Jason Park doesn’t talk about innovation in theory. He’s lived it across gaming, insurance, and now AI in construction. He went from building his own game studio in Singapore to running MetLife’s Innovation Lab without ever planning to work in corporate. Along the way, he helped build the first Islamic insurance innovation lab in Malaysia and figured out how to survive inside slow-moving companies without getting stuck.

He breaks down what it’s like to work in a lab where no one agrees on what innovation even means. He explains the tension between entrepreneurs who want to move fast and corporate folks who want to check boxes. He admits what he didn’t know, what he had to fake, and what actually worked.

If you're building inside a big company, trying to figure out innovation culture, or wondering how the hell to keep your edge without burning out, this one's worth your time.
