IZZY DOES IT

In this episode, Wafiqah aka WEEKEH talks about her content creation journey, her experience with cyber-bullying, and her friendship with fellow TikTok creators! The conversation took a drastic turn when she bravely opened up about her experience with bullying at the workplace that affected her mental health, causing her to go through depression. She shared why she decided to go through it alone, fearing she might burden her family and friends. But her drive to get better made her sought therapy which alhamdulillah, then helped her cope with her mental health struggles and shaped her into the woman she is today.

This week, I’m joined by Chong Ing Kai, co-founder of Stick 'Em, a Singapore-based edtech startup with a social mission to make STEAM education more accessible and affordable for students worldwide. We talked about how last year during his National Service, Kai took a huge risk by secretly going to London to pitch at the prestigious Hult Prize competition (dubbed as the Nobel Prize for students) to secure a USD1m in funding knowing full well he could get in serious trouble if things went wrong. We also got into the realities of building a startup — whether press coverages matter, the art of cold emailing, and being shameless to ask for opportunities. A lot of practical lessons in this one, whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, student, or someone wanting to build something. *** 💡Izzy Does It is free to watch and if you believe it brings value, please consider helping us keep the show going by contributing to the bank account below.

This week, Iqmal “The Eniqma” shares how creators in Brunei can monetize on YouTube, sparked by his viral Threads post sharing step-by-step guidance. He recounts starting seven years ago from podcast-style horror storytelling without showing his face, then pivoting as he learned his audience preferred factual topics like dark psychology and philosophy. He discusses learning editing from scratch, going full-time after YouTube earnings surpassed his job during COVID, and setting goals to decide when to commit. The conversation covers key metrics (CTR, average view duration, retention graph), thumbnails/titles, targeting audiences beyond Brunei for higher RPM, video length and ad placements, sponsorships (Surfshark, others), posting frequency, and his plan to offer consultations to help others start and persist. *** 💡Izzy Does It is free to watch and if you believe it brings value, please consider helping us keep the show going by contributing to the bank account below.

In this episode, in conjunction with the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, I sit down with Syahmun Matasan, clinical psychologist and mental health strategic lead at the Health Promotion Centre (Ministry of Health Brunei), and Muhammad Ihtishamuddin (Ihti), HR officer at the Safety, Health and Environment National Authority (SHENA), to unpack a term I have never heard of: psychosocial health. We get into why "just tough it out" doesn't work anymore, the warning signs of burnout we keep missing (spoiler: the loudest people aren't usually the ones struggling), why high performers tend to hide stress the best, and the real reason people delay seeking help. Whether you're an employee who's been quietly burning out, a manager trying to do better by your team, or a business owner figuring out how to lead with care without losing the plot, this one's for you. This episode is sponsored by SHENA. Thank you to SHENA for making this conversation possible and highlighting the importance of workplace well-being.

Before the titles, the boardrooms, and the 11 companies — there was a small kitchen, a hardworking mother, and a boy who learned everything about sacrifice just by showing up and helping cook. Dr. Shaikh Khalid, Chairman and Managing Director of the Serikandi Group of Companies, sits down with us to share the story he doesn't always tell. From helping his late mother prepare food orders to make ends meet, to taking over the family business and growing it into one of Brunei's most recognised groups — this one is personal, real, and genuinely worth your time. If you've ever thought your starting point was too small, press play. *** 💡Izzy Does It is free to watch and if you believe it brings value, please consider helping us keep the show going by contributing to the bank account below.

For the first time, I switched seats. After years of hosting conversations on Izzy Does It, I become the one being interviewed. What unfolds is a deeply personal story about growing up estranged from my Thai father, living 36 years without him, and the unexpected journey that led to our reunion in Bangkok. In this episode, Tiwin Aji helped me unpack: • What it was like growing up without a father • The stories I created as a child to make sense of the absence • The anger, confusion, and quiet grief that followed me into adulthood • The internal work it took to release resentment • The almost unbelievable chain of events that led to finally meeting my father face to face Thank you to Tiwin for holding space for this conversation.

Since it was my first time meeting Ustaz Mizi Wahid, I took the opportunity to get to know him: who he was before becoming an ustaz, where he came from, and how he discovered his calling. We then spoke how praise can be just as dangerous for the heart as criticism. That being put on a pedestal carries its own weight. And that faith, leadership, and public visibility come with quiet struggles people don’t always see. We also went deep into men’s mental health. Why more men are struggling in silence. Why suicide rates among men are rising. And why vulnerability is not weakness. Ustaz Mizi reminds us that our Prophet Muhammad showed softness, emotion, and openness, and that men are allowed to do the same.

In this episode, I sit down with Dan, a barber from Unorthodox whose path is anything but traditional. After facing a difficult period in his life, Dan made the bold decision to drop out of his master’s program and pursue barbering full time. His story challenges the idea that success has only one route and shines a light on the courage it takes to choose a life that feels right rather than one that simply looks right on paper.   This is a conversation I have wanted to have for a long time. It is for anyone who feels trapped by expectations, unsure of their next step, or unaware of the possibilities that exist outside the usual career paths.

In this solo episode, I talk about main character energy in general, and how it can become toxic energy. It's a short and casual session so put on your headphones, and press play!

This conversation really shifted something in me and I hope it will do the same for you. In this episode I sit down with Melline Jaini aka Mel, General Manager of UNIKLEARN, a program under An-Nur Harapan, and what I walked away with was a new understanding not just of autism, but of our own deeply ingrained instinct to overprotect. We often see individuals on the spectrum or persons with disabilities as incapable of performing certain tasks not out of malice, but out of compassion. We, especially parents and guardians, think we’re helping by shielding them. But what if, in doing so, we’re holding them back from discovering what they’re truly capable of? At UNIKLEARN, Mel and her team are changing that. They’re providing the space, tools, and support for individuals to learn, grow, and work with dignity and independence. Mel also shares her personal journey coming from a commercial background, facing her own challenges and how she eventually found deep purpose in this work. This one’s an invitation to unlearn, rethink, and imagine a more inclusive world.   📺 Watch the full episode now and join the conversation!

In this episode, I sat down with Danial Hakim who shared his journey of being diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 7 years old, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. After surviving it, he returned to the sport he loved — swimming. Through hard work and determination, Danial went on to represent Brunei as a paraswimmer, proudly bagging medals! Danial’s story will move and inspire anyone facing their own battles, reminding us all that anything is possible as long as you have the will to keep going.   A Tiala Studio Production (Instagram: @tialastudio)   This episode is powered by Heidelberg Materials.

In this episode, IZZY reflects on the themes of grief and loss, sharing personal experiences and insights from the previous episode featuring Malay Didi, CEO of Smarter Brunei. The conversation delves into the complexities of grief, the importance of emotional support, and the impact of caregiving, particularly in the context of autism awareness. IZZY emphasizes the inevitability of grief and the necessity of allowing oneself to feel and process emotions, while also discussing the challenges faced by families caring for loved ones with special needs.

This conversation has so many layers. I had the honour of sitting down with Malai Didi, CEO of SMARTER Brunei, and what unfolded was more than just a discussion about autism. It became a heartfelt reflection on legacy, grief, and resilience. Malai Didi shares the story of her late father, Malai Hj Abdullah, one of the founding members of SMARTER Brunei. She opens up about the grief of losing him, and how, in many ways, he had been preparing her all along to step into this role and carry on the work he started. We talked about what autism really looks like, the different parts of the spectrum, and how we can build a more compassionate and inclusive community. I’m so grateful for this conversation and for people like Malai Didi who continue to show up, do the work, and lead with heart.

In this solo episode, Izzy talks about the ripple effect of the Cigu Adi episode, how he measure an episode's success, shame culture, youth aspirations to be content creators, and reading the feedback you shared!

Famously known as Cikgu Adi on TikTok, yes, “Atubah kamu~” Adi Amni first went viral after posting a heartwarming video with his students. That moment quickly captured the attention of thousands, and since then, Adi has grown into a part-time content creator, best known for his fun and food reviews.In this episode, we dive into the origin of his content journey, the story behind the viral classroom moment, and the personal motivations that fuel his success. Of course, I couldn’t resist asking about that recent drama (iykyk). So if you’re here for that, press play!

In this profoundly moving episode, we introduce you to a remarkable individual, Ajis Dollah, whose story transcends the boundaries of hardship and despair. Ajis spent more than two decades behind bars, entangled in a cycle of addiction and incarceration, an ordeal that repeated itself five times. He's the living embodiment of the complex relationship between society's judgments and the enduring flame of hope. It's a narrative that reminds us of the world's harshness and its capacity for forgiveness and compassion. Ajis found his lifeline in the unwavering support of his wife and children, who even when promises were broken, they waited patiently, steadfastly by his side. In our two-hour conversation, we delved into the intricate workings of Ajis's mind. Through his stories, we traced his extraordinary journey of redemption, witnessing the transformation of a man who once seemed lost to the world.Ajis's wisdom and his message of hope will resonate deeply with those who are struggling to find meaning and purpose in their own lives. This episode is a must-listen especially for everyone who needs a beacon of light during their darkest moments. In a world that often rushes to judgment, Ajis's story is a testament to the power of resilience, second chances, and the unyielding spirit of those who seek the path to redemption.

A year ago today, I released my first ever solo episode titled 'let me introduce my introverted self' and how ironic is it that in this episode I talked to random strangers around bandar.
