    #3 - Jason Chan - Mindset, GRIT and Loving the Journey.

    This episode we have an amazing treat chatting with Jason Chan.  I first met Jason nearly 20 years ago in Sydney and you'll hear all about our chance meeting in the podcast. But first let me tell you a little more about him and why you'll want to stick around for this. He's a trained pianist, dancer, doctor and actor, and got his first taste of real world entertainment success straight out of acting school when he was cast as a Co-host for Playhouse Disney before landing a role that has since achieved cult status - that of as the green power ranger. Shortly after  he moved to Singapore, acted for film, theatre and TV as well as hosting segments for the China Olympics in 2008 for Singapore's Mediacorp Channel 5.  in 2012 he started his own production company with his friend and business partner Christian Lee, starting off servicing corporate  clients before eventually focusing to produce their own content.  They have since trail blazed a path in the new media, winning numerous awards in the new streaming space, starting  with What do Men Want on Toggle which was simulaneously broadcast to TV, followed up by a web series - Perfect Girl, which eventually got picked up by Viki and the holy grail of modern media - Netflix.  Jason then went on to co-produce their first independently financed feature film Jimami Tofu, which won the audience choice award for best feature film at the Hawaii International Film Festival  and currently has a not to be scoffed at 8.4 rating on IMDB. Jimami Tofu also has the distinct achievement of being the longest running film screened in Singapore. Most recently he has co-founded a new company with Christian - Cinewav - to allow anyone to experience the full magic of cinema anywhere with just a projector, laptop and mobile phone, effectively giving film makers the ability of getting their films seen in the way they wanted - on the big screen with perfect audio ANYWHERE that even fully decked out cinemas cannot match.   Groundbreaking, game changing stuff.
