To create community and facilitate serendipity. To encourage idea exchange and explore new experiences. To envision how technology will change our world for the better.
Doug Campbell cofounded Mindshare LA in 2006, as a means to intersect these passions; each month ~400 diverse Los Angeleans gather for a night of inspiration and interaction. The cornerstone of the evening is a curated program of short, eclectic presentations.
In 2008, together with a group of artistic engineers, he formed Syyn Labs, a company that creates interactive experiences which encourage people to reconsider their relationship with themselves, each other and the world around them.
Campbell promotes balance, both internally and externally, by constructing a dynamism of opposing energies. Art meets science. Social energy augments meditative solitude. Celebratory hedonism marries charitable endeavor. The Tuxedo Travels is a fun manifestation of the latter, seemingly opposing binary.
From Vipassana meditation to self-quantification, Campbell views life as a series of iterative growth cycles, conducting mindful experiments in which he acts as both researcher and subject.

Campbell is currently living part time in LA where he helps run Mindshare LA and Syyn Labs, and part time in rural CA while he edits his first book - an exploration of human behaviour and futurist thought which emerges over a three month trip to South America.
