Gamified Resilience Training for Teens

Become the Hero of Your Story
In any classic tale, the hero is the character who rises up to change their story. Sidekicks do not.
​
I believe we were all born to be the hero of our own story, but sometimes we feel like the sidekick.
​
In Sidekick to Hero, I teach teens how to think, feel, and act differently than the rest of the world so they can avoid getting the sidekick results the majority of teens are getting today.
​
I'm looking for teens who want to stand out and be different in the best way possible. I'm looking for teens who are ready to kick themselves into HERO MODE!

I Get It - The Teen Years are TOUGH!
It's especially hard to be a teen when you THINK LIKE A SIDEKICK! You give up all your power or never even access it to begin with. This results in self-doubt, procrastination, and being overwhelmed by stress.
How do you stop this?
​
YOU THINK LIKE A HERO!
Add Mental Resilience to Your Teen's Education
Schools Don't Teach This
I was a middle school teacher and counselor for seven years. Schools are designed for the "hard skills" of reading, writing, and arithmetic. There are no classes on the "soft skills" of mental & emotional resilience. That's why I created Sidekick to Hero.
Perfect Resource for Involved Parents
Teens that get the most out of Sidekick to Hero are the ones whose parents make sure they sign in and watch something at least 3 times a week. If you get them in the app, I'll take care of the rest!
Maximize Their Success
Many teens have the academic skills to survive after high school, but not the mental flexibility and emotional control to really thrive. The skills taught in Sidekick to Hero will multiply your teen's potential for success!
Proven Strategies
Lessons and skills taught are based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotional processing techniques, and a myriad of effective strategies for success from influential authors, coaches, and experts such as:
​
-
Stephen R. Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People)
-
James Clear (Atomic Habits)
-
Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)
-
The Arbinger Institute (Leadership and Self-Deception)
-
Jody Moore (Better Than Happy)
-
Brooke Castillo (The Life Coach School)
-
Simon Sinek (The Infinite Game)
-
Cal Newport (Deep Work)
-
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Antifragile)
-
Daniel Coyle (The Talent Code)
-
Napoleon Hill (Own Your Own Mind)
-
Carol S. Dweck (Growth Mindset)
-
Todd Herman (The Alter Ego Effect)
-
Dave Ramsey (Total Money Makeover)
-
Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad)
-
and more!
​
I take the awesome ideas these powerful thought leaders teach and present them in short, humor-filled lessons that teens can understand and remember!
No Smart Phone Needed
I'm not a fan of teens having smart phones, so I designed Sidekick to Hero to be a web-based app that can be access on a web-browser on any device.
​
iOS and Android apps are being developed as we speak and will release in the next year. So, I'm not a total hater.
Who the Heck am I, Anyway?
Meet Your Teen's New Mentor
Glad you asked! I'm Joey Mascio, I like Flammin Hot Cheetos, Cookie Crisp cereal, and snowboarding.
​
But here's the stuff about me that you actually care about:
​
Masters in Education
I was a middle school teacher and counselor for 7 years in Southern California where I was nominated for Teacher of the Year in my region, ran the Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS), and volunteered to be the full time teacher in the discipline office where I first started coaching teens on mental resilience and success.
​
Professionally Certified Life Coach
I have run my own coaching business for 5 years where I coach teens on confidence and creating success. I received my life coach certification from The Life Coach School and an advanced certification in Faith-based Coaching from Jody Moore.
​
Motivational Speaker
I've spoken at schools, church activities, girls camps, homeschool conventions, and small co-ops across the country. It's my favorite! Email me if you need a high-energy, confidence building presentation for teens.
​
Performer, Writer, and Comedian
I have over two decades of experience as a stage actor, a character performer at Disneyland, and an improv comedian plus a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I use those storytelling skills and comedy chops to make my lessons engaging and entertaining for teens.
​
Family, Faith, and Freedom
I love my family, my faith, and my freedom ('Merica!). My wife and I live in Utah with our four kids and we are raising them to love God and respect people of all beliefs and backgrounds. Sidekick to Hero is a secular program that does NOT teach principles from any one religion, but also doesn't shy away from saying that having faith in something is awesome.
