In our last episode, we met Sam, a communications manager wrestling with self-doubt and hesitation. Together with guest Hussain Halak, we explored how fulfillment and resilience begin when we stop clinging to ourselves and start serving others. In this solo episode, Jay expands on that idea with a powerful framework drawn from his upcoming book and TEDx talk. He explains why our primal brains are wired to constantly scan for threats, how that wiring keeps us self-absorbed, and what it really takes to break free. Through research and personal reflection, Jay reveals three essential components: safety, concentration, and connection. It allows us to “lose ourselves,” the very state where happiness, performance, and resilience flourish. Jay walks listeners through practical ways to create inner safety by caring for physical well-being and learning to respond rather than react, to cultivate focus in a world full of distractions, and to intentionally reconnect every day to people and purpose. With these three practices in place, you’ll have the foundation to thrive no matter what challenges come your way. Notable Quotes “Safety is the foundation. Without it, the mind will always search for threats instead of possibilities.” — Jay Abbasi “Focus is like holding the reins of a wild horse. If you can guide your attention, you can guide your life.” — Jay Abbasi “Connection is what the human heart is chasing. Without it, we simply can’t thrive.” — Jay Abbasi Resources and Links Jay Abbasi Website: https://jayabbasi.me/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayabbasi/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayabbasi_/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejayabbasi/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jayabbasipodcast Join Us Next Time In Monday’s episode, Jay introduces Chloe, the Director of Supply Management at a leading electronics manufacturer.
