What do you get when two actors — one of them a former Green Power Ranger — decide they’re done waiting for scripts and start writing their own story… in tech?

Sit down with Christian Lee and Jason Chan, co-founders of Cinewav, a world-first platform changing how audiences experience sound in films and live events. From life on film sets and struggles in the media industry to the “yes, and” rule that kept their partnership alive — this conversation is raw, hilarious, and full of lessons on reinvention, storytelling, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

Tune in to hear:

- How a Green Power Ranger ended up co-founding a tech company
- The moment they realised their “failed” side project was actually genius
- The acting principle that became their business superpower
- Why storytelling might be the secret to raising millions

 All that and more in Part 1 of this inspiring two-part journey with the founders of Cinewav. It’s a wild mix of film, friendship, and fearless entrepreneurship — all told with the kind of energy only two storytellers could bring.

Don’t miss it! this one’s for dreamers, doers, and anyone who’s ever asked, “what if we tried something crazy?
