Jackie Jones is a comedian, motivational thinker, roller-skater and hugger. JJ talks about the importance of being able to self-soothe, being OK with awkward silences, and acknowledging them. We also talk about reading in public; pumping yourself up; learning what works for you; shrinking the spectrum; Jedi mind-tricks, asserting (smiley) dominance; look to where your discomfort comes from; how anyone can learn to do anything; don't compare and despair; being yourself; bombing as a comedian; connecting with your audience/people; when the spotlight is on you, you're the host; you're in charge (in a good way); our subconscious; A Glitch in the Matrix; working on yourself; learning the rules so you can either break or follow them; "Hacks"; eye-rolling; Jackie's YouTube channel; having an attention span; internal dialogue; being in the same boat; choosing unhappiness over uncertainty; "Hoarders"; being unwilling to change; working with a professional; we are the ripple effect; the Ah-ha! moment.
