And then ultimately, what I encourage you to do is schedule thirty minutes with me.
- 25:52It's free.
- 25:53We'll talk about your life, my life, and if it's a fit, great.
- 25:57If not, no big deal.
- 25:58I work on a donation basis.
- 26:00I don't believe that mental health should be something that should be unaffordable.
- 26:05I think if anybody has the desire to heal, they should be able to heal.
- 26:09What I don't do is work for free.
- 26:11And the reason I say that is because free doesn't work.
- 26:14Free has no skin in the game.
- 26:15So if I'm gonna ask you to do some challenging things, I need you to have some skin in the
- 26:20game so you're not willing to walk away and waste my time.
- 26:23And I've had people do that, and that's not fair to me, and it's ultimately not fair to
- 26:27them.
- 26:28I do require a donation to be in the program.
- 26:31But at the end of the day, if you weren't happy with what I did, I'd give you your money back,
- 26:35because I'd never do that to anybody.
- 26:37I want you to be abundantly happy and live like I live, which is abundantly.
- 26:42Awesome.
- 26:42He's just glowing for those that won't see the video.
- 26:45So what what am I walking away with?
- 26:47I I think, you know, I always I I said to Thane that I feel so I feel so blessed that I get to
- 26:53meet amazing people like Thane and all the others that I've ever met all over the world.
- 26:58And I have these
- 26:59incredible
- 26:59fantastic conversations, and I get to learn, but I also get to put the information out to
- 27:04the world.
- 27:05If if we could help one person today, they've done our jobs.
- 27:09That's right.
- 27:09And so what I'm gonna say is we come in as a light.
- 27:13We get pricked and prodded by life, but that does not define you.
- 27:17And what Thane is talking about is just that.
- 27:20And I will say, you know, that light is always there.
- 27:23It's just the method of of retrieval or uncovering.
- 27:27And what Thane is talking about sounds amazing because we know that neurons that fire together
- 27:33wired
- 27:34Together.
- 27:34And, you know, by something like what he's talking about, it's about getting into the
- 27:39body, and trauma lives in the body.
- 27:41Yep.
- 27:41Be it big or small t trauma, so to recognize another mental I'm
- 27:45so glad you said that, big and small t, because that's so everyone's got trauma.
- 27:49We all do.
- 27:50So, you know, any methods that you've like, theta's putting out in the world helps.
- 27:55And for employers, when you think about it, the better we're able to equip people to feel
- 27:59psychologically safe, then they're able to show up and bring out the best version of themselves
- 28:04to create create this the innovation and the creativity and the spontaneity that's needed to
- 28:10drive whatever brand or company they're working for to recognize this investment really.
- 28:15It comes back to a two probably ten, fifty fold.
- 28:19So to think about investing in your employees.
- 28:21So, Thane, thanks a lot again.
- 28:23Everyone, thanks so much for hanging out with me again.
- 28:25I feel truly blessed.
