Been following her for years and the only reason that keeps me following her is the fact that she is always so grounded and humble. She deserves all the success she is getting now

As an Asian from an immigrant family, I can relate to her so much. From never wanting to be home, to trying to sell anything I could. I grew up watching her and were also the same age. It was great bc I never saw an Asian face growing up and she represented us when nobody else did. She seems like a humble and great person. And I’m happy she has a good relationship with her family. I never had support, I actually cut my whole family off. I’m sorry for the random rant, but thank you for reading.

mai is an icon because she's relatable as hell. she succeeded because of her being vulnerable about her depression, not despite it ♡♡♡♡

The business and legal side of being an influencer is so fascinating. That’s what I love about this podcast is they cover it.
237 |
Hearing her talk about her business model, you can tell she is so intelligent. She deserves all the success she’s gotten and more

I'm only 12 mins in and I'm in AWE at Mai just BEING the atomic habits book person instinctivelly since she was a child, and explaining the concept of embodying the identity of that which you want to become from the book sooooo intelligently 🤯👏

I've never really watched Mai, but I loved hearing her speak towards designing clothes and merch that she was passionate about - right down to the GSM of the fabric! Her passion is palpable. The garmento conversation stole the show for me ❤

She's come so far! I hope judgment call podcast has her on as a guest sometime.

I absolutely love Mai, and I’ve been watching her for probably 10 years. She is amazing.

Damn I’ve watched her for a long time and look at her GROWTH not just as a YouTuber but as a 1st gen Asian female when content creation was barely new. Like insane the hustle mentality and survival instincts she has 🫶🏽❤️ really proud of her

Mai has always had a clear goal, drive, vision and has made every good decision on the way. She has stayed motivated even after achieving her first goals, and dreamed bigger dreams, and then she made more good choices at such a jung age. I hope people understand how unique and intelligent she is. She put in the work, and always pays attention. Good job Mai.

She definitely doesn't lie hahaha and that is an incredible differential for brands. It is also very noticeable when she makes hauls and brands that she loves send her things. She is going to take more time to thank and value the fact that she, as a consumer for years, now receives attention from the brand. I don't know anyone else like that

Never even heard of her before this interview, but the story around her merch company is downright incredible. Really shows how it pays to not compromise on quality. A+ video.

Mai’s honesty and confidence is refreshing (compared to a lot of influencers) Growing up with her and seeing her success gives me motivation and inspiration especially when I’m down
