Celebration as Connection with Jacques Martiquet

We've got Jacques Martiquet on the pod this week! Jacques is an international party scientist who has facilitated ecstatic celebrations at Envision Festival, Shambhala Festival, LUSH Cosmetics, and Lululemon. Jacques has been interviewed by VICE media about his mission to bridge public health and party culture. Jacques' current focus is working within the events industry to address the loneliness epidemic, by offering new entertainment experiences founded on fun and social connection. In this conversation, we discuss: weirdness, party science, how celebration can lead us to more fulfilling, healthy lives, how alcohol and tobacco industries have commodified the act of celebration, our perceptions of other people’s perceptions, sober vs. drunk connection, how to source joy, and the co-creation of celebration.
