In this episode, Aven Yap speaks with Lyanna Kea, a Malaysian Chinese creator, actor and producer with over 15 million fans, about building the viral world of Aunty Kea and turning content creation into a genuine production business.

From starting out broke and stuck at home during COVID as an international student, Lyanna shares how a pyjama-friendly “Asian mum” character grew into Kea Productions, a team of 16 people running scripted, animation and lifestyle channels across multiple platforms and languages.

Listen to hear Lyanna talk about:

  • Why quantity beats quality when you are starting out
  • How she runs pre-production, production, post and development each week
  • Why long form video drives loyalty and revenue, not just views
  • Learning to delegate and build a business that survives when she steps away
  • How her content opened doors to Screen Australia, ABC’s Ground Up and more
  • The shifting relationship between creators and the traditional screen industry
