Jack Nathan Wanted to Change the World For the Better, Unfortunately His Time Was Cut Short
Joel & Maryann spoke with parents David Nathan and Bradi Harrison who tragically lost their son Jack at the age of 20. As parents, they will continue to advocate for Mental Health Awareness, work to break the stigma attached to it and speak out and promote what Jack always believed. “It’s ok to not be ok!” Jack was building a community for the misunderstood and he was just getting started.
David and Bradi Nathan have done so much in such a little amount of time to get out the message of what Happy Jack stands for. The scope of what their son stood for and what they are doing as his parents, sister and family to keep his legacy alive.

“Happy Jack” is Jack Nathan. A spiritual, loving and gentle soul whose sole purpose is to make this world a more inclusive place for anyone who suffers from mental health issues.
Jack channeled his anxiety by painting, creating and designing, allowing him to understand how to manage his thoughts and help others do the same. He wanted everyone to know that it’s okay not to be okay.

Meet Maryann, who has been chasing magic since the early 90s. Back then, she hosted a love and dedication show at nights on Magic. Talk about romantic vibes! Since then, she traded her evening slot for mornings. When she’s not talking to you on the air, she’s living the glamorous life of a chicken, duck, pigeon, and German Short-Haired Pointer mom. Since Joel can never follow what she says, there is an entire feature called " What are you Talking About" at 9:10. Running is her secret to staying out of trouble – or at least staying ahead of the extra pounds. She has a husband named Matt, and a son named Zack, who she says makes her world a little adventure.
