Real Connection is the Ultimate Contribution with Paul Brillinger

Dr. Dan talks to Paul Brillinger (CEO & Co-Founder OuiSi) about mindfulness and connection on today’s episode. At OuiSi, Paul and his co-founders and team believe that making real connections is the ultimate contribution, and OuiSi is an expression of this calling. Paul believes that life is a richer experience when we are curious about each other. OuiSi blossomed as an idea in 2015, when Paul met co-founder Kaz Brecher at the THNK School of Creative Leadership. Both enjoyed exploring the world through the camera lens. The recurrence of patterns, colors and shapes in daily life and nature fascinated them. After years of development and design, in 2017 OuiSi came to life as an app. But the idea of creating a physical version of OuiSi was always in the back of their heads and in early 2019 Paul, Kaz, and Michael Bradley (the third Co-Founder) ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for OuiSi Games of Visual Connection.  Paul focuses on enabling co-creation, play, and mindfulness in our world. Today’s conversation between Dr. Dan and Paul about mindfulness, unplugging, social-emotional learning, creative expression, connecting and creating community is a way forward for us all.
