My next guest on The PodFest Asia Podcast is Christopher Erwin, Founder of RockWater Industries. He is also the Founder of a 300+ person real estate and leadership community actively investing throughout the US. His heart lives in the ocean and mountains. And increasingly, in podcasting via his The Come Up Podcast.

About our podcast guest: Chris is a 15-year veteran of the media, technology, and commerce industries. His executive experience spans investment banking, venture capital, and new Hollywood. Chris was named by Variety as one of Hollywood’s New Digital Leaders. He earned his MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. He helps companies use content, IP, and nextgen e-commerce to launch new business lines, grow audience, and diversify revenues. He also does market research, M&A, and capital markets for clients operating at the intersection of media, technology, and commerce.
