In this episode of Mike Helfman’s Curiosity, we explore the mind of Daniel Cerventus Lim — the Super Connector behind TEDxKL and the massive ”Entrepreneurs and Startups in Malaysia” community. From scalping Hello Kitty dolls at age 16 to building the infrastructure for Malaysia’s AI future, Daniel brings decades of insight on community building, tech trends, and the hidden biodiversity of Kuala Lumpur.From the ”jungle in the city” of Bukit Kiara to the ”gold rush” of Artificial Intelligence, Daniel breaks down what it really takes to survive as an entrepreneur today — including why ”vibe coding” is killing the MVP and why he is now buying ”boring” traditional businesses.We discuss the dark psychology of social media addiction, how introverts can master networking, and why otters and crocodiles are returning to the Klang River. If you’re a startup founder, nature lover, or tech optimist, this conversation will hit home.📅 Recording Date: [Insert Date]⸻🔖 #DanielCerventus#MikeHelfmansCuriosity#TEDxKL#Malaysia#Startups#Entrepreneurship#ArtificialIntelligence#VibeCoding#BukitKiara#MentalHealth#SocialMediaAddiction#BusinessAcquisition#CommunityBuilding#NextUpAsia⸻🎧 CHECK OUT THIS PODCAST IN AUDIO Spotify – Mike Helfman’s Curiosity Apple Podcast – Mike Helfman’s Curiosity📲 CONNECT WITH DANIEL CERVENTUS LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cerventus Instagram: @cerventus Website: intch.org/cerventus📲 CHECK US OUT EVERYWHERE Instagram / mikehelfman Twitter / MikeHelfman Facebook / mikehelfman LinkedIn / Michael Helfman📩 BUSINESS ENQUIRIES & COLLABORATION ✉️ [email protected]🎬 TEAM Produced by – Ruth Wilson Das, Mike Helfman, Fahad Fikri Host – Mike Helfman⸻⏱ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 0:00 – Daniel Cerventus joins: Bringing TEDx to Kuala Lumpur 6:24 – The Jungle in the City: Rediscovering lost fireflies in Bukit Kiara 11:15 – Otters and Crocodiles return to Mid Valley 16:22 – The Hello Kitty Scalper: Daniel’s first business at age 16 20:12 – When to exit: Knowing when you are held hostage by your business 30:39 – ”Vibe Coding” & The death of the MVP 43:40 – The AI Gold Rush: Who is selling the shovels? 48:02 – ”Digital Tobacco”: The dark psychology of social media addiction 1:09:59 – Networking for Introverts: How to build influence quietly 1:13:51 – Buying ”Boring” Businesses: The succession fund opportunity 1:18:00 – Wrap-up & where to find Daniel⸻🎯 YouTube TagsDaniel Cerventus, Mike Helfman, Curiosity Podcast, TEDxKL, Malaysia Startups, Entrepreneurs and Startups in Malaysia, Bukit Kiara, AI Malaysia, Vibe Coding, Social Media Addiction, Business Acquisition, Introvert Networking, Tech Entrepreneur, Community Builder, NextUpAsia, Artificial Intelligence, Malaysian Nature, Business Advice, Startup Strategy, Hello Kitty Scalping,
