Petzbe, the new social media app for all things pets! No people allowed!

 
Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs of Petzbe which is a new social media platform joins eHealth Radio and the Animal Health & Health News Channels. Petzbe combines two things that most Americans love, their pets and social media.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guests Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs discuss the following:
How did you come up with the idea for Petzbe?
Pets are so good for our health and well being. What are some ways in which our pets can help us with our health and wellness?
Through Petzbe we see the world through the voice of our beloved pets. Do you think that this site is sort of therapeutic for people in a world where most social media is political and often negatively emotional for many?
What is the “Vetbe" section of the App?
How does "Lend A Paw" work and what are some of the charities that have benefitted from “Lend A Paw”?
How do you download Petzbe?
Summary: Petzbe is one of the fasted growing social media platforms where the user opens an account on behalf of their beloved pets. All the photos, videos, opinions and messaging on Petzbe come from the perspective of your pets and takes on their persona. Studies have shown that pets can be very beneficial for our own physical and mental health well-being. The brain child of millennial, Andrea Nerep the site is available on your smart phone App Store and it is sure to be the “cutest community platform” available today.
What would your pets say if they could speak? What’s their voice like – sassy, cute, witty, grumpy, playful? PETZBE is the leading social media app connecting pet parents in a community where they share their pets’ lives from the perspective of the pet. PETZBE’S purpose is to provide a positive pet-centric social media experience for pet parents to form meaningful connections with each other and trusted companies in the pet industries.
Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.”
PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members.
Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.

Could you share with me what Proem Behavioral Health does - how does your solution, work and overall industry impact reach researchers, healthcare providers and behavioral health and addiction specialists?
As we all know and hear frequently on the news, mental health is a critical area needing innovation due to the epidemic proportions of mental health issues and conditions. Why do you think taking not only new tech approaches to address this epidemic are needed, but also a reframe on mental health itself as being easily treated by providers? 
Beyond the stigma that can exist or lack of awareness among patients as well as some medical providers not being equipped till now to address mental health challenges, what do you think is needed that is tied to technology to help more people get the treatment they need?
As someone who is in a business leadership position within the healthcare industry more broadly, what do you recommend to healthcare innovations who may be entrepreneurs, or even innovation minded teams working within larger companies to make an impact that’s meaningful?
What are some areas of focus your team at Proem is focused on for the rest of this year that you hope will have made a positive change in the field by 2024?

What is your advice for other parents of children who suffer from mental health struggles?
About Happy Jack Foundation:
The Happy Jack Foundation, Inc. is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that enhances access, funds research and provides tools for young adults who struggle with mental health. The foundation is funded from a combination of product sales from the Happy Jack Brand, community events and direct donations.
In sharing our 19 year old son Jack Nathan’s story, we aim to let others know that they are not alone and that they can in fact, persevere in the face of adversity.
We invite you to learn more about Happy Jack and to join us on our mission to better the lives of young adults who struggle with mental illness like Jack did.
About Jack:
Jack Nathan is an artist, creator and founder of The Happy Jack Group, LLC. Jack launched Happy Jack’s World, on June 7, 2020, as a lifestyle brand surrounding his battle with mental health. Jack’s goal was to help kids struggling like he did.
Jack personally channeled his anxiety via painting and design. It was the one place where Jack found peace and where his mind found solace. Painting was Jack's outlet. Art was his therapy. In creating the brand Happy Jack, Jack found a way to use his art to help others.
In Jack’s mission to help kids struggling with mental health, he donated a portion of the proceeds from all Happy Jack product sales to the Child Mind Institute. Jack wanted to ensure that others felt less alone by being transparent about his own battle with anxiety and bouts of depression. Jack encouraged everyone to embrace their eccentricities wholeheartedly and to persevere in the face of personal adversity.
Jack Nathan left us suddenly and accidentally at the age of 19. We are forever grateful for the impact he left on all who knew him. Our goal is to continue Happy Jack in his honor and to ensure that his mission of "making this world a better place for kids like him" is realized.

Mental Health for Teens with Ken Baum

 
 
Ken Baum, a best-selling author of numerous life-changing books and a successful performance expert and author of his new book “The Mental Edge for Teens: How to thrive in school, sports, and life in a world of chaos, bullies, and ever-changing values” joins eHealth Radio and the Mental Health Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Ken Baum discuss the following:
What do teens need to learn about their mental health?
Is this why you wrote the book Mental Edge for Teens?
What is the impact that this book is making, and why do you want to give away 100,000 books?
Tell us about your Mental Health for Teens program and coaching certification programs.
TIP: It's ok for teens to be themselves. Being authentic and proud of who you are, makes for great mental health. Society makes sexuality a focal point, yet in reality, this is not an issue for most teens. A bigger issue is not fitting in because of your values, money, dress, looks, religion, intelligence, or perceived lack of athleticism or other talents. This feeling of not being like others or accepted is destructive to mental health. Embrace your values, be proud of your religion, your looks are what makes you unique and looks change over time. What is fashionable today will not be tomorrow and hey/ Who are these people that are telling you how you should dress and groom anyway? They don't care about you! They care about manipulating you to buy their stuff and the teens that mock or tease about Lack lack of style or coming from the wrong social strata and income range are the ones that are not cool. Stand tall, breathe calm and love who you are!
One of the premier success coaches in the world, Ken Baum has trained Olympic athletes, and business and thought leaders, and is the creator of the Mental Edge System, a world-class-level system that teaches people of every age and station how to create a success mindset in their own lives. His clients range from mega-companies Vans, Oakley, and Merrill Lynch; to individual champions like MMA World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, X-Games gold medal winner Elliott Sloane, and the Tampa Bay Devil Ray’s Comeback Player of the Year Carlos Peña.
Aside from his client list reading like a Who’s Who of success in business and sports, Baum is known as one of the most dynamic and entertaining speakers in the world, connecting him with everything from small teen audiences to 14,000-seat arena crowds, where he has shared the stage with the biggest names in sports, politics, and industry, like Phil Jackson, John Wooden, Oprah, Larry King, Bob Dole, and Naomi Judd. He delivers thousands of seminars, workshops, and speeches annually, with praise from all walks of life. CBS News senior correspondent Ben Tracy says “he commands the stage like few have ever done,” Hall of Fame speaker Zig Ziegler describes him as a “skilled and powerful speaker,” and Tommy Lasorda gives the ultimate praise: “He is Mr. Mental Edge.”
In addition to his coaching and speaking, Baum is also an author of life-changing books like The Mental Edge: Maximize Your Sports Potential with the Mind-Body Connection (Perigee, 1999), Metabolize: The Personalized Program for Weight Loss (Putnam/Perigee, 2000), The Performance Zone (audiobook; Nightingale/Conant 2000) and Mind Over Business (Prentice Hall, 2012), and he has appeared in or written articles for major magazines and media outlets like BBC News, Success, ESPN, Men's Journal, Volleyball Monthly, Sports Illustrated for Women, and hosts of others.
Above all, Baum is a teacher. From arena crowds to intimate groups of disadvantaged teens to his own two children (both of whom made it through their own teen years relatively unscathed), Baum is dedicated to a world where people’s successes are determined not by circumstance, but by the success-oriented mindsets they create.
