EP. 75 – Balance Without Burnout w/ Robin Malau | The Patty Show

Balance isn’t about doing everything. It’s about knowing what actually matters — and having the courage to protect it. In this episode of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with his Indonesian brother, Meta coworker, and quiet sensei Robin Malau — a true real-life multihyphenate who’s lived several lifetimes in one. Robin is a self-described “Rockstar now Geek.” Born in Indonesia, he came up in the early 2000s underground music scene as the guitarist for legendary hardcore band Puppen, whose song “Atur Aku” was named one of Rolling Stone Indonesia’s 150 Greatest Songs of All Time. From packed shows and a rockband lifestyle to becoming a father, moving to the U.S., and leading high-impact projects for companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, Tesla, and more — Robin has had to learn balance the hard way. This conversation goes deep. We talk about: Life in Bali and Indonesia in the early 2000s The transition from music stages to tech boardrooms Choosing what to say yes and no to as ambition grows Fatherhood, identity, and redefining success Why rest is not weakness — it’s strategy Navigating health, burnout, and reinvention (including Robin’s “New Me” journey managing Type II diabetes) How to protect joy, creativity, and purpose in a nonstop world Robin brings wisdom shaped by experience — not hustle culture fluff. This episode is for anyone chasing big dreams while trying to stay human, healthy, and present. If you’ve ever felt: Torn between passion and responsibility Burned out but still ambitious Like you’ve lived multiple lives already This one’s for you. 🌀 Share your balance tips with #PattyBalance 🎉 Join the Patty Party 📸 @pattyshowpodcast 💪 @pattysetiadifitness
