    I Translate For Korean Celebrities. Here Are The Strict Rules We CANNOT Break | Hello Mentor Full Episode

    In this episode of the Hello Mentor podcast, we sit down with Natalie Chai, a multifaceted content creator and bilingual MC who carved out a highly unique niche, hosting and simultaneously interpreting for Korean celebrities. Natalie's journey began unexpectedly when a random gap year at Yonsei University in Korea at age 17 led her to a part-time gig interpreting for K-pop groups like Super Junior. Fast forward to 2022, a daunting push from the Korea Tourism Organization forced her to seamlessly merge her English MCing and Korean interpreting skills on stage, a high-pressure challenge that ultimately defined her career. Beyond the glitz and strict orchestration of the Korean entertainment industry, Natalie drops invaluable wisdom on why you don't always need a grand dream to succeed, how to strategically weaponize stress and accountability to master new skills, and the true power of finding your Ikigai. Whether you are an aspiring polyglot (she speaks over five languages!) or a professional trying to navigate a nonlinear career path, Natalie's candid stories will leave you inspired to leap at every learning opportunity. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Hello Mentor to hear the full story (Link in Bio) Follow us on Social Media: XiaoHongShu: https://shorturl.at/uVBZO Instagram: https://shorturl.at/hT6wQ TikTok (Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/0gum2 TikTok (Grow With Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/gAObT Dou Yin: https://v.douyin.com/uQlXc4X0vaY/0@9.com 🎧 Listen and follow Hello Mentor!: http://hiredly.com/hellomentor

    Sam Wong: "People Only Care About Numbers." The Psychology of Going Viral | Hello Mentor Full Episode

    Let's be honest, you've definitely stopped mid-scroll to watch this guy walk up to a random stranger and ask, "How much is your outfit worth?" Yep, we finally got Sam Wong in the studio for this episode of Hello Mentor, and his story is way wilder than you'd expect. The guy literally walked away from a UK applied physics degree and a super safe corporate finance job to build his brand from absolute scratch. If you thought he just pointed a camera and got lucky, you're way off. He breaks down how he treats his videos like an actual science experiment, combining his physics-trained brain with this intense, borderline delusional belief in manifestation. And you can't even argue with it, considering it landed him exclusive interviews with David Beckham and Jeremy Lin. He gets brutally real about the mental gymnastics you need to survive when the algorithm suddenly hates you, how he cracked the code for that insane half-a-million-ringgit outfit breakdown, and why you sometimes just need to take massive, scary risks. If you ever wanted to know what it actually takes to turn pure curiosity into a full-blown career without losing your mind, you really need to hear this one. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Hello Mentor to hear the full story (Link in Bio) Follow us on Social Media: XiaoHongShu: https://shorturl.at/uVBZO Instagram: https://shorturl.at/hT6wQ TikTok (Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/0gum2 TikTok (Grow With Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/gAObT Dou Yin: https://v.douyin.com/uQlXc4X0vaY/0@9.com 🎧 Listen and follow Hello Mentor!: http://hiredly.com/hellomentor

    Stepping away from a safe accounting degree to forge his own path, Malaysian content creator Ming Chun transformed his love for local food into a thriving personal brand and restaurant business. Known to his audience as the "Ayam Guy" after reviewing over 50 ayam gepuk locations, he systematically built a loyal following by sharing authentic, relatable reviews.

Arieff gets incredibly candid about his unpredictable career journey, sharing how losing his dream job as a Singapore Airlines flight attendant during the COVID-19 pandemic left him surviving on just $500 a month before ultimately being retrenched. Returning to his hometown in Johor with no income, a simple prank video of him ordering fast food at a drive-thru in a British accent went completely viral, transforming a lifelong hobby into a massive career in the creator economy.

    "If You Can Sell Insurance, You Can Sell Anything" - BilaBila Mart | Hello Mentor Full Episode

    In this highly inspiring episode of Hello Mentor, we sit down with Jing, the co-founder and CEO of BilaBila Mart, Malaysia's fastest-growing convenience grocer. Jing opens up about her turbulent childhood, marked by financial instability and family trauma, which forced her to grow up fast and start working at just 15 years old for RM4 an hour. We dive deep into her winding career path from the corporate tobacco industry to selling insurance and the jaw-dropping moment a former business partner told her to "just ask your husband to feed you," prompting her to walk away and build her own retail empire instead. Launching BilaBila Mart just two days before the 2020 MCO lockdown, Jing shares the brutal realities of pivoting to a grocery model to survive, why she believes childhood trauma fueled her ultimate "survival instinct", and how she successfully scaled an unapologetically homegrown, hyper-local convenience chain to nearly 130 stores across the country. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Hello Mentor to hear the full story (Link in Bio) Follow us on Social Media: XiaoHongShu: https://shorturl.at/uVBZO Instagram: https://shorturl.at/hT6wQ TikTok (Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/0gum2 TikTok (Grow With Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/gAObT Dou Yin: https://v.douyin.com/uQlXc4X0vaY/0@9.com 🎧 Listen and follow Hello Mentor!:http://hiredly.com/hellomentor
