In this episode, Harith Iskander shares the reality of two very different creative worlds: filmmaking vs. stand-up comedy.
He shares how he spent an entire year pouring his blood, sweat, and tears into directing the 1999 film Hanya Kawan. After 12 months of writing, shooting, and editing, the audience’s reaction was just a casual, “Okay lah.”😅
Contrast that with stand-up comedy, where the feedback is instant. The moment you deliver a punchline, you know exactly where you stand, either laugh, or they don’t. There’s no waiting around, the validation (or rejection) is immediate!
What about you? Are you the type who prefers working on a long-term project with a big reveal, or do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you get instant feedback on your work? Let us know in the comments below! 👇🗣️
Growth happens when you’re in an environment that values who you are. Whether you need more mentorship from this episode or you’re ready to find a career that aligns with your soul, the link in our bio has both. ✨

In this episode, Harith Iskandar talks about a reality we can all relate to why do we give so much of our energy to one nasty comment from a “faceless person” behind a screen, instead of focusing on the thousands of people who support us?
For Harith, the turning point was hearing Joe Rogan’s golden rule: Never read the comments. 🛑
Why do we let the negativity get to us? It’s natural to feel “dented,” and as Harith points out, it often traces back to our childhood conditioning. If enough people tell you something bad, you eventually begin to believe it. But the truth is, the people typing those comments don’t actually know you. So why let their words dictate your self-worth?
How do you handle toxic situations like this, whether it’s online or in your workplace? Are you the type to read every single comment, or do you just block, ignore, and move on? Share your experiences and tips in the comments below! 👇🗣️
