We’re Not Really Strangers Founder Helps People Feel Seen (RUN IT BACK!) — Koreen Odiney

Koreen Odiney (IG: @Koreen) is the founder of the viral authentic connection card game, "We're Not Really Strangers" (IG: Werenotreallystrangers), which teaches strangers how to connect authentically & vulnerably. The game has been featured in Vogue, GQ, Red Table Talk, BuzzFeed, and many more and their social media platforms have millions of followers. Koreen and I sat down for this conversation to discuss the game when it was in its very early infancy and had just a few thousand followers! Super inspiring stuff. Enjoy! This is a "RUN IT BACK" episode! The episode was originally recorded in July, 2017, when the podcast was previously called, "The Hustle Sanctuary."
