Let me introduce you to my first female guest,  @Xairpang , for In The Spotlight by Ray Mak. I've known Xair since she was 14 as she was one of my students in my YouTube, Online Music, and SEO class back in 2015. With her amazing talents and the power of the Internet and social media, I witness her landing on opportunities after opportunities, and performing in different countries in all those very tough talent competitions which involve singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, dressing up, all at the same time and so much more. Her journey is certainly not an easy one, especially as a very young girl pursuing her dreams, but each and every experience has shaped her into the kind, amazing, talented, and still very humble woman she is today. As her Sifu, I'm extremely proud of her and certainly wish her all the best in all her future pursues.

In this episode of In The Spotlight, I'm very delighted to introduce to you my good friend  @KevinChanBazi . He does Chinese Metaphysics and on YouTube and other social media platforms, he introduces the fundamentals and mechanisms of action of Chinese Metaphysics in both English and Cantonese which are especially helpful for many people, especially English speaking individuals, to understand and learn more about Chinese Metaphysics. I would also like to congratulate Kevin for reaching 10,000 Subscribers on YouTube, an important milestone to helping even more people. I met Kevin in a very unexpected way. One day, I got invited to a fashion show as a VIP Content Creator / Influencer. I'm someone who doesn't know much about fashion but I tried my best to look the part by wearing the ONLY fashionable outfit I had in my wardrobe, my Wedding Tuxedo. Not far from where I was standing, I was looking at an equally blur, not very friendly, and confused face of another person, standing by a light pole, who probably understands just as much fashion as me. I approached him and there were some awkward moments (Ray Mak is weird and always make people uncomfortable) but we quickly realize we were on the same boat and we went for dinner and beer with a few other friends, same boat minions, instead of staying for the entire fashion show. In this episode of In The Spotlight, we talked about how Kevin started his early morning Livestreams and how he pivoted from writing blogs into Livestreaming and making videos. He shared about his setup and how important is streamlining his livestream processes. Here you'll be learning more about livestream processes, starting a channel, and how to have the least amount of resistance towards creating contents. On the side, Kevin love visiting different restaurants and bars to wine and dine. He has a steadily growing Instagram page called EatinGods, which is also available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@eatingods . People would stumble upon good restaurants on his page and save them for future. After all, there are so many amazing restaurants in Malaysia, and other countries, that are yet to be discovered. PS : Kevin is also the catalyst, push, idea and brains behind In The Spotlight. Like many introverts that look like extroverts, I'm someone who have a lot of fear talking to the camera but I'm very blessed to have many good friends who have much more to offer to the society than me, which I've never taken the time to realize, until I met Kevin.
