Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3, E38 | Richard Ker: What Nobody Tells You About Building a Social Media Presence
Q: What is your advice for staying relevant in social media without chasing every trend?
Focus on delivering real value and consistent storytelling that educates, inspires, and sometimes entertains; long-term value and authenticity sustain audience trust even as platforms' algorithms evolve.
S3, E38 | Richard Ker: What Nobody Tells You About Building a Social Media Presence
Q: How should young Malaysians decide between entrepreneurship and working for a company?
Build diverse skills and experiences (dots). Don't focus on a single path; combine corporate learning with side projects to accumulate capabilities that can later form the basis of a sustainable business.
S3, E38 | Richard Ker: What Nobody Tells You About Building a Social Media Presence
Q: What inspired you to start sharing founder stories on social media?
He noticed that telling personal founder stories, like the NASA Malaysia example, resonated deeply and attracted audiences; this led him to systematically use storytelling to build online presence and client work.
S3, E18 | Building a Malaysian Startup in Your 20s: Joel & Joshua’s Buzz Story
Q: How do they approach fundraising and where does government support fit in?
They leaned on government grants and co-funding programs (e.g., Paynet Malaysia), which helped reduce risk for brands and provided runway to build traction, while also pivoting toward more sustainable, revenue-generating channels.
S3, E18 | Building a Malaysian Startup in Your 20s: Joel & Joshua’s Buzz Story
Q: What was the biggest initial obstacle after launching the Touch 'n Go integration?
They faced a major rejection from Touch 'n Go, prompting a reset: they rebuilt the demo, earned a second chance, and ultimately secured the partnership that kickstarted their current trajectory.
