5 Skills for Igniting Joyful Connection - Joymaker Party Scientist

I’m Jacques W. Martiquet and I don’t know everything, but I sure do know how to lead rave-worthy experiences.

I go by two names. As The Party Scientist, I lead sober raves and opening keynotes. As Joymaker Prof, I teach the science behind igniting joy and belonging in any social setting.

I quit my career in pharmacology to light up crowds as a public speaker and to train Joymakers around the world. My mission? Help people rebel against the quick-dopamine culture that leaves us sick, addicted, and isolated.

I do this by empowering leaders like you to become Joymakers—the bold leaders loved for igniting smiles, laughs, hugs, and real human connection.
