    S3, E41 | Eddie Tan: Why I Turned Down A Michelin-Star Future To Build A Bakery From Scratch

    In this episode of the Hello Mentor podcast, we sit down with Eddie Tan, the founder behind the popular bakery brands Cake Tella (known for its alcoholic cakes) and Keto Cakes. Eddie’s culinary journey began unconventionally, a self-described poor student who found his passion in a culinary arts program , he initially trained as a hot cooking chef, even securing a spot on a competition team and working at the Michelin-starred DC Restaurant. Despite lacking baking experience, an encounter with a popular, yet underwhelming, homemade cheesecake ignited his entrepreneurial drive, leading him to learn baking from the ground up. Today, Eddie has built a thriving business over the last 14 years , pivoting successfully through the MCO lockdowns and now balancing his time between B2B supplies, running his personal brand "Eddie Ming," and cultivating his true passion: grooming the next generation of culinary and business talent. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E40 | Adam Izzy: The Brutal Truth About Malaysia's Creator & Music Industry

    In this episode of Hello Mentor, we sit down with Adam Izzy, the content creator and musical storyteller who has spent the last ten years building a unique online presence that blends comedy with high-quality music production. Long before his videos started going viral on TikTok, Adam’s career path took him from hosting weddings for just RM100 a night, to producing music, and eventually becoming a national radio announcer. In this episode, he shares his honest take on the illusion of job security, how being an introvert shapes his content creation, and the six long years of quiet, hard work it took before his videos finally blew up online. We also look at the realities of the Malaysian creative scene, and why finding your specific purpose is the only thing that keeps you going when the algorithms and views fade. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E39 | 'I Was Desperate For Money.' How Bryan Low Turned RM400 Into A RM100k Business

    Bryan Low, a content entrepreneur and creative agency founder who turned his early financial struggles into a massive online presence. Originally from the small town of Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Bryan's business journey started back in university when he urgently needed to repay a debt, leading him to discover e-commerce and dropshipping. Fast forward to 2022, a severe knee injury left him stuck in a leg cast. To pass the time, he decided to document his recovery on TikTok and share his story of how he turned a RM400 investment into RM100,000 in revenue during the MCO. That video went viral, eventually growing his following to over 1.4 million across social media. Despite his massive online following, Brian is actually an introvert who constantly pushes himself out of his comfort zone, whether that means selling RM10 bags at a local pasar malam or forcing himself onto stages to learn public speaking. In this episode, Bryan shares the real side of the creator economy, the difference between just getting views versus having actual influence and the leadership lessons he’s learned while running his own creative agency. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E38 | Richard Ker: What Nobody Tells You About Building a Social Media Presence

    He grew up on a rubber estate in Tawau, Sabah, a place often called the final frontier where the roads weren’t even paved, the dial-up internet cut out every twenty minutes, and the nearest big city felt further away than Bali. Yet, from that quiet corner of the country, Richard Ker taught himself how to build websites, accidentally started a one-man global e-commerce business fixing iPhones out of a Beijing Starbucks, and spent twenty years living and working across the UK and China. When he finally came back to Malaysia, it was with one clear mission: to help entrepreneurs tell their stories. Today, as a content creator with nearly half a million followers and the founder of his own social media marketing agency, Richard’s career is built on a simple belief, that storytelling is the oldest technology we have, and if you master it, the opportunities will come to you. This episode is for every young Malaysian who feels like they’re too far away from the action to build something big because Richard is living proof that you can start from anywhere, even the furthest edge of Sabah, and still make it. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E37 | Alone, But Not Lonely: The Real Cost of Leadership with Derek Toh

    What does it actually take to walk away from a comfortable life and build a business from scratch? At 33, Derek Toh did exactly that—abandoning a highly stable corporate accounting career in London to return to Malaysia and dive into the unpredictable world of recruitment. When he eventually decided to launch the job platform Hiredly, he didn't wait for massive funding or perfect software; instead, he walked into pitching rooms armed with nothing but a basic PDF mockup and a compelling vision. He proved that resourcefulness and a rock-solid personal reputation are worth far more than any legal contract or polished pitch deck. But the entrepreneurial dream isn't all cover stories and immediate wealth. In this incredibly candid conversation, Derek strips away the glamour of being a founder to reveal the true mental and financial toll of leadership. He opens up about the brutal reality of Year 3, where despite gaining major media traction, he found himself with just 7 ringgit in his bank account, unable to pay for a simple mamak dinner. He also walks us through the painful internal crisis of scaling Hirely, sharing how an layers of middle management almost destroyed the company's core culture by hiding real problems behind picture-perfect corporate messaging. Deeply introspective and fiercely honest, Derek Toh joins the podcast to share his ultimate guide to mental resilience. Tune in to learn why asking "stupid" questions is the fastest way to learn , how to look for the "blessing in disguise" when everything goes wrong , and how separating your true self from the stressful thoughts in your head can save you from burning out. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E35 | The Truth About Being the Funniest Person in Malaysia

    Before Malaysia had a comedy industry, there was one man, a borrowed stage, and ten minutes of material scribbled on the palm of his hand. On the 31st of August 1990, Merdeka Day, of all days, a young Harith Iskander walked into the lobby lounge of the Subang Airport Hotel and made a handful of hotel waiters and two tourists laugh, and in doing so, quietly planted the seed of an entire art form in this country.  The son of a Malay army officer and a Scottish United Nations secretary who fell in love in the middle of a civil war in the Congo, Harith was never going to be anything other than extraordinary and three decades later, the man the world knows as the Godfather of Malaysian Stand-Up Comedy has the accolades to prove it: Asia's Best Stand-Up Comedian, the first Southeast Asian comedian to release a Netflix special, and the 2016 Laugh Factory Funniest Person in the World, beating out 88 international comedians to bring that title home to Malaysia. But beyond the trophies and the punchlines is a man who has spent his entire career believing that laughter is the most honest language we have, tune in, because this conversation is funny, raw, and more meaningful than you'd expect. 🎙️ 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

    S3, E34 | Wei Xiang, Founder of Versa Asia: Nobody Taught Us How to Save. So He Did.

    Sometimes the idea that changes everything doesn't arrive in a boardroom, it arrives in a vet clinic, staring at a broken fixed deposit and the creeping realisation that the financial system was never really designed with ordinary people in mind. Teoh Wei Xiang is the co-founder and CEO of Versa Asia, Malaysia's first online platform licensed to distribute investment products digitally and the story of how it came to be is as human as it gets. When his family dog needed emergency surgery, Xiang broke his fixed deposit and lost all the interest he had carefully accumulated, and instead of simply accepting that this was just the way things worked, he asked a different question entirely: why should Malaysians have to choose between their savings and their emergencies? Built from scratch alongside his long-time friends Nelson and Richmond, Versa has since grown into a wealthtech platform trusted by over 270,000 users, 90% of whom are under 40, helping young Malaysians save close to RM500 million in 2024 alone. In a world where personal finance can feel intimidating, inaccessible, and frankly boring, Wei Xiang built something that actually feels like it's on your side, tune in, because this is a conversation about money that has nothing to do with how much of it you already have. 🎙️ Watch the full episode o 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
