Join Kartik Sathappan and Jack Dwyer as they sit down with Chris Samra, co-founder of Waves, the viral camera glasses built for creators. We explore how Waves went from a Black Mirror-inspired idea to a launch video with 30M+ views, the privacy debate, and why Chris wants Waves to be more like Ray-Ban than “smart glasses.”
