In Their Own Words
Nur Aisyah Razali
Personal finance podcaster, KL
"I'd been producing my show for about two years before attending the Workshop, and I thought I had a reasonably careful approach to the topic. The session gave me a framework I didn't know I was missing — specific phrases and a way of thinking about the line between describing and recommending. I've used the framing guide every week since."

Faridah Hamdan
Financial newsletter writer, Petaling Jaya
"The Six-Week Programme was more demanding than I expected — not in a bad way, but the peer review sessions pushed me to be much more deliberate about how I structured my pieces. Having a facilitator actually look at a draft and say 'this reads as a recommendation, here's why' was more useful than any amount of general advice about being careful."

Chong Wei Liang
Short-form video creator, KL
"Short-form content about money is genuinely tricky because you have about sixty seconds and no space for nuance. The Workshop addressed this directly — how to be responsible in a brief format without losing clarity. I wasn't expecting that kind of format-specific thinking. Small group too, so there was real conversation."

Suresh Krishnamoorthy
Podcast host, Shah Alam
"I joined the Annual Track after doing the Six-Week Programme the year before. The rotating topic coverage means it doesn't feel repetitive — the ground covered each year shifts, which keeps it worth attending. The quarterly editorial reviews have become something I actually look forward to, even when the feedback is pointed."

Zainab Ahmad
Finance blogger & video creator, KL
"My main hesitation before signing up was whether the content would feel relevant to the Malaysian context. It did — the examples came from local content and the discussion stayed grounded in what creators here actually face. The framing guide is something I've passed on to colleagues who couldn't attend."

Reza Mahathir
Podcast producer, Subang Jaya
"The interview structuring module in the Six-Week Programme was particularly well done. I do a lot of guest episodes with people in financial services, and knowing how to structure those conversations — what to ask, what not to ask, how to frame the discussion before you start recording — has changed how I prepare. Worth the whole programme on its own."

Participant Journeys in Detail
Lim Yoke Ling — Personal Finance Podcast
Six-Week Creators Literacy Programme
The Challenge
Yoke Ling had been producing a personal finance podcast for eighteen months. Her listeners trusted her, which made her increasingly careful — but she didn't have a systematic way to check her own framing before publishing. She sometimes heard episodes back and wasn't confident they'd landed on the right side of the advice line.
The Programme
Through the Six-Week Programme, she developed a pre-publication checklist adapted from the framing methodology and worked through two actual episode outlines in the peer review sessions. The group included two other podcasters and a newsletter writer, so the feedback reflected different format perspectives.
The Outcome
By the end of the programme, Yoke Ling had a reliable pre-publish review process and a clearer sense of where her existing episodes had been appropriately framed and where they'd been closer to the line than she'd realised. She joined the Annual Track the following year.
"Having my actual outlines reviewed — not a made-up scenario but my real drafts — meant the feedback was immediately useful. I walked out of the review session and rewrote my next episode before I'd even left the building."
Hafiz Azman — Short-Form Video Creator
Talking About Money Workshop
The Challenge
Hafiz produced short explainer videos on investment topics for a growing audience. The two-minute format left no room for extended caveats, but he was concerned that brevity was making his content sound more prescriptive than he intended. He was looking for approaches rather than disclaimers.
The Programme
The Workshop's second evening focused directly on compressed-format framing — how to handle the non-advisory positioning in a brief video without breaking the pacing. Hafiz workshopped a script he had in production and left with a revised approach to the opening and closing of his pieces.
The Outcome
He revised three pending videos before publication. His audience response didn't change — which he took as a sign that the framing adjustments had landed naturally rather than adding awkward disclaimers. He's attended two Workshops since, bringing different content challenges each time.
"I expected the Workshop to tell me to add disclaimers. Instead it gave me better ways to open and close that shifted the whole tone without changing the content. That was the actual insight."
