Meet the Firestarter, with Chris Barez-Brown
In July, we announced that we were leading a ground-breaking new project within the Dscoop global community, aimed at promoting mental health and wellness support to business leaders in the print industry.
The initiative, led by four passionate Dscoopers, from diverse industry backgrounds: Infigo Head of Global Marketing, Chris Minn, GPA (Fedrigoni Group) Director of Marketing Communications & e-Commerce, Jessica DeCola, MindFire Inc. Co-founder & President, David Rosendahl, and Precision Proco CEO, Jon Bailey, share a collective vision to create a community that prioritizes mental health and wellness, whilst providing a safe space for open discussions and support.
Keeping momentum high, following on from the inaugural She*t for Brains session, featuring bestselling author and speaker, Glenn Packiam, we return on Thursday 21st November at 11.30AM EST | 16.30PM GMT, this time, Jon, Dave, Jessica and Chris welcome speaker, author, and founder of the Upping Your Elvis and Talk it Out initiative, Chris Barez-Brown.
Barez-Brown, believes that: “humans are simply not designed for business and that we spend far too much energy trying to fit in with its needs”. His unique approach challenges people and businesses to embed a more human and energetic culture at the heart of everything they do.
Those who register in advance will have the opportunity to trial and discover a simple approach that Barez-Brown has founded. Over the course of 4 weeks, you’ll have access to the Firebreak app. Chris added: “By using the Talk it Out app for 10 minutes on a Friday, for 4 weeks, you get to process your week and clear your head of the busyness we all carry around with us. You can then re-charge over the weekend and come back to work Monday with renewed energy, laser-focused on how to use your talents best.”
Strongly supported by Dscoop, and its dedicated global community, the She*t for Brains group plans to carry the momentum and efforts into a physical space at EDGE Long Beach in May 2025, with in-person sessions, a wellness event, and a booth space hosting a ‘Wellness Oasis’, that will highlight and elevate interactions and collaborations.
Infigo Head of Global Marketing, Chris Minn, said on the session: “Chris Barez-Brown left a lasting impression on me when I first saw him live at Dscoop Edge Orlando in 2019. His delivery on creative thinking and the ‘Alpha state’ truly resonated with me and has stayed with me ever since. I’m very excited to see him on the upcoming *She*t for Brains* live virtual event on November 21st. I can’t wait to experience his energy and insights once again!”
So, if you’re ready to unlock the secrets of resilience in both your personal and professional life, and positively shape your mental health and provide insights into how to find work/life balance, join us on Thursday 21st November at 11.30AM EST | 16.30PM GMT.
