1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,280 Last week I shared that I've been thinking a lot about how we 2 00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:05,080 talk about mental health in the workplace and how being a mom of 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,480 twins while running this podcast really opened my eyes. 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,360 I shared with you that I hit a wall trying to juggle the 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040 demands of motherhood, working, keeping up with recordings, and 6 00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,440 maintaining that work life balance that I am literally 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,000 always preaching about. And between the responsibilities 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,120 of being a working mom and my pack days, my. 9 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,000 Focus was just super. Scattered my sleep, frankly 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,720 wasn't really great, and I really just felt like I was 11 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,400 getting by. And that experience led me to 12 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,119 discover this concept of mental. Wealth which I shared. 13 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,720 Has completely shifted. How I think about workplace 14 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,880 Wellness and instead of just managing mental health 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,040 reactively mental. Wealth is about proactively. 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,840 Investing in your mental resilience. 17 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,640 Think of it as building a mental savings account that you can 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,600 draw. From when work gets challenging, 19 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,160 I've been exploring different tools and habits that support 20 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,640 this mental wealth building and I recently discovered something 21 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,920 that's become a game changer in my daily routine. 22 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Magic Mind reached out and sent me their mental performance 23 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,080 shots and Sleep elixir to try, and what caught my attention was 24 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,320 how they aligned with the five pillars of mental wealth. 25 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,320 Sleep, diet, exercise, stress management, and what they call 26 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,520 exogenous compounds. Basically the supplemental tools 27 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,240 that help optimize your mental state. 28 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,160 So here's what's fascinating. They've created this 24 hour 29 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,280 approach to mental performance. The daytime shot helps with 30 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,440 focus and clarity. And I've been using this for my 31 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,000 morning podcast recordings, and I've noticed that I am much 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,400 sharper and much more present in my interviews. 33 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640 And then their Sleep Elixir helps you wind down and get 34 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880 better rest, which we know is crucial for making good 35 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,640 decisions, especially in HR. And I should mention, I only 36 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,720 take vitamins. I'm not someone who generally 37 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,680 relies on or frankly even believes in other kinds of 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920 supplements. But Magic Mind has actually made 39 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,680 an impact on me. And in fact, I didn't agree to 40 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,960 working with them until I had the. 41 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,440 Opportunity to truly. Test its efficacy and I've done 42 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,160 that and plus magic mind is vegan friendly so for someone. 43 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Like me who keeps. Kosher. 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 This was really important, and what I appreciate is that 45 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,040 they're not positioning this as some miracle cure. 46 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320 It's one piece of a larger mental wealth strategy. 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,120 The formula includes time release caffeine to avoid that 48 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000 dreaded afternoon crash, and they've added specific herbs for 49 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 stress reduction, which is honestly something we could all 50 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,080 use more of in HR Plus it doesn't. 51 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,600 Replace your regular. Caffeine routine, thank 52 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,160 goodness. So I drink the mental 53 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,360 performance shot alongside my morning coffee. 54 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,120 And for my listeners who also want to invest in their mental 55 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,160 wealth this January, Magic Mind is offering an. 56 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,000 Exclusive 45.

After successfully navigating 87 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,640 the vibrant fields of fashion design, systems engineering, 88 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280 cloud engineering, cloud training, and team coaching, 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Anthony Cevallos found his true vocation igniting the spark of 90 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,680 inspiration and others.

Such appearances are 96 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,800 complemented by participation in countless community meetups 97 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,400 where he has imparted his knowledge and insights. 98 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,280 Furthering an understanding of leadership, happiness, and 99 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,760 empowerment. Anthony guides individuals to 100 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,960 prioritize their happiness in every aspect of their lives. 101 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,280 By offering straightforward, impactful strategies. 102 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,120 Through keynote speeches, coaching, and workshops, he 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,560 empowers people to unlock their full potential. 104 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,800 This is not just his career, it's his mission to help make 105 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,920 the world a more inspired and joyful place. 106 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 So, Anthony, welcome to the podcast. 107 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,760 Thank you so much for being here. 108 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,720 Thank you so much for having me, Tracy. 109 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,800 I'm so excited to be here. Of course. 110 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,200 Oh my gosh, likewise. And you really do put a smile on 111 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,600 my face, which I know is a big part of your mission, as I've 112 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,720 just read. But before we talk all about 113 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,080 happiness, even though it's inevitable because of what you 114 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,320 do, why don't you kick us off by telling us a bit more about your 115 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,000 career transformation and journey? 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,200 Because what I read in the bio showcases a lot of skills and 117 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,240 backgrounds that you possess. Yeah, so happiness wasn't 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120 necessarily. When I talk about happiness, I 119 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,880 talk about the what they call eudemonic happiness, which is 120 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,560 the inner happiness, not the happiness where you give 121 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,360 somebody an ice cream cone and then half an hour later they're, 122 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,440 you know, distraught again. So doing with that in mind, 123 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,960 looking back into my career journey, I actually started off 124 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,760 as a fashion designer and I was a fashion designer for a good 125 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360 chunk of a decade. And what happened was the 126 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,120 industry imploded here in Canada and I was left to, I was left 127 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,160 for broke to feed my family and I didn't know what to do. 128 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,880 So I had some friends in tech that told me how much money they 129 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080 were making. So naturally I was like, well, 130 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120 this might be a great way to feed my family. 131 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,800 So so I jumped into tech. I became a systems administrator 132 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,360 for approximately 9 years. I jumped into cloud engineering 133 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,520 and then DevOps engineering and then eventually a cloud trainer. 134 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,720 And when I became a cloud trainer, I, I ended up wanting 135 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,360 to jump back into the people side of things. 136 00:06:54,200 --> 00:07:00,080 And that's when I discovered coaching and I started to be a 137 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,800 team coach. But during my team coaching, 138 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,560 something very interesting happened. 139 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,160 And that is a leader had asked me, Anthony, how is it that 140 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,440 you're always so happy? What is your secret? 141 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,280 And I didn't know what to tell him. 142 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,120 I, I really didn't have an answer. 143 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:28,800 So I started to reflect on what is my recipe for happiness, so 144 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400 to speak. And I started to look at how, 145 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,160 how I could even think about something like that. 146 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,000 And if I could come up with a recipe for happiness, how could 147 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,760 I share that with others so that way they can experience exactly 148 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,720 what I'm experiencing every single day that I go into work, 149 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,200 'cause I, I'm, I'm always, I always look at the positive 150 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480 side. I always look at, you know, how 151 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,360 can we make things better at work? 152 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,800 And I think you can agree, Tracy, that when we show up 153 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,120 happier at work, other people take on that same mindset. 154 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040 They take on that same emotion, that behavior. 155 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,960 Definitely. Yeah. 156 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:23,640 So when when I started to do that, I started to develop areas 157 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:30,160 where I found that people were focusing on that really drove 158 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,120 and fostered happiness. And this is where I came up with 159 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,000 my own framework, which is what I call the happiness blueprint. 160 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,360 Because naturally, you know, the same thing that makes me happy 161 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000 doesn't necessarily make other people happy. 162 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,800 So each person has their own framework, their own recipe for 163 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,360 happiness that they can follow in order to foster more 164 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,440 happiness not just in their home life, but in their work life as 165 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760 well. Yeah, that's amazing. 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,160 I mean, one of the thoughts that I had, even though I already 167 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,840 knew this background, your background, when I it just 168 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,960 dawned on me that you've made a business out of something that 169 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,440 really comes naturally to you, which is something we all should 170 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:23,440 hopefully be able to do one day. You know, it's like, I think 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,040 about how I started this podcast. 172 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,160 It's like, yeah, like this is what I do everyday. 173 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,440 And for you, you're like you, you really figured out how to 174 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:37,160 help people tap into the skills that they have and tap into a 175 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,960 way of thinking that can enable them, can empower them, can 176 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,800 empower the teams that work for them. 177 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,160 I mean, it's, it's pretty cool. I don't know why I didn't think 178 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,360 about that before. I'm like, you made a whole 179 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,800 business. Yeah, out of your being 180 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,240 yourself. And that's amazing. 181 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,080 There's actually a story behind that tracing. 182 00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:00,280 So when I decided to become a keynote speaker, something had 183 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,000 happened. And that was a few months before 184 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,960 that my mother had passed away. And so I spent a lot of time 185 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,040 reflecting on the learnings that she left me because naturally we 186 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,440 want to share the learnings from, you know, the people that 187 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:24,440 we love the most to to others. And what I found was what was 188 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,440 hidden underneath was my purpose. 189 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,920 And that was spreading that happiness, that positivity and 190 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,640 gratitude. So when I was growing up, my 191 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:41,560 father was very abusive. And how I was able to navigate 192 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:47,280 that was my mother gave me these tools to navigate that chaotic 193 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,440 time. And so every day, she was 194 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,640 telling me like a mantra, Anthony, you got to be happy 195 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,360 about what it is that you do. You got to be grateful for what 196 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,440 you have that others do not. And you have to be positive in 197 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120 the face of adversity. And you can get through this. 198 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,160 And she didn't really know about the abuse, but these tools 199 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,960 helped me navigate these chaotic times through my career changes, 200 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,360 through tough times when I was broke, and even through 201 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760 navigating corporate culture, as we all know, is pretty chaotic. 202 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,680 So when I when I learned about these tools, when I unveiled 203 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:39,920 these tools, I realized that this is my mother's legacy and 204 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,240 that I needed to share these tools with others and give them 205 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,680 a way for them to action it. And that's where the Happiness 206 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,760 Blueprint just made so much sense. 207 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,640 Yeah, thank you for sharing so openly what you're, what you 208 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,120 experienced as you were growing up and also what inspired you to 209 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:08,160 really dig deep and figure out what you know, emboldens you and 210 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,400 keeps you going every day. And you know, I, I hope in some 211 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760 ways that there isn't relatability to your story, but 212 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040 I know realistically there probably is. 213 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,320 And someone out there listening is going to feel represented by 214 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,800 you sharing your experiences and hopefully will feel your your, 215 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760 your mom's essence coming through and that you have to be 216 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,600 positive and you have to, you know, keep going and keep keep 217 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,800 looking forward and ahead. And that's amazing. 218 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,040 And when I think about even kind of relating this to the 219 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,480 corporate culture side of things, as you mentioned, there 220 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,960 is there can be a lot of chaos and chaos is extremely 221 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,440 unsettling, like extremely. And whether it's in our personal 222 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,240 lives or in our professional, when there is that sense or 223 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,360 feeling of being unsettled there it all it does is breed more 224 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,080 unsatisfied or dissatisfaction, more toxicity, more concern, 225 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,880 more culture issues. And so it, it behooves us, as 226 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,320 my, my mom likes to say, it behooves us to make company 227 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,520 cultures and corporate cultures much more positive and much less 228 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,160 chaotic, or at least if they are chaotic, enabling people to 229 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520 really be able to navigate that chaos. 230 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,960 So I guess with that, when, when we think about your blueprint to 231 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640 kind of navigate it a little bit, what are, where do you 232 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,560 start with it? Like what does the happiness 233 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,400 blueprint look like for someone who begins using it? 234 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,120 Yeah. So over time, I have found that 235 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,680 there are 6 elements that allow people to foster more happiness 236 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,520 in in what it is that they do. And those six elements are 237 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:03,160 inspiration, mindset, empowerment, alliance, care and 238 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,600 transformation. So in inspiration, we're looking 239 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,480 at goals. What are we doing towards 240 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,480 building and challenging ourselves towards those goals? 241 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,560 And when we achieve them, are we taking the time to celebrate 242 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,560 them so that way we can get motivation to create more goals, 243 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,920 right? The next one is mindset, and 244 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,440 we're talking about positive communication. 245 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,480 We're talking about embracing change. 246 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,160 So no longer are we looking at things like, oh, well, that's 247 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,640 the way that we've always done it. 248 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,040 Well, I'm sure you've heard that a couple of times. 249 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,080 Too many to count. Yeah. 250 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,040 So, so embracing that change and then empowerment, we're looking 251 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,160 at creating a learning mindset. We're looking at empowering 252 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,600 others by understanding our own strengths, what we're good at 253 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,720 and why we're not doubling down on it because we can't be good 254 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,200 at everything. So why not double down on our 255 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,320 strengths and leave the rest to, to others something that they're 256 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,760 good at or maybe build new strengths, right Alliance, we're 257 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,600 talking about relationships. So I, I firmly believe that this 258 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,480 is a, a huge part of happiness. There's been so many studies, 259 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,840 latest study from Harvard, It was a the longest running study 260 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,040 on happiness is that the quality of your relationships matter. 261 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,640 And who doesn't love a work bestie, right? 262 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,960 You get to work and you're like, Hey, you'll never guess what 263 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,560 happened over the weekend, right? 264 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,800 You have that work bestie where you, you, you love to chat with 265 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,160 them. And over time, it doesn't just 266 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,840 become a a personal relationship. 267 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,320 It becomes both a personal and work relationship because we 268 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,320 spend a third of our time at work. 269 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Why the heck are we going to show up to just do work? 270 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560 And for those of you listening, I'm doing that in air quotes. 271 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880 We just want to show up to just do work. 272 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,040 Sure, we want to do our work. We want to be fulfilled, but the 273 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,440 same time we want to do it with people that we enjoy doing it 274 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,760 with. Right. 275 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,640 OK, moving on into care. So care, we're talking about 276 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,400 the, the all time buzzword, psychological safety, right? 277 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,320 We want to feel safe enough to, to talk about the things that 278 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,000 matter, to be empathetic with others or, you know, there's 279 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120 times where people show up with that toxic positivity. 280 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,080 Oh, don't worry about it, Tracy. There's, there's a brighter side 281 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,000 to this. No, people need to be empathetic 282 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,319 and, and take into consideration other people's feelings, right? 283 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,240 And, and this way, it opens up the space to not only people 284 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,079 voicing their opinions, but it opens up the space for 285 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,880 innovation. Because now we can fail and we 286 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:25,359 can fail with with grace, right? And finally, transformation is 287 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,040 all about measuring and iterating. 288 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:34,560 So we all love to measure things that, you know, where we can do 289 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,360 better. And this actually ties into 290 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,200 feedback. So instead of expecting 291 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,720 feedback, you should always solicit feedback to say, what am 292 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,120 I? What did I do good? 293 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,960 What can I work on and do better on and then iterate on it. 294 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,840 And so putting this all together, you see where you're 295 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,840 concentrating on where your focus is. 296 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:07,640 And although focus may be bigger in one area and smaller in in 297 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880 others, it doesn't mean that you're, you know, you're, you're 298 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,600 doing bad. It just means that your focus is 299 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,200 somewhere else. So now you can see where are my 300 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000 gaps. So if I'm not building 301 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,640 relationships at work, maybe alliance is something that I 302 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,280 need to look into. Or if I'm using negative phrases 303 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,920 like, you know, oh, well, if so and so gets gets hit by a bus, 304 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,680 I'm sure you've heard that a few times. 305 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,160 Yeah. So taking out that negative 306 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:50,000 mindset can now bring us space for more positive mindset. 307 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:54,640 So once you start noticing the gaps, that's where you can start 308 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,440 taking action or creating action steps to improve, to bring more 309 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,120 happiness and bring more you demonic happiness and feel 310 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:11,080 fulfilled that you're actually doing good and you want to show 311 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,440 up to work and Mondays are no longer mundane. 312 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,840 Yeah, yeah, this is a great point. 313 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,680 I first of all, I love that there are different ways to look 314 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,960 at this and you kind of talked about it in the sense that if 315 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,440 you've noticed a gap in your own experience at work that that can 316 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,680 help you. Obviously, you know, you meaning 317 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,240 generally that can help someone that can help one, to basically 318 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,760 figure out where they need to spend more time and focus and 319 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,840 energy and attention. And two, that the two of the the 320 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,320 I guess words that start stood out to me were alliance and 321 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,720 care. Alliance to me is probably the 322 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,520 the biggest thing that I put emphasis on every day is this, 323 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,600 you know, sense of needing to build trusting relationships in 324 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,000 the workplace, especially because it's those trusting 325 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,360 relationships that help someone navigate. 326 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,440 Difficult situations. It helps them navigate their 327 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,400 careers, it helps them grow, it helps them develop, change, 328 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,400 whatever it might be. And I think one of the things 329 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,440 that continues to be a thread throughout all of my episodes is 330 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,360 this emphasis on building really strong trusting relationships. 331 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,080 Because someone could have a lot of relationships in the 332 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,040 workplace, they might not all be trusting. 333 00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,720 So I always like to say trusting relationships, you don't want to 334 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,880 have empty ones. So I love that Alliance is one 335 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:53,080 of those key monikers and care, you know, you said it, it's a 336 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,960 buzzword or a buzz phrase, psychological safety. 337 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,960 It's true. But I love, love, love that you 338 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,320 brought it back to innovation because and that feeling of 339 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320 being able to make mistakes because this, this, I feel like 340 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560 this is probably going to be my theme for 2025 because I've been 341 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,800 talking about it a lot. I know you heard it here first. 342 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,840 I, I, I recently did a presentation for a women's 343 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,880 networking group and I talked about how building a culture of 344 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,320 innovation inspires and fosters deeper employee engagement and 345 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,080 drives business results without you even having to think about 346 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,760 it. Because at the end of the day, 347 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,640 and it's very, very much on the nose with what you've said and 348 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,080 what you've shared from your happiness blueprint, that when 349 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,240 people feel safe enough to make mistakes and even fail, that's 350 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,720 where progress happens. That's where innovation pulls 351 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,200 through. And you know, it's funny because 352 00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:56,000 I often, I don't know if, if you feel this way, you probably 353 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,880 think about this way more than I do. 354 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,120 I sometimes I'm like if someone asked me for an example on from 355 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:08,480 when I failed at something, it would be kind of hard for me to 356 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,760 find something. Not because I've never failed, 357 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,520 because obviously everyone fails at something, but because I 358 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,080 because I've never like really spent a ton of time thinking 359 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,440 about my failures. And when I really like confront 360 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,640 that within myself, I'm like, I kind of feel like that's because 361 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,800 I don't allow myself to fail, but actually failing is a really 362 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,120 important part of success, right? 363 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:39,280 Actually, I know it's. If you don't mind, Tracy, I want 364 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,120 to take this moment to focus on that just for one second. 365 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,880 Now, there's an exercise that I love to do with others and that 366 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,000 is to write out a failure resume. 367 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:58,280 So going through all of your, your jobs, your past history and 368 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,720 writing down the failures that you had in those jobs. 369 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,280 And when you start sharing those as a team, you see how 370 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,200 ridiculous it is because everyone has failed, right? 371 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,560 So when you do that, even with yourself, then you can start to 372 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,240 see the positive side. You can start to see, what did I 373 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,440 learn from that? Oh my God, that's how I got to 374 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880 this area. That's how I got to this place. 375 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:31,080 Hmm, I'm gonna have to do this. I, I, I'm gonna write my failure 376 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080 resume and maybe by the time this is out, I'll be able to 377 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,480 post it on Instagram or something like here. 378 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,000 All the times I failed, you know, it's, it's so important 379 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,080 like let's be like even more on the nose about this. 380 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,080 Like the one of the things that sticks out to me in terms of 381 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,280 like failure or like fear of failure is that people have an 382 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,040 incredible sense of of self, right. 383 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480 Like this is I've just shared that I I almost don't allow 384 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,600 myself to go there because of my pride. 385 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,080 That's basically what I've just said. 386 00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:09,000 So if I right, yeah, ego. So if we all like take a, a part 387 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,960 our, you know, bring inflate our egos just a little bit, we 388 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,560 actually will probably manage to drive our careers forward even 389 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,920 faster. You know, there's, there's so 390 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,960 much in that. Like when I think about the 391 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,440 beauty that comes with finding through these alliances, through 392 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,200 these trusted relationships, an opportunity to hear feedback to, 393 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,920 to make changes to our, you know, the way that we work or 394 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,000 the way that we act or the way that we do things. 395 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,360 It's in those moments where it might not, we might not realize 396 00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,240 it, but there's some semblance of failure. 397 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,520 And that's OK. That's not inherently a bad 398 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,680 thing. It just means that through that 399 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,600 feedback, we haven't this opportunity to make huge changes 400 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,360 or differences in the ways that we work. 401 00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:05,520 And, and I, I often think about like playing sports in high 402 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,000 school, for example, or just like growing up and I'm, I was a 403 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,360 catcher in softball pretty much my whole life. 404 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,800 And I, whenever I think about failure, I know, fun fact, 405 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,680 right? Whenever I think think about 406 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,880 failure, I actually like I it's hard, as I've shared, it's hard 407 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,360 for me to figure out or find something from a professional 408 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:31,840 experience, but my mind always goes to my batting average. 409 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,240 And my sophomore year of high school, it was miserable, 410 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,760 Miserable I. Mean Tracy, you also have to 411 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,080 look at it as when you accept the things that you know you 412 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,520 failed at or you know you you didn't do so well at, that 413 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720 actually allows you to show up more authentically. 414 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560 True. When you can do that, when 415 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,720 everyone on your team can do that, it becomes so beautiful 416 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,400 because now everyone's just showing up as they are. 417 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,280 No one's hiding. Anything. 418 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960 Totally. Where were you when I was on a 419 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,960 sophomore in high school? It took me, it took me a whole 420 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,320 season to realize nobody actually cares what you're like. 421 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,520 Just do, you know, just just do what you're just apply your 422 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,320 skills and don't worry about what everyone thinks and just do 423 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,240 it. And you know, like, I don't 424 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,920 know, it's funny because as like I've been reflecting on like 425 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,000 growing up a lot recently and it's like you grow up and you 426 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,800 think that everyone is watching you and judging you and thinking 427 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,000 about all the every single thing that you're doing. 428 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,440 But actually you are your own worst critic and failure is 429 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760 totally OK. Exactly. 430 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,000 Am I off base with that? Am I right? 431 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,160 Yeah. No, no, you're absolutely right. 432 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,920 And well, I mean, we also have to look at it as you know, if if 433 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,960 you didn't fail, then you wouldn't learn and you wouldn't 434 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520 grow. Totally and. 435 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,920 When you don't grow, you die. Yeah, that's true. 436 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,880 Like every other plant or living thing. 437 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,440 Exactly, Exactly. Yeah, yeah. 438 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,200 It's a really. Good point. 439 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,360 Cares about what you know, what award you won that day, or or 440 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,800 even if you did win an award and everyone's clapping for you that 441 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080 one day, the next day no one cares. 442 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,160 That's right, nobody cares. I don't know if you watched 443 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,400 Schitt's Creek when I mean it actually is a Canadian show 444 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,600 right? So you probably didn't. 445 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,000 I'm in my like 3rd or 4th rewatch at this point and this 446 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,600 phrase of like nobody cares takes me back. 447 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,960 This is very nuanced. Takes me back to the episode of 448 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,080 where David Rose is getting his license because he let it expire 449 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,520 and he's so freaked out and Alexis is sitting in the 450 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,200 passenger seat and she's like David, nobody cares. 451 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,400 And he's like, what do you mean everybody cares? 452 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,480 And she's like David nobody cares. 453 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,680 And it pans to the you know, he kicks her out of the car and it 454 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,600 pans to the scene where he's on the road test and the the 455 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,640 driving instructor in the passenger seat is a DJ and would 456 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,960 much rather be doing that because he was on his phone the 457 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,000 whole time. And David passed his Rd. test 458 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040 and he realized nobody actually cares. 459 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,120 And so like, I realized this is like a little bit facetious, but 460 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,600 it's something that like, as we grow and as we like swallow our 461 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,840 pride, we find more humility. We learn from one another. 462 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,600 We, you know, practice some additional empathy in the 463 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,920 workplace. Like, you know, this is where 464 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,640 these are the learning moments where we realize, like everyone 465 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 is very concerned with themselves and all we can do is 466 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,440 our best and support those around us to do their best. 467 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,040 You know, that's another shit's key Greek reference for us. 468 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,000 So another thing I wanted to point out, Tracy, is that the 469 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,840 Happiness Blueprint doesn't just work at work. 470 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840 It actually works at home too, like in. 471 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,640 Your oh I love. That, yeah. 472 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,320 So when you think about things like inspiration, well, how do 473 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,280 you get inspired? I mean, when you set a goal for 474 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,160 yourself, you know, whatever the case may be here, you know, 475 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,480 January 1st coming up, chances are somebody's going to want to 476 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,920 lose weight. I want to lose 10 lbs. 477 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,160 And you get inspired, you get sparked, you're like, yeah, I'm 478 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,440 going to do this. Now, a lot of times people fall 479 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,160 off, and that's OK. But with a lot of our goals that 480 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,160 are very important to us, it drives us, right? 481 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,640 So, you know, using the Happiness Blueprint in a 482 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,280 personal capacity can really bring forth a lot of happiness. 483 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,560 I love that. And you know what, it's 484 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,680 probably, I mean, I'm going out on a limb here and you can 485 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040 totally correct me if you think I'm wrong, but it's probably 486 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,880 more important in some ways to get this, you know, down to a 487 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,400 science in some ways personally before thinking about the 488 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,720 professional. Because otherwise it's probably 489 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,080 a little bit inauthentic, right? If we're, you know, focusing on 490 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920 all of these things like building trusting relationships, 491 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,680 finding inspiration, practicing empathy, if we're not going to 492 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,440 do those things at home and or for ourselves or with the right. 493 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,800 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I love that. 494 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,520 I love something that can be applied full circle 360 without 495 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,640 regard to whether you're at home or at work. 496 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,360 And some cases home is work. Like for most of us, or at least 497 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,200 you and I, I think home is work. And you know, it's, it's nice to 498 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,080 know that, you know, people can kind of take this as blueprint. 499 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,280 I was thinking of another word, but actually blueprint is the 500 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,840 perfect word, which is why it is called the happiness blueprint. 501 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,400 And they can take it in and apply it to their lives. 502 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,240 So I'm curious, I know we, we are just about a time here, but 503 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,400 I'm curious how you have learned from your own blueprint. 504 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,920 Like have you found throughout your life or throughout your 505 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,560 experience as a professional where you kind of had to fill 506 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920 some gaps or you you noticed that you were kind of moving 507 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:19,480 away from one of those mantras? Yeah, So people always ask me, 508 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,160 they're like, Anthony, how many times do you go through the 509 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,560 happiness blueprint and rate yourself? 510 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,600 And for me, I rate myself once 1/4. 511 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,200 So I look at, you know, what am I doing with regards to like 512 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,320 feedback? I don't solicit feedback enough, 513 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,760 right? Ever since I started my 514 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,680 business, I, I focused less on inspiration. 515 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,920 And there came a point where I'm like, why do I feel so black? 516 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,120 It's because I had no goals. I had nothing to motivate me, 517 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,160 right? Where I really shine was 518 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,600 relationships. And I've always shine in that 519 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,200 element because relationships mean so much to me, right? 520 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,560 But yeah, I, I do it every quarter just to check on myself, 521 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,680 to see how I'm doing, where I can work on what are the gaps 522 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,600 and, you know, to, to, to make me a happier person. 523 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,360 Because if I'm happier, then I show up happier. 524 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,080 I show up happier for my family. I show up happier for my 525 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,360 friends. Even when I'm up on stage, I 526 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,760 show up happier. Yeah, that's amazing. 527 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,520 So, so yeah, it's, it's, it's something that I love to do 528 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,560 regularly. And you know, now that I've 529 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,320 understood how it branches off on a personal level, I've also 530 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,800 launched a program for leaders. So that way they can do it too, 531 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:02,440 because naturally the if you're a leader in a, in a company and 532 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,040 you have, you know, you support however many teams you support, 533 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,680 they're looking at you to be the model. 534 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:16,160 What can I get away with? And if you're not showing up as 535 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,680 you, as your most happiest self, as your most engaged and 536 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,720 fulfilled self, then chances are your team won't be doing the 537 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880 same thing. Totally. 538 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,920 It's really so true. There's a there is a lot of 539 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:39,320 observation that happens when a team is observing their, you 540 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,800 know, is looking at their leader there, you know, you kind of are 541 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,520 in a fishbowl and they're have, it's like, sorry, not sorry. 542 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,440 But if you didn't know that when signing up for the job, you know 543 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,120 it now. Everyone's watching every like 544 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,840 just like we said before, nobody cares. 545 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,880 Actually, when you become a leader, everybody cares and you 546 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,920 kind of have to model all of the things that you want to see that 547 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,960 you need to see that you want your team to care about. 548 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,159 All of you know, that's that's kind of the stencil for 549 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,120 everything is that person in that role. 550 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,520 So that's a great point and I love to hear that you're helping 551 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,520 leaders specifically. I think leadership training and 552 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:25,199 coaching in general tends to be not always like a first, a first 553 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,199 thing for companies sometimes to look at, you know? 554 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,639 Yeah, exactly. So maybe sometimes we gotta 555 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:35,280 start at the leadership level, you know, and then let it all 556 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,280 trickle down.
