It’s About to Go Down! with Marc & Cathey is a LIVE coaching show about dropping ideas. It’s podcast meets TED Talk meets talk show. Hosted by champion speaker and coach Marc Williams and TED coach and persuasion expert Cathey Armillas.

In this episode, Marc and Cathey talk with Yasmin about how to create moments of joy in your life. The conversation explores the process of breaking down the principles, defining key terms, and gamifying an idea.

By the end of this discussion, you will be able to identify what activates joy for you and what it will take for you to have a joyful day.

In 2022, he and his team will launch a new concept called “The Joy Gym” to reconnect millions of people every day as “Joy Makers” to practice simple habits that activate joy, strengthen their hearts and minds, and create a better world.
