About the Host
Jordan Friedman, aka The Stress Coach
Founder and Chief Chill Officer
Stress grabbed my attention when one of the world’s largest brain tumors was discovered in my head shortly after my 10th birthday. A stress-case all the way through college, I reluctantly enrolled in a stress management class that led to much less stress, a degree in public health, a job as Columbia University’s health education director and now a career as a global stress management speaker, trainer and author. For 25-years, I’ve been privileged to help and learn from 9/11 survivors, teachers, CEOs, police officers, incarcerated adults, students and lots of other stressed people who want to be more successful, get better grades, sleep easier and just feel better.
In 2004, I founded The Stress Coach to provide engaging workshops, multimedia webinars, chill apps, online courses and more stress-relief opportunities. The Chill Factory podcast is my latest effort to bring stress relief and better health to the world.
After graduating from the University of Maryland where I took that first stress management class, I moved to peaceful New York City which is where I wrote The Stress Manager’s Manual, co-authored The Go Ask Alice Book Of Answers, and where my great-grandfather invented the reversible garment 100 years ago.
