Ever wondered how a 21-year-old turned doodles into a $100,000 sticker empire —and landed their product in the hands of a K-pop sensation? Buckle up, because this week’s guest is rewriting the rules of small business.

Meet Dylan Chia, Founder of dchtoons, a self-taught artist who went from printing stickers in his bedroom to supplying wholesale orders to K-pop events and viral fame. His secret weapon wasn’t just cute designs—it was a 365-day content challenge that catapulted him into the spotlight.

Learn from this episode:

- How one random K-pop fan sparked a chain reaction that changed his business forever

- The pricing hack that 20X purchases (without customers batting an eye)

- Why booth markets and customer feedback became his unlikely mentors

- The surprising truth about selling directly vs. marketplaces like Shopee—and why he refuses to list there

Don’t miss Dylan’s journey and why he almost opened a mall shop at 21. This is the ultimate underdog story for creators, side-hustlers, and anyone who believes small ideas can spark big revolutions.
