#1: Searching for Meaning with UX Samurai Jay Vidyarthi

Ever wonder what it would be like to quit everything to find more meaning and purpose? Our first guest, Jay Vidyarthi (@jayvidyarthi), did just that when he and his wife abandoned their city life and moved into a monastery. They came back with some life altering surprises. Jay is an award-winning UX or "User Experience" designer and researcher. Named by Forbes as one of the "top 10 world-renowned meditation tech experts", Jay specializes in using a human-centred approach to creating useful products, services, and systems. He led the design behind Muse, a brain-sensing headband that introduces mindfulness through real-time neurofeedback. Jay helped launch A Mindful Society - an annual conference in Toronto where leaders discuss how to integrate mindfulness and compassion into society.
