100 Leaders with Delwin Keasberry

In this episode, I chat with three-time LinkedIn Top Voice and Branding Expert, String Nguyen. String is the Founder of The Trusted Voice, an online course designed to amplify the trust of experts and professionals by growing their voice online.

String shares about the origins of her content creation journey, how she got recognised as a Top Voice on LinkedIn, three online branding tips, and the importance of recognising how each social media platform has its own culture and creating content accordingly. We also discuss how we have been dealing with COVID19, the power of authenticity online, and exchange insights on life as online coaches.

In this episode, I chat with Melbournian Innovator and Foodpreneur, Ngoc Le. Ngoc has been involved with the Dessert Parlour since 2012, created Melbourne's Donut and Beer Festival in 2017, and is involved in a few other F&B brands including Go Pho Yourself, Soju Sisters and Melange. 

Ngoc shares about the origins of her F&B journey, how she leverages social media to create buzz and grow her businesses, how she is innovating during COVID19, and her list of go-to creativity apps (see below). We also exchange views on how social media has levelled the (marketing) playing field for businesses, dealing with customers' shorter attention spans, and the importance of being adaptable.

To mark podcast episode #50, I chat with my big bro Dexter about all things fatherhood.

We exchange views on what success means to us as ambitious men versus how we define success as fathers. We discuss insights observed about fatherhood from Will Smith, the movie Finding Nemo, and of course, our own father. We also chat about the hardest and the best parts about being a dad, the pressure of trying to balance societal norms versus being the best versions of ourselves as fathers, and things we know now that we wish we knew earlier. 

This one is dedicated to our dad and our late mom.  

In this episode, I chat with Shannon Guss, Survivor Podcaster and TV Analyst. You may recognise her voice from the international Survivor coverage on Rob has a Podcast (RHAP).

Shannon shares about her love for all things Survivor, and insights from her podcasting journey - including rising to the occasion when opportunities surface, biting off more than she can chew . . . and then chewing, an important episode she discussed on RHAP (see link below), and saying yes (and no) to the right things. We then exchange views on Survivor "Winners at War" and Survivor life-lesson takeaways.

In this episode, I chat with Liyana Hanif, Creative Lead at Progresif and Founder of Just Bruneians. Liyana was featured on The Futur, an online education platform for creative entrepreneurs with over 200 thousand followers on Instagram back in March 2020.

Liyana shares a few misconceptions about creativity, her thoughts on the status quo of creativity in Brunei, and advice for aspiring creatives - including having the confidence to fail. We also exchange views on brand building, and the importance of learning business skills and working hard.

This is personally a special episode because Liyana was the first person I had a Conversation with back in June 2019. That was the Conversation that got the ball rolling for me and this podcast. [BUT I made a rookie mistake and forgot to record it!] 

In this episode, I chat with Entrepreneur, Business Coach and Strategist, Fadila Aruci. 

Fadila shares insights on how she grew her Instagram from zero to close to two thousand engaged followers in just over three months. This includes curating your Instagram profile page and content, leaving mini-blog comments, and building rapport via DMs. We also exchange views on mindsets, the importance of knowing who you are, whether video content is here to stay, and adapting growth strategies through different stages of your journey.

In this episode, I chat with the Owner of The Girl in the Cafe, Celeste Wong. Celeste is a coffee and lifestyle entrepreneur, actress, and has been listed as one of London's top five baristas in The Financial Times. 

Celeste shares about the origins of The Girl in the Cafe, the power of coffee in helping people connect, and how success is about being happy with where you are. We then exchange views about the long and winding journey entrepreneurs all go through, and of course, about coffee.  

Taking some time off social media to focus on the online course that I am building, Create Content like a Pro.

This is a short update I shared on my Instagram (@heydelwin) about where I am at.

We exchange thoughts about the psychology of sales including the law of attraction, principle of perception, and the power of having a focused menu. Von'Dre also talks about the importance of a custom website, a CRM system, and an integrated chat platform.

In this episode, I chat with fellow Podcaster, Sheena Yap Chan  from The Tao of Self Confidence (a.k.a. @thetaoofselfconfidence on Instagram). Sheena has written a few books including 101 Ways to Make Money from Podcasting, 101 Ways to Boost your Self Confidence, and The Fearless Asian Women. She is focused on helping and celebrating Asian women. Her podcast has  800 episodes, including interviews with women from all across the world.

Here's Part 2 of my Conversation with Speaker, Success Mindset Coach and the Founder of the School of Success, Phuong Phan. 

(If you have not yet heard Part 1, I recommend clicking backwards and listen to that episode first.)

In today's podcast, Phuong explains how we can find our purpose in five minutes. She explains that purpose doesn't appear all at once and that it doesn't matter how old you are. She invites us to ask ourselves what we enjoy, and then to take action on that passion. We also discuss the power of reading and feeding our minds, having a coach and accountability.
