Elijah Khan’s journey is anything but ordinary. From struggling to make ends meet as a working actor to building Accentify, a breakthrough app helping people master accents, Elijah has turned rejection and hardship into innovation and opportunity.

In this episode of Direct Or Detour, Elijah shares how he transitioned from the grind of London’s acting scene to launching a tech startup during the pandemic—and why solving a problem he personally experienced became his mission.
