I'm Jacques. I teach 3,000+ Joymakers how to lead group activities that make the world happier & healthier.
Working as an emergency medic at dozens of festivals inspired me. After witnessing the harms of drug and alcohol use firsthand, I started a sober partying movement.
My events went viral. I got interviewed and featured by 10+ publications. But then I realized: Partying doesn't actually help people become more joyful. That's when I evolved from The Party Scientist to Joymaker Prof.
My sober parties are still alive, but they teach people social intelligence and mindset skills. It's all a part of the Joymaker movement, which is about empowering humans to ignite joy wherever they are, through real human connection.
