Jay’s Talks:
A compilation from successful people like Frieda Gibbs, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, and words of wisdom from Shefali Tsabary who share stories about their childhood and personal parenting journey, on how to be a better parent to your child. These inspirational speeches teach us to be more loving and better listeners to help our kids be more resilient to overcome challenges in their lives and achieve greatness.
This is not the world we grew up in. Kids today are much more prone to anxiety and depression than we were. As parents, we need to understand the differences so that we can help them navigate the world. Trigger warning, this talk deals with the topic of depression and suicide in teenagers. Jason has been married for 26 years and is the proud father of four amazing children. Jason lives his life with passion and focus and believes that ordinary people can (and do) change the world.

In March of 2018, my 14-year-old son took his life in the attic of our home while we were away on vacation. My seemingly perfect life was shattered to pieces. I was raising beautiful, smart and happy kids in my eyes. But what was really happening behind the scenes, deep in the soul of my son was hidden.

“We need to ask the right questions, as parents. We need to have more vulnerable conversations with our kids. And we need to take ownership and responsibility. When your child is physically unwell, we all take ownership of that and make sure they get the help and support the need. So why don’t we have the same attitude when it comes to their mental health?”
