00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.640

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.039

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>four guests this hour and we will talk about four

12
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>really different subjects. I enjoy doing this and I hope

13
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 2>some of you enjoy listening to it. Let us start

14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>off with our first guest tonight, and I would like

15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to introduce to all of you from Tough's University. He

16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>is the director of Optometry at the New England I

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Center at Tough's Medical Center, and it is doctor g

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Hey Kwan DOCTA Quan. Welcome tonight, said, it's nice to

19
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>meet you.

20
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Hi, nice to meet you, Dan. Thank you for having.

21
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Me well, thank you very much. We're coming up on Halloween,

22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and everybody knows that Halloween could be a dangerous time

23
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>for the little goblins out there who are trying to

24
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>get some candy. What what what should parents be thinking

25
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>about as they address their little ones up for some

26
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>activity on Halloween evening? What's what are some of the

27
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>things they should be concerned about.

28
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, basically, there's just some common sense tips that parents

29
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 3>should think about in order to avoid eye injury and

30
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 3>infections during the holiday season. For Halloween, obviously, people are

31
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>wearing lots of eye makeup and glitter and lashes as

32
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>part of their costumes and masks, and you know, other

33
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 3>types of you know, associated paraphernalia in terms of like

34
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 3>point sword, pirate swords and things like that that you

35
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>know can potentially cause eye injury. So a little bit

36
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 3>of you know, knowledge and prevention can keep your eyes

37
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 3>safe and healthy during the Halloween season.

38
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>So I know that at this time of year there's

39
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of paraphernalia that the you know, the costumes

40
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>and the pirates they have. My understanding is that if

41
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 2>you put a patch over your eye, it can it

42
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>can affect obviously your depth perception. So there's there's some

43
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>other issues that deal with the eye too. For again,

44
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>some of these costume accessories, including eye you know, eye patches,

45
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>tell us about that.

46
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right. You know, lots of people have cool

47
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 3>costumes and some of them include, you know, these props,

48
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 3>and some of them are kind of pointy types of accessories.

49
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>So like you mentioned earlier, like pirate swords, which is

50
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 3>wands and light sabers, and you know, those can potentially

51
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 3>cause eye injury, especially dim and crowded environments, and so

52
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 3>sometimes it's worth looking at these props and especially for

53
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>the little ones, making sure that you're you know, of

54
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 3>avoiding or limiting those pointz accessories. You can put masking

55
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 3>tape over those. And as you said, like in terms

56
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 3>of full faced masks, pirate patches and things like that,

57
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, in dim environments it can actually limit people's

58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>depth perception and peripheral vision actually, and so it's important,

59
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 3>you know, to be aware that they should be running

60
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 3>or being you know, cautious about being in dark environments

61
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>where masks may be your vision. Actually.

62
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's one of the things that whenever it's a

63
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>long time ago, when we would accompany our kids when

64
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>they were young six seven years old. As they got older,

65
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>of course, they wanted nothing to do with us, and

66
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to be on their own. But one of

67
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the things that is amazing is that for me, when

68
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>you see the kids running, they have this sixth sense.

69
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>They seem to be able to avoid things. As parents,

70
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you're walking on to properties that up paths that you're

71
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 2>not familiar with, I guess you should caution. We should

72
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>caution parents to make sure that the young ones are

73
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>not just running across lawns. You know, they should just

74
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>walk and take it a little easy and enjoy the

75
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>night despite all of the excitement, because if they trip

76
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>and fall, particularly with some of those items in their hand,

77
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether it's a broomstick or you know, pirate

78
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 2>sword or something like that, it can be really dangerous.

79
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right, I would agree with you. So a

80
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 3>little bit of you know, prevention, can you know, prevent

81
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, other eye injuries and other injuries as well.

82
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>So for sure, I know that around the fourth of

83
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 2>July every year, we talked either to you know, someone

84
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>from TV so one of the other great eye institutions

85
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>here in the Greater Boston area, and they're very concerned

86
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>at that time about fireworks and all of that. So

87
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>fireworks is not associated with Halloween. I I guess maybe

88
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 2>some of the older kids might throw a fire cracker

89
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>here or there, but they're interested in getting that bag

90
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>opening up and getting as much candy as they can. Yes,

91
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>what is in your opinion is I assume probably the

92
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>dangers are almost the same. I mean, they're they're a

93
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>real injury dangers associated with Halloween.

94
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean yeah, as you said in July, certainly

95
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 3>fireworks injuries can be an issue because you certainly can

96
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 3>get burn injuries and traumatic eye injuries from that sort

97
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 3>of explosive type of event during the Halloween season. The

98
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 3>things we, you know, want parents to watch out for is,

99
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, that kind of dnse eye makeup that makes

100
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 3>up part of your costume and some of the glitter

101
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 3>and things that they're using to create the costumes, and

102
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 3>how sometimes that can end up creating you know, redness

103
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 3>or swollen eyelids and things like that. And then also

104
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 3>those you know, non description novelty costume contact lenses that

105
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 3>people might be using to sort of complete their outfits.

106
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you're getting contact lenses and they're not

107
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 3>really from a reputable seller and they have any potential

108
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, contamination, then that can increase your risk of

109
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, red eyes and abrasions and then sometimes even

110
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 3>more serious bacterial infections actually, so we do want people

111
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 3>to be careful about getting unregulated contact lenses which could

112
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 3>be contaminated, and then making sure that they're purchasing lenses

113
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 3>from retailers you know who require you know, prescriptions for

114
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>them and they're selling FDA proof products. And then you know,

115
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 3>of course like not sharing contacts and then always removing

116
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 3>contacts before going to sleep. And then same thing with

117
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 3>some of the other accessories like I make up, glitter

118
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 3>fallse eye lashes, which are also very popular now. So

119
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 3>those kinds of glitter and small particles and even lash

120
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 3>flue can also fall into the eye and cause abrasions

121
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and conjunctivitis or red eyes and things like that as well.

122
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>So again things to keep in mind to try to

123
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 3>keep the eye or ocular surface safe from harm. And

124
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 3>then certainly if people are getting these types of residue

125
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 3>around the eyes, to make sure that they're washing off

126
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 3>that makeup and flushing the eyes if there's any irritants

127
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 3>on the surface. But yeah, all basically tips to make

128
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 3>sure your eyes stay healthy.

129
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I tell you, I think you've covered the waterfront

130
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>for us with the thoroughness of your presentation. Again, it's

131
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot to think about for parents and particularly kids

132
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>who want to outdo their friends and they want to

133
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>have the wildest costume or they want to have they

134
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>want to have as much face paint on their face

135
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>as possible, and it can be dangerous. Thank you so much,

136
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 2>doctor chi Ha Kwan. A pleasure to have spoken with you,

137
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 2>Tan and love to have you have you back. Thank

138
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you so much.

139
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, thanks so much for having me. I really

140
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 3>appreciate it.

141
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, we appreciate your time tonight and we will talk again.

142
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks again. All right, as happy Halloween to everyone. Coming

143
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>up on the other side, we're going to talk about

144
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>with a different doctor. This doctor is going to talk

145
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 2>to us about mental health at work. I think all

146
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>of us can relate to how important our jobs are

147
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>in our lives, and how important having a good working

148
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>environment and a job that provides you with some real

149
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>sense of accomplishment. It really does play into the other

150
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 2>portions of your life. We have our family lives, we

151
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>have our social lives, but we also have our work lives,

152
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and I think they all need to work in conjunction,

153
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to talk with a doctor about mental

154
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 2>health at works specifically right after this break on Nightside.

155
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

156
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

157
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is a subject I think that we all

158
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>can relate to happiness and a happy outlook towards your

159
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>mental health at work. Joining us as doctor Ivan Meisner.

160
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Meisner, welcome to night Side. Not a minute too soon.

161
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>By the way, there are a lot of people who

162
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 2>are really being frustrated with their mental health as it

163
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>relates to their work. Tell us about that. You apparently

164
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 2>have spent a lot of time in your career dealing

165
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>with this who issue. Is it getting worse getting better?

166
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Give us the overview.

167
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, first of all, let me tell you my PhD

168
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 4>is an organizational behavior not psychology, so I have a

169
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 4>business slant. But the answer your question is yes, people are,

170
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, getting more and more burned out. And I

171
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 4>think there's a lot of reasons for it. I mean,

172
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 4>I was sitting here listening to some of your commercials

173
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 4>and they're really good commercials, and you're talking about food

174
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 4>and what people eat. I think that really impacts people's

175
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 4>mental health, which they don't think about, but it absolutely does.

176
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 4>One of the things to avoid burnout from an organizational

177
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 4>perspective is to try to focus on the things that

178
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 4>are in your flame as much as possible, in your

179
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 4>flame versus your wax. When you're in your flame, you're excited,

180
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 4>you're passionate, you're excited, and people can hear it in

181
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 4>your voice. They can see it in the way you behave.

182
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 4>When you're in your wax, it just takes all your

183
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 4>energy away. They can hear that in your voice, and

184
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 4>they can see that in the way you behave. I'm

185
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 4>a I'm.

186
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>A big believer, and I want to talk about your

187
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 2>new book, The Third Paradigm, a Radical Shift to Greater Success.

188
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I will want to talk about that, but I also

189
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 2>like to talk to you about and I played a

190
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of sports as a kid, and you know, on

191
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to high school and college and your best coaches with

192
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>the coaches who made you better, and you know, often

193
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>a pat on the back to an athlete is a

194
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>lot more effective than a kick in the butt. And

195
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've been in this business of journalism for

196
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a long time, five decades, and I've had great managers

197
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 2>and I've had horrible managers. Most Major League Baseball players

198
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.799
<v Speaker 2>they tell you the same thing. You ask them who

199
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>the best manager is, They'll always give you the name

200
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 2>of someone if you ask them who they are worst managers. Now,

201
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I have no doubt about it. And what demand How

202
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 2>much do managers play in the mental health of their employees?

203
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 2>How critical a role is if a managers to understand

204
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 2>how to motivate their employees.

205
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, listen, First of all, I would say, you can't

206
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 4>motivate anyone. They have to motivate themselves. However, you can

207
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 4>inspire somebody to motivate themselves. And there's a lot of

208
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 4>research on this going back many many years. Harvard Business Review,

209
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 4>Frederick Herzberg talking about how do you motivate people? And

210
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 4>one of the things he talks about is keita ki

211
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 4>t a. It's called it's an acronym, it's kick in

212
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 4>the anatomy, he calls it. And he says, that doesn't work,

213
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't work. As matter of fact, that undermines you

214
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 4>because when.

215
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>You are that's what I just I think that's what

216
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>I just proposed as a proposition.

217
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 4>Yes it is, and I'm agreeing with you completely because

218
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 4>what happens is people will then undermine the boss because

219
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 4>they've been so negative with them. What works better is

220
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 4>the is the support, is the telling them what they're

221
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 4>doing right. These are the things that motivate people, which

222
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 4>is very interesting. Money even money actually doesn't motivate people.

223
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 4>It's a dissatisfier. People are unhappy because they don't make

224
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 4>enough money, but they're never happy because they make so much.

225
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 4>What makes people happy is the is opportunity, you know, recognition.

226
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 4>Those are the things that make people happy. So yeah,

227
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 4>a boss can make a big difference in someone's Like

228
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 4>I was just talking to my wife literally ten minutes ago,

229
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 4>but who my best boss was in my life? And

230
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 4>it was a woman when I was twenty twenty three

231
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.639
<v Speaker 4>years old. Her first name is Annie, and she was

232
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.919
<v Speaker 4>the best boss I ever had because she was like,

233
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 4>you just do your job, tell me when you need help,

234
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 4>I'll be there for you. Otherwise I'm just gonna leave

235
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:21.559
<v Speaker 4>you alone and let you run with it. And if

236
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 4>you if you get off track, I'll tell you otherwise go.

237
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.440
<v Speaker 5>She was a great boss. I loved her.

238
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, sure, I mean it's the same way I think

239
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot in terms of sports, and you know, you

240
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>don't have to. You know, when a guy strikes out,

241
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to be all I'm saying. You know,

242
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.039
<v Speaker 2>how'd you miss that pitch? I mean, you know he

243
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 2>strikes out, he feels.

244
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 4>Bad enough, you know he feels better.

245
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what, why'd you throw the slider?

246
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 6>There?

247
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>You know the books that don't throw the slider or

248
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I throw this whatever. Okay, so let's let's come back

249
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>to the to the broad up question, and that is

250
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>our Americans at this point, three years out of COVID

251
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>or two and a half, he is However, you want

252
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 2>to judge out cold, are we happier or less happy

253
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>at work?

254
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Well?

255
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 4>I haven't looked at the data on that, but I

256
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 4>would say generally, for the last twenty years, people have

257
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 4>said they're unhappy at work because they don't feel fulfilled

258
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 4>and they're either in the wrong job or they have

259
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 4>they're they're doing work that they don't like, and that

260
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.279
<v Speaker 4>certainly creates a burnout. And that's been going on for

261
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 4>some time. That's not a new phenomenon. And that's why

262
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, I tell people, you know, find something that

263
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.440
<v Speaker 4>you love to do. If you don't, if you're not

264
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 4>doing something, you love to do. You're gonna you're gonna

265
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 4>hate your work.

266
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Let me talk about your book. The third paradigm. I

267
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't even know what the first of the second ones,

268
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>but we're onto the third radical shift to greater success.

269
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 4>What's the things, Well, the first paradigm is a competition,

270
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 4>and that was really the first element of business management

271
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 4>teaching was competing and putting the guy out of business.

272
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 4>The second is cooperation, let's work together and try and

273
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 4>figure things out McGregor, theory X, theory Y. The third

274
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 4>is co creation where you actually create something together as

275
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 4>a team. Now, that inspires people by the way that

276
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:19.759
<v Speaker 4>gets That lights people up when they get to participate

277
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 4>in the decision making of some important project. A good

278
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.120
<v Speaker 4>example of it is crowd sourcing. Crowdsourcing is probably the

279
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.279
<v Speaker 4>most well known example of co creation, and co creation

280
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 4>is incredibly powerful, and that's what the book talks about.

281
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.159
<v Speaker 4>We surveyed four thousand people to get the data that

282
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 4>we had.

283
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 2>In that and the conclusion is to put it in

284
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.879
<v Speaker 2>language that all of us would best understand. You're talking

285
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>about whether you're in a big office and you're working

286
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>with fifty fellow employees or you're a small business and

287
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you're working with three or four people. If you work

288
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 2>together as a team, it's more satisfying than the just

289
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.759
<v Speaker 2>doing your own thing in that cubicle and and not

290
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>interacting with other people. That's what I'm taking from what

291
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 2>you're telling him. How far.

292
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Well, let's look at the actual data. Diversity of

293
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.679
<v Speaker 4>ideas is the number one factor in the survey of

294
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 4>four thousand people. People feel like you get diverse ideas.

295
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 4>That's powerful, learning from each other, stronger relationships, seeing areas

296
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 4>of the business that you wouldn't otherwise see. That's powerful.

297
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 4>In co creation, more empowered teams, increase quality of creativity,

298
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 4>shared resources. These are all the benefits of co creation.

299
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 4>But there are some downsides. If you want me to

300
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 4>talk about those.

301
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, once you top about the book, Yeah, go ahead.

302
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 4>Personality conflicts In co creation, personality conflict is the number

303
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 4>one factor that creates challenges. Well, you know, just people

304
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 4>not getting along.

305
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I got an idea, you got an idea. I think

306
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>my idea is better than your idea. And as opposed

307
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to working cooperatively, we're working against one of the because.

308
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 4>I want exactly and undermine each other, which isn't good. Yeah,

309
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.000
<v Speaker 4>and you know, in the co creative process, the leader

310
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 4>the manager needs to be saying, look, you can disagree

311
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 4>without being disagreeable. So you've got to work through the

312
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 4>issues without being disagreeable with each other. The second is

313
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 4>dealing with egos, and that's different than personality conflicts. Personality

314
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 4>conflicts is you know, multiple people egos. It's all you. Your

315
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 4>ego enters the room, not you personally, but it's the individual.

316
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Their ego enters the room before they do. Poor communication,

317
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 4>people not pulling their weight, lack of agreement, and who

318
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 4>makes the final decision. Individuals hijacking the direction of the project,

319
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 4>which is kind of is what you were talking about,

320
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 4>and then a no onligne vision for the project. So

321
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 4>there are pros and cons to co creation, but co

322
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 4>creation overall is a powerful way to be successful in

323
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 4>business today.

324
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, I hate to come back to the sports metaphor,

325
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>but the bust and red sucks for many, many years.

326
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.599
<v Speaker 2>To the slogan on the team before two thousand and

327
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>four was twenty five players, twenty five caps. Everybody's going

328
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty five one taxi cabs. They were, you know, they

329
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 2>shared the clubhouse, they shared the dog up. But that

330
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>was about it. That was the reputation of the Boston

331
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox for many years before they got we broke.

332
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.240
<v Speaker 2>They broke the curse in twenty in two thousand and four.

333
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're a baseball fan or not,

334
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but the idea is that every successful sports team, whether

335
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>it's a college football team or basketball team, whatever professional team,

336
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.960
<v Speaker 2>if the players like each other and get along, they

337
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>will play better. They will play. It comes back to

338
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the first grade when your back. Every report I remember

339
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.240
<v Speaker 2>works well with others. I'm telling you, it's all in

340
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the first grade. As far as I'm concerned, Doctor Miisda.

341
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I've really enjoyed this conversation. I know I'm a little

342
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.759
<v Speaker 2>offbeat here, but hey, I'm a Boston guy and I

343
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 2>just worry we viewed things through kind of a weird

344
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>lens back here, but I really do leave everything I

345
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.400
<v Speaker 2>said to you, and that is that you know, if

346
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you like people you work with, and you get along

347
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>with people you work with, and you get rid of

348
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 2>the petty jealousies, whatever job you're doing is going to

349
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>go better, and sometimes.

350
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 4>Question about it. The key is to whole the vision,

351
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.160
<v Speaker 4>not the obstacles, and a team can do that better

352
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 4>than a group of individuals, no.

353
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Question, no question. I'd love to have you back on

354
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 2>the show. I enjoyed your enthusiasm and your passion for

355
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the subject. I really the book is the third paradigm,

356
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a radical shift to greater success. I assume it's available

357
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>everywhere bookstores and Amazon. Yeah, that's all we need to know.

358
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>After a thousand interviews with authors, I get the drill.

359
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, doctor ivan Meister, Thank you very

360
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 2>very much. Appreciate it. All right, good night. When we

361
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.759
<v Speaker 2>get back, we're going to talk about the consumer price index.

362
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot of good news here on this one

363
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 2>coming up, folks, but you probably will be able to

364
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.880
<v Speaker 2>identify with this. Food prices up again, grow rose almost

365
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 2>a half a percentage point last month, highest since January.

366
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.759
<v Speaker 2>And restaurant prices, if you've been at restaurants slightly, they

367
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.319
<v Speaker 2>just keep going up. Let me tell you that Berger

368
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and fries of a few years ago now is going

369
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to cost you probably twenty five bucks in most restaurants, unfortunately,

370
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 2>unless you're going to McDonald's and there it's going to

371
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 2>be about twelve. Anyway, we'll take a break. My name's

372
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Dan Ray. This is Nightside to listen to w BZ

<v Speaker 2>Boston's news radio right here on WBC ten thirty Am.

<v Speaker 2>gang over there in Dorchester. They are providing some pink

380

<v Speaker 2>night Side t shirts and if you're a really good

381
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.720
<v Speaker 2>caller later on tonight, you might win one of those.

382
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 2>So stick with us. We got a lot to do

383
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 2>between now and midnight. My name's Dan Ray. Back right

384
00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 2>after this.

385
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.759
<v Speaker 1>On night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's News Radio.

386
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, this darn inflation, this darn inflation just doesn't seem

387
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.559
<v Speaker 2>to want to go away with us. As Greg Marsette,

388
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>he's the CEO of Busy Kid, and he's here to

389
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about the consumer Price Index. But first of all,

390
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I got to ask you what is busy Kid?

391
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.960
<v Speaker 7>Greg, Yeah, Busy Kid is an app that we created

392
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 7>so that we can essentially teach the next generation two

393
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.519
<v Speaker 7>primary things get off the couch, get to work and

394
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 7>earn some money, and then once you've earn the money,

395
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 7>how do you actually manage it in a balanced way

396
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 7>and not just blow it all.

397
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 5>So that's really what busy Kid's all about.

398
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So who's your audience? I mean when you say

399
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 2>busy kid, you talking about people in their twenties, or

400
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 2>people in their teens or even younger.

401
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 7>We're talking about kids primarily like five to seventeen. I

402
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.160
<v Speaker 7>know that's a big window. But any kid out there,

403
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 7>you got it?

404
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 2>No, that's good, that's good. And is it an app

405
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:07.200
<v Speaker 2>that people can download? I want to give you a

406
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>little publicity here.

407
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

408
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, So it's an apple you can download. I would

409
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 7>you know suggest essentially a parent would download it. They

410
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 7>would give their kids chores to do, right, good old

411
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 7>fashioned chores. Let them get out there, bust it out,

412
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 7>earn some money. On Friday, our system sends you a

413
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.000
<v Speaker 7>notification that says, hey, you know, little Johnny has busted

414
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.880
<v Speaker 7>it out all week and.

415
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 5>You own twelve dollars.

416
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 7>You just press one button and we take the money

417
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 7>right out of your second account, bring it into our system,

418
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.920
<v Speaker 7>and then we distribute it like magic, into three separate

419
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 7>categories for this kid. So that he can learn. That's

420
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 7>what you do with it. Instead of just earning it

421
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 7>and burning it all, you're going to save and invest

422
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 7>a little bit of it, you're going to share or

423
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 7>give the charity, and then you're going to spend the

424
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 7>rest on a card. So that's exactly what we do.

425
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, that sounds great, that sounds great. My kids are

426
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 2>too old for that, but maybe I'm going to put

427
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>them on it anyway during their thirties. Let's talk about

428
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:05.599
<v Speaker 2>the consumer price Index September again. It's we're not, you know,

429
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 2>back to the nine percent inflation that we saw a

430
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago. But it still keeps going up.

431
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, every every time I go to the

432
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>grocery store, and I'm a guy that goes to the

433
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 2>grocery store, it's appalling. It's just appalling. The numbers just

434
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.319
<v Speaker 2>stay high, and stuff that you would have gotten a

435
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 2>year ago for buck ninety nine is now three ninety nine.

436
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it isn't a question. Nicol and Domingue. They're

437
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>killing us two or three dollars at a time, and yeah,

438
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.960
<v Speaker 2>what's I don't know what the solution is. I know

439
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay, careful shopper. Tell me what the solution is.

440
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, I got a few ideas. Now.

441
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 7>I know this is going to fly in the face

442
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 7>of a guy who likes to go shopping, but maybe

443
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 7>we should try picking up the groceries and not going

444
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 7>inside because when I go inside, I'm usually hungry and

445
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 7>I'm wandering around. Next thing, you know, I got donuts,

446
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 7>I've got chips, soda, all the stuff that I probably

447
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 7>shouldn't need anyways, and it's expensive. So what do you

448
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.279
<v Speaker 7>think about sitting down eating first and using your iPad

449
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 7>to make one of those online pickups. I think we

450
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 7>can be a little more focused and perhaps save a

451
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.519
<v Speaker 7>little money.

452
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's an interesting I've never done that. I always

453
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.960
<v Speaker 2>thought that was for lazy people, and.

454
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:25.680
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it is, but.

455
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 3>A good idea.

456
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm telling you. I do it all the time, and

457
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 7>I think it works pretty good.

458
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Well. The reason that I like to do the shopping,

459
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with him, and my wife has no

460
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>interest in going there any any grocery store. I like

461
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>to say hi to the clerks and people at the

462
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>store that I know, but I also like to look

463
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.400
<v Speaker 2>at things because when I see something on sale, then

464
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll buy it. If not. I don't need it, and

465
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.119
<v Speaker 2>I will occasionally, you know, buy something for myself. Well

466
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, package of this, package of that, but I'm

467
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 2>going to try that. Maybe most of these stores you

468
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 2>just pick it up. I've seen all this stuff that

469
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 2>they push at you. You know you're going to pick

470
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>it up. But my concern is that half the stuff

471
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that I that I order, uh you know, when I,

472
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 2>for example, buy.

473
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 7>They're going to pick the wrong banana for you. That's

474
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 7>what you're really worried about.

475
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 2>No, exactly, I picked bananas that they are going to

476
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>be a couple of days out to ripen because I

477
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>have one cup one or two ripen home, okay, and

478
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I just yeah, no, I'm serious, because if somebody else

479
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>picks it up for you, I don't know how do

480
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 2>you deal with that. I mean, you can't pull the

481
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>bananas going to get me better.

482
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.400
<v Speaker 5>Bananas, You're exactly right.

483
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 7>You can't give them little messages to say, hey, I

484
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.039
<v Speaker 7>want bananas with only two spots on them.

485
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Whatever.

486
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 5>You got to kind of just roll with it so

487
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 5>I get what you go in there.

488
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>But well, okay, for example, for me, that one of

489
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the greatest times of the year besides Christmas, and Thanksgiving

490
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:57.759
<v Speaker 2>is when Macintosh apples arrive at the supermarket. I mean,

491
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not talking about those puny little ones that arrived

492
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>late August. I'm talking about the good max that are

493
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 2>there now. I like to look at those macs and

494
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>pick out the ones that have been been for me,

495
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>you know.

496
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Perfect fadest. Yeah, I get it.

497
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Put those babies in the refrigerator. They come out nice

498
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and crisp, perfect, So okay, but I'm going to try

499
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 2>that someday.

500
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:25.079
<v Speaker 7>But you're making try it.

501
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Is there any and insight to this or no? I mean,

502
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the food price is going up. Think you know, the big,

503
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the big long showman's strike has at least been suspended.

504
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's going to come back with

505
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.279
<v Speaker 2>a vengeance on January fifteenth, but that would have impacted groceries,

506
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure in some.

507
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 5>Form of fat.

508
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, a lot of these supply chain issues are you know,

509
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 7>giving us trouble still. But you know, at the end

510
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 7>of the day, prices are generally speaking up still over

511
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 7>twenty percent since COVID, and you know, groceries are bad.

512
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 7>But the stats on fast food kind of like you know,

513
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 7>fast fast food, like we're talking McDonald's and Taco Bell.

514
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 7>That kind of stuff is unbelievable. I mean McDonald's prices

515
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 7>are up almost one hundred and forty one percent, and

516
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.759
<v Speaker 7>Chick Pilate eighty percent, Taco Bell's fifty seven percent. Like

517
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.359
<v Speaker 7>these are crushing numbers for sure. When it comes to

518
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 7>like the quick drive through stuff, so you've got to

519
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:18.839
<v Speaker 7>really watch out for that too if you want to

520
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 7>save some money.

521
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's kind of a losing battle at this point.

522
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And I actually enjoy walking past items that I normally

523
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>would buy when they're not on sale. It's almost like

524
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying to myself, guess what keep it on the shelf.

525
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you this. I know you're not from Boston.

526
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at the area code here if you ever

527
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>come to Massachusetts. It's a store here called a grocery store.

528
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a local chain called Market Basket. It is the

529
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:53.000
<v Speaker 2>most successful grocery store you've ever imagined. They have twenty aisles,

530
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty lanes open staffed by clerks. They have

531
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 2>no automatic checkouts. It's all done, and the prices and

532
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:03.519
<v Speaker 2>the quality of food is great. I should be like

533
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.400
<v Speaker 2>a spokesperson from Market Basket. It is a great store.

534
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>If you know anybody from New England, they swear by it,

535
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 2>and this sounds amazing.

536
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 5>It's like they're stuck in the service world that we

537
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 5>used to really love.

538
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I still love it, and that's one of the

539
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker 2>reasons you google market Basket. There's a story there. They

540
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.640
<v Speaker 2>had a huge interfamilial fight about oh, I guess ten

541
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>years ago, in which a couple of cousins kind of

542
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 2>fought a death battle for control of the company, and

543
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>the fella who won it. He is revered by their employees.

544
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 2>They literally will strew Rose pedals when he walks through

545
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the store. I mean, I'm serious. It is a fabulous story.

546
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Sixteen minutes or someone like that. You come in and

547
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>do a profile piece on this. It's unbelievable. I'm telling you.

548
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 2>They have twenty lanes the store that I have to

549
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.400
<v Speaker 2>go into because it's close. Maybe there's one or two

550
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 2>lanes open in sixteen people in each line. They force

551
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 2>people to go to the automatic checkout machines, which I

552
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.480
<v Speaker 2>also hate. So you and I could talk about this forever. Man,

553
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>this is my wheelhouse.

554
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.839
<v Speaker 5>You're already so yeah, Well, I'm.

555
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Gonna tell you I don't get compensated. But but but

556
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you I would be a spokesman for them

557
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.759
<v Speaker 2>because I only endorse products that I really believe in,

558
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.759
<v Speaker 2>and I believe in market Basket. Greg Merst Busy Kid.

559
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a fabulous website for kids anywhere from

560
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.440
<v Speaker 2>five to seventeen, right from the beginning of kindergarten right

561
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:37.720
<v Speaker 2>through high school. So important for kids to become financially literate,

562
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's not taught in schools these days. Busy Kid

563
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.559
<v Speaker 2>is an app Go find it if you have some kids.

564
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I may try to still put my kids on it,

565
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and they're in their thirties, but they probably were I

566
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 2>get it. Well, yeah, they're they're doing fine. They learned

567
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff. You know how they you know

568
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.720
<v Speaker 2>how they learned to add. My two kids, I used

569
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to take fruit out of the sit at the get

570
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 2>your table with them when they were three and four,

571
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.839
<v Speaker 2>and we'd add how many oranges and how many apples?

572
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.319
<v Speaker 2>And tell me if I take away two oranges, how

573
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.400
<v Speaker 2>many oranges? That's how you teach them.

574
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 7>In my opinion, Wow, look at you always with the apples.

575
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 7>It's all about apples with you.

576
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you apples are the apple of my eye.

577
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Greg, I joined a whole lot, whole lot thanks. Okay,

578
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.000

594
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 6>The magic works, you know, by by working individually with

595
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 6>people who are interested in doing something a little bit

596
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:39.279
<v Speaker 6>more strategic than just working alone solo on the apps.

597
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 6>They reach out to the right time to see if

598
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 6>they can expedite their agenda finding love, romance, or partnership

599
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 6>in a in a more strategic way that is less

600
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.480
<v Speaker 6>a little less frustrating and solitary than working on apps

601
00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 6>or online And what's.

602
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Interesting You let me jump in there, you said. Okay, love, romance,

603
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 2>or partnership. I guess those are three categories as opposed

604
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>to love, romance and partnership. Most people out there looking

605
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 2>for partnership? Is that what you find?

606
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:21.079
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, it all depends on the demographics and

607
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 6>what the particular people are looking to accomplish. Many times

608
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:31.720
<v Speaker 6>people come when they've been divorced or widowed and they're

609
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.000
<v Speaker 6>not quite sure what they're looking for. They want to

610
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 6>do something different. They want to go out there and

611
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 6>test the waters and see if they can meet someone

612
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 6>who's compatible and who shares interests and who they can

613
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 6>spend time with. And then if they find that person

614
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 6>and they wind up connecting and growing something more deeper

615
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 6>than they they venture into a wonderful, more committed long

616
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.759
<v Speaker 6>term relationship.

617
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm going to ask kind of a wise guy

618
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>question here, but.

619
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 6>It's okay, I'm ready for it.

620
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, I don't do that to

621
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 2>my guests. But I've just got a little fun with you.

622
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So you're trying to find, if not the perfect match,

623
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to find at least a highly compatible match.

624
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I would assume you're not just throwing people together.

625
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 6>No, absolutely not.

626
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.079
<v Speaker 2>How do you do that when you got the eight

627
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.799
<v Speaker 2>billion people in the world. I'm sure there's someone out

628
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 2>there for everybody, you know, even like a in a

629
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.359
<v Speaker 2>big city. You got, you know, some of the big

630
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>cities do three four million people or whatever? How do

631
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you figure out you know who? People will tell you

632
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 2>what they want, but maybe that's not what they really want.

633
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:43.839
<v Speaker 2>This has to be a challenging job for you. I'm

634
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>actually giving you.

635
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 6>A compliment here, thank you, And I'll actually take that

636
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 6>compliment because you know, I totally enjoy what I do. Yeah,

637
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:54.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you could look out in the world and

638
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.759
<v Speaker 6>just like with all the apps, there are lots and

639
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 6>lots of opportunities to to find a person or someone

640
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 6>who you can go on a date with. But what

641
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.759
<v Speaker 6>it really boils down to is who really is someone

642
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 6>that you really want to connect with. Historically, I work

643
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 6>with people usually anywhere from thirty five all the way

644
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:18.079
<v Speaker 6>up into the seventies early eighties, and most of the

645
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 6>time they've already had relationships, whether they've been married, divorced,

646
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.360
<v Speaker 6>whether they're just dating, and so they come to us

647
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 6>with certain requirements and prerequisites or a wish list of

648
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 6>what they think they want. Oftentimes it turns out to

649
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.679
<v Speaker 6>be very much on spots. But what we do is

650
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 6>in the beginning, when we meet people, we get to

651
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:48.400
<v Speaker 6>know them, so we do a thorough interview, they fill

652
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 6>out profile forms, we meet, we talk, We find out

653
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:58.559
<v Speaker 6>what exactly they've been doing, what exactly it is that

654
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 6>they're looking to accomplish. And then based on our expertise

655
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:08.480
<v Speaker 6>and the magic our database, our network, and our experience,

656
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 6>we then what we do is we we vet and

657
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 6>then we we have like a concierge level platform, so

658
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 6>we present individuals that we think are highly highly likely

659
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 6>to be good candidate. And it's from doing that.

660
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Let me put it in terms of your sort of sports,

661
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>your winning record, what percentage are the people who come

662
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to right time consultants actually find someone that they can

663
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.840
<v Speaker 2>spend some time with. Not necessarily someone's going to marry

664
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.079
<v Speaker 2>or spend the rest of their life, but how often.

665
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 2>What sort of a success rate do you think you have?

666
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.559
<v Speaker 6>Well, in twenty twenty four, my success rate is around

667
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 6>ninety four and ninety Well, you.

668
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Do keep these stats. I like that statistic.

669
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

670
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Here, okay, what's your guest match from the last year?

671
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Give me something a quick wait, Styll.

672
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you all.

673
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:10.159
<v Speaker 6>Okay. I have a client who lived in a suburb

674
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.079
<v Speaker 6>in Boston who had been widowed for probably almost ten years,

675
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 6>A very attractive and pretty woman who had been using

676
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.840
<v Speaker 6>apps and friends and all of that to try to

677
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:29.519
<v Speaker 6>find someone. You know, she nothing was working. Someone suggested

678
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:33.679
<v Speaker 6>she reach out to me. We had an interview and

679
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.679
<v Speaker 6>she became a private client. I thought she was lovely.

680
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.800
<v Speaker 6>We did a photo shoot up in Boston with a wonderful,

681
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:46.559
<v Speaker 6>wonderful photographer, and we put together her profile, and then

682
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:49.119
<v Speaker 6>she waited a week or two, and then she said,

683
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, my friends are wondering what's happening. Are you

684
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:55.039
<v Speaker 6>going to introduce me? And I said I am. And

685
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.440
<v Speaker 6>so I had a wonderful, wonderful widower who's based actually

686
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 6>in New York. He had a daughter who lived in Boston.

687
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 6>And it was exactly last year in October that he

688
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 6>told me. He was planning on going up to the

689
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 6>Boston area for Thanksgiving, and I think ten seconds left.
