10:51 "I almost want to be alone. But alone 的时候 I feel very alone" It's like you rather be alone than be with the wrong kind of friends/ friends that don't vibe with you. I feel that. relatable.

In my opinion, attempting something and falling short is not a failure, but rather a valuable learning experience. It's those who incessantly talk without taking action and refuse to try who truly fail.

The owner splitting money part which Jonathan mentioned is really insightful! Please share more of such issues, I think it will help all of us to better understand the plights business owners have

Honestly this podcast is more real compared to my daily ketchup. I felt the context is more raw and conversation is more Honest Keep up and keep it real👍

I promise to improve my chinese. - John from 5pm

Mayidou is quite a good host where he will ensure he stands neutral to others opinions and also try to direct his 嘉宾 back to the topic. Nice episode! Good setting as well

在NOC我很欣赏Ryan,希望Ryan可以多像这样的节目表达自己的想法。加油Ryan相信你未来会很美好👍

Entrepreneurship is a lonely journey. Last year Oct 2022, i made a breakthrough by heading over to bangkok alone to open a restaurant (that can house about 200 pax). But it failed, and i am selling it next week as i am running out of $$$. My life turned upside down. I can't save my staffs and i can't give them a better life as i promised. i Failed. And the only person that i can really talk to about this disappointment was me, myself & I. Because no one around me would understand this uncomfortable process of trying to be an entrepreneur. Thus, it was really a very very lonely journey.

The friends that were lost were never friends in the first place.

you need to find people with the same frequency in order to reduce that loneliness. More often than never, people would not understand you or truth, no one cares. You need to be strong internally, give yourself the validation you need, build on your confidence and restart. Everything is a lesson for the future, everything is going to be ok.

As an entrepreneur, when I heard what John said is super super relatable. Entrepreneur is really lonely, many a times when you look back, you actually miss the day where you just started up, everyone in the company have the common goals, although we don’t have much but we all are happy. But when business start to grow, many will feel that as a boss as a leader we start to change. We no longer the same, but at the same time many forgot that we got to be responsible to everyone in the company, certain action and decision is needed to be done. We unable to please everyone, we just need to do what is right for the company. Just want to say appreciate for this episode, suddenly feel that I’m not alone. Jia you to all the entrepreneur, is not easy but you had tried ur best.

Thank you guys for making me to go into deep thoughts. Love the podcast

Thumb up for this show. A good topic to let ppl tink in depth of how to define successful in life.

Ryan 不要放弃，还有很多粉丝会支持你💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Content is good, guests are open and this is what viewers want! Have subscribed to await the next episode!

really a good podcast.. make me learn how to be a better boss. 😂 please continue to post more episodes on any other topics too. looking fwd to watch. 😊👍🏻👍🏻

希望尔后还会陆续的邀请同道之人出来分享他们的故事！这集蛮精彩的。

just found this podcast, love it!! jiayou guys, please keep it real like this, looking forward to more insights from entrepreneurs!

Whatever John say is so relatable!!! Well articulated!!!

take care and all the best .. be strong, people look up to you bro Ryan. It's ok to be alone, than to be surrounded by fake people

*CONGRATS* on the new channel! 🥳🎉 I like “Ah Lian” the most 😂 Best if come with chinese subtitle pls! Easier to watch when outside, or when u can’t catch the word 😉❤️

Quite insightful, although its not full mandarin, its still a nice touch to keep it in Singlish and everyone can more or less understand. Looking forward to your next episode!

Looking forward to more!! Funny cast n I love the honesty and openness. Cracked me up a few times cos of some gestures or stuff they said. Keep the insights coming, please! ❤

Try to be more positive bros, we need to be contented with what we have, not what we lack. You have family/spouse/partner and still relatively healthy, these are things are that cannot be taken for granted as well. Fight on and all the best!

Contented 知足 is the key to happiness which also can be defined as successful.

This is a very comforting talk for young entrepreneurs. Thank you!

Really interesting to see our local content creators coming together to do a podcast in mandarin. Finally something local to look forward to every week. Keep it up guys!👍

我现在也是在困难时期，也是自己太过善良😢 听了你们正能量的话，我不觉得自己失败❤

Failure is part of life. Ups and downs. The path is never smooth. On surface one may feel ok, deep down is the guilt of failure that slowly eats up one life, the will to change and improve is constantly there. Is oneself to stand up and take it step at a time.

This video is so enjoyable! Laughed together with them throughout the video. Earned a new fan here!! Keep it up 😆

Some time I question myself am I successful in life, now I know I might not be.. Always having thought on why am I sticking with my 9 - 5 job, though it pays me quite a decent amount but I've never satisfied and I am not happy.. what strikes me the most is mayiduo questioning about if in life you have nothing to loose, what is the thing that you cannot loose, my 1st thought is music and my ability to sing.. ohh wow... I guess I can now start to explore and try to achieve a more successful and meaningful life..

actually, one of the best episodes , very honest raw truths , no pretense 😊

Failure is when nobody will miss you when you pass away in this world.. Success is when you leave a legacy or make an impact on others in this world.

Failure and success is subjective. As long as you wake up with a smile , you’re successful than millionaires who woke up feeling empty and “lonely”.

As a introvert, this feels like i am hanging out with my extrovert friends having conversations and literally sometimes is really funny, drama and true. Last time.

it's always very hard to have the best of both worlds. when you have money, you hardly have friends, when you have friends and family, you may not earn as much. i guess being contented is really one thing we should try to adapt. ❤

i am rooting for Ryan. Really hope he finds true friends whom he finds trustworthy enough to confide in. Ryan, you probably won't see this message but know that there are people out there rooting for you.

Great discussion about Entrepreneurship and Business! Appreciate the sharing from all bosses 👍

John is really good, has been watching him since you make videos with Dew back then!

well done guys and lady......very good topic to start on for the first episode... =D felt alot of things when u guys talk abt the topic as i lost my job during the covid period and has been looking for a job for the past 6mths or so....felt lost and confuse but still have to move on and hopefully things will turn out well soon....thanks for sharing some of your experiences

looking forward to more podcasts!! 💖

失敗的定義在於個人。。不必理會任何人。。他們並不會對你的人生負責。。自己明白自己在幹嘛就好！

I love this podcast!! Good job Mayiduo and friends :) Jiayou Ryan!!

Love it! 👍More please! No one's a failure. It's a matter of perception at that point of time.

Such an insightful video!❤

这个podcast very real... keep it up

Halfway turned into a regular Daily ketchup podcast with the English hahaha. Enjoyed it nonetheless

Thank you for this wonderful content. Made me think and reflect alot as i was watching this 👍👍👍

Glad there's a branch out to reach mandarin speaking audiences! Do think that it would be good if you can have more of a mix of fluent speakers tho cause the constant help in translation is abit kang kor to listen to in a long form podcast 😅😅 希望這個企劃可以成功喔 👍

This video just hit too many deep spot in life.

听了我忽然间有你们这么棒的朋友！ 非常自然的节目

Good episode. Liked and subscribed!

活着是避免不了得失与挫败，而遇到这些固然会沮丧，但并不能说是失败。面对再多的荆棘，鼓起勇气撑着继续努力活下来，这是迈向成功不是失败。能好好活着，是成功，要时刻感恩。 朋友不需要很多，有几个好的就够了。

As a boss myself, totally can relate what you guys are going through. Leaders are the most lonely, it is what it is. Hopefully one day I'll be successful enough to be on this show to share my journey!

Ryan 加油！very happy to see you

一个人只有内心强大到可以不在乎外界的眼光才能活出自我，活出更多的可能性。人生需要的不多，只是要求的太多。

Nice podcast! 很真！

thumbs up, very entertaining podcast, looking forward for more!

Life as a boss really different as compared to a worker. Can sense Ryan's difficulty.

加油！期待下集的聊天内容～

After the saga, I like Ryan for his honesty. Hope he and his team have a very successful business in the future.

非常真实与实际，加油，一定支持。

eh ryan... bro you got that self-pitying/inferiority complex/narcissistic personality thing leh. you got your loyal friends all around you - already said bryan. then you still self-pity. self-pity is a very unattractive trait. got to fix this personality trait of yours. don't think about how your life sucks, but how you can change the way you think about it. being grateful, SHOWING gratitude. also, change the mindset that relationships are transactional - they are NOT. you cannot give someone and expect them to return it. people can feel indebted to you, but they won't like you - it is an obligation to them, and no one wants that. if you want people to like you, you must be likeable, full stop.

im also owner of a business, it took me like 1 yr to learn the boundaries of staff and boss, since im younger than most of my staffs also. we understand that our staffs sometimes wna geng, but when we call them out they make huge fuss. its rlyyy hard la

继续加油 新加坡需要更多这类型的节目

Honestly really feel for Ryan. I totally know how he feels because I’ve been there (not the working part). It sucks to have no one to talk to/hang out with. People who you thought were your friends will end up turning their backs against you once you mess up. Sad reality of life

Nice to watch!

还有勇气去面对， 就不算是失败。加油！

Could I suggest to put English subtitles for this series? It helps bananas like me learn a bit more by listening and reading.

if someone can control & tell you what to wear , when to work and how to behave your whole life , you have failed and feel miserable at times. Time freedom , financial freedom & a healthy body are the answers to happiness .

i totally can relate to Ryan and im in my late 40s, my advice to him is, don't put too much time on frds, love your family and love ones more.

That’s how life…support!

I like mayiduo! Anyway Ryan was very honest not fake! That’s a plus point

朋友不用多，有质量的朋友比较重要！一个人有的是自由。每一个选择都有后果。自己选的嘛，自己承载咯

one video only no enough lo. 唔够喉lo. pls continue make more video. thx.🙏

Good content... Keep it up!

我喜欢John Tan 的节目邀请很多PAP 人上节目。节目也得到赞助。也赚大钱

Can we request for English Subtitles?

Thank you for the chicken soup, i just started in a new company and is having a hard time trying to adapt into the company's toxic culture. Watching your videos made me feel so much btr 😅 at least my life has been 顺风顺水 for now. Jiayous!! Look forward to more chicken soup eps

good show🎉

95% of lost friends make up the 5% of quality friends and in fact, that 95% of lost will bring more quality friends. In order to gain, we must lose. 100% is already filled, thats why somethings are spilled not within our control.

Very interesting, thumbs up

ryan jia you! thank you to everyone that shared your story! Success comes to only those that have failed!! Salut!

开心就好

keep it going!

Success is personal self growth. Expectations is what other sees.If we can let go of superficial expectations from others and listen on your own thoughts and feelings your greater whole,we will find happiness within ourselves nothing can shaken us because our foundation is strong 💪.

Don't really watch this kind of content but stuck through it, honestly very entertaining. Sorry not really in the know, the left gentleman is in what business? As for Ryan, never really follow the saga after awhile, mai so sad lah, small as it seems I'm sure you can still find joy in little things, I follow you k, cheer up! Professional as I try to be in work capacity I could always relate to the 3rd gentleman to the right and his peer's content cause of the xiao beng in me, glad he is doing well, which movie are they shooting? I legit thought the lady was his wife hahaha

中文的podcast很特别 订阅了

I'm a fan of thedailyketchup now with mandarin version best

Just a question for John, I think he make a very sensible example about the last analogy. Can I know then what is the alternative? I know you shared that you are still learning but you must have some sort of an idea. What would that alternative looks like in an idealistic situation.

Most important must have 贵人 (hope I've spelt correctly). Without this, no matter how hard you work also no use.

Think from another perspective, now it's a good time you recognize know who your friends are. Better than surrounded by fake friends.

Would appreciate there to be Eng subs for non-mandarin speakers cause I really like the concept of the show!

Ryan past experience with Sylvia really destroyed him and makes him a bad guy. It will takes time to heal and people will slowly forget.

Have to learn to be contented with what you have,. This is when one will feel happy. Friends are not a matter of numbers. Not number of years of number of friends and invitations. Friends and family are those who stay by you when you are happy or sad. But at the end of the day, one must be contented in order to be happy. If you dont open yourself up, you will always feel not understood or repressed. Open up your heart and share with those closest to you. You will feel lighter. The support system will naturally fall into place. Jiayou and be happy!

Can I know what is the title of book that mayiduo read?

這種節目好看

@ryan 加油❤

Real talk show! Super nice and meaningful 🎉

this show got promise
