Chris Martin is on a mission to bring a historic American factory back to life — a building that came close to demolition before he stepped in with a vision. In this special episode, Xiaodong from SkyFire Laser sits down with Chris to explore how laser technology, community engagement, and storytelling can come together to build something truly meaningful.

Topics we explore in this episode:

• How Chris is transforming a 66,000 sq ft abandoned factory into a community space
• The challenges of renovation and how laser tools can make a difference
• Why collaboration between creators and manufacturers matters
• The role of workshops and skill-building programs in revitalizing local communities
• Chris’s memories, motivations, and long-term vision
• How SkyFire and Brick & Sole began working together through YouTube
