In a time when leadership feels more stressful than ever, what if the secret to thriving was as simple as joy? In this episode of Association Chat, host KiKi L'Italien sits down with The Party Scientist himself, Jacques W. Martique, to explore how science-backed joy can transform the way we lead and build community.
Jacques has rocked festival stages, corporate offices, and global events with his high-energy approach to human connection, helping people tap into their body's natural feel-good chemicals—without needing a drink in hand. His insights are especially relevant in today's politically charged DC environment, where association and nonprofit leaders are looking for ways to create unity and resilience.
From his days as a festival medic saving lives to pioneering the sober partying movement, Jacques has developed powerful tools to help leaders cultivate joy, strengthen teams, and boost engagement.
