Imagine this: seven days, seven different airports, and never leaving the terminal. No hotel rooms, just uncomfortable airport benches. Showers? Airport bathrooms only. Food? A strict $20-a-day budget. This wasn't a punishment; it was an experiment. In this special episode of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V. Barger shares the remarkable origin story of his "Step Back from the Baggage Claim" philosophy – a journey that began with a bold, unconventional research project. Jason immersed himself in the chaotic world of airport terminals, observing human behavior at its most raw. He witnessed the "human wall of entitlement" at baggage carousels, the frustration of delayed flights, and the fleeting interactions between strangers. This experience became the foundation for his groundbreaking work on leadership and corporate culture. This episode isn't just about airports. It's about: The Power of Perspective: How stepping back from the everyday rush can reveal profound insights about ourselves and the cultures we create. Human Connection in a Disconnected World: Why recognizing the humanity in those around us is crucial for both personal and organizational success. Navigating Adversity: Learning to respond to challenges with intention and grace, rather than reacting with frustration. The Courage to Begin: How a seemingly crazy idea, fueled by a desire to make a difference, can transform into a meaningful career. Intentions and Actions: What you can do to become the ambassador of change. Join Jason as he reflects on the lessons learned during those seven days, the key principles that still guide his work, and how the "Step Back" philosophy can help you lead more effectively and create a more positive impact, wherever you are. This is the story of how a unique experiment sparked a movement – and it might just change the way you think about leadership, culture, and the power of human connection. Tune in and discover how to "step back to move forward" in your own life and work. You will not want to miss the start of Jason V. Barger and what has led him to be a sought-after keynote speaker. How did all of this journey begin and what was the point?
