The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.

KrASIA (Kr): Could you give an introduction to your podcast? 

Reggie Koh (RK):My podcast is called The Financial Coconut. It started shortly after I moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I didn’t have much to do and as people say: “Good things are born out of boredom.”

I was getting annoyed by YouTube advertisements and “success gurus” promoting themselves. So I decided to put up my own fight and show them the way to do it. Not that I’m highly successful in life, but I wanted to share my realistic thoughts and perspectives. I picked up the mic, recorded, and published videos. In 10 episodes, I had more than a thousand followers. By the 20th episode, we were in the ballpark of 3,000 followers. That’s where things got more serious. I felt responsible, I started scheduling content and currently, we are the number one financial literacy podcast in Singapore.
