About this listen

How Did We Get Here is a podcast for the everyday seeker navigating the messy reality of personal growth. In a world obsessed with CEOs and overnight success, we turn the spotlight back on the human experience. Through raw, honest conversations, we explore the turning points, the internal struggles, and the rapid changes in the world around us that shape who we are today.

We believe that the most powerful lessons don't come from a boardroom, but from the real-life pivots we all make as the world evolves. While we are currently recording in-studio, our mission is to take these conversations to the streets—capturing the voices of the "everyday hero" and the growth that happens when no one is watching. Join us as we figure out how we got here—and where we’re growing next.

  • How Do We Get Here: Physical Health VS Mental Health
    Jan 30 2026

    How did the struggle of the "everyday person" shift from the muscles to the mind? In this episode, we explore the generational evolution of hardship. We look back at the older generation, whose growth was defined by grueling physical labor and the tangible toll it took on their bodies. From the fields to the factories, their resilience was measured in sweat and physical endurance.

    As the world has changed around us, we discuss how that burden has moved inward. For the current generation, the struggle is often "invisible"—navigating the complexities of mental health, burnout, and the psychological pressures of a digital, fast-paced world. Join us as we compare these two eras of survival, discuss the "silent" struggles of today, and ask: how do we honor the physical grit of our past while learning to heal the mental weight of our present?

    If you know someone who is going through a difficult time, we implore you to extend a helping hand. Assistance is available through Talian Kasih at 15999 or Befrienders at 03-76272929. #YourLifeMatters”

  • How Did We Get Here: From Big Screen to the Small Screen
    Jan 9 2026

    Why spend RM30 on a movie ticket when you can binge a whole series from your couch? This week, Isaac and Mal dive into the evolution of how we consume stories. We’re breaking down the shift from the "Big Screen" event to the "Small Screen" convenience—and how this change reflects our modern struggle for time, comfort, and a world that’s increasingly moving indoors.

  • How Did We Get Here : The Internet for WHO?
    Jan 23 2026

    How did a tool designed for connection become a world we can sometimes get lost in? In this episode, we trace the massive journey of the internet—exploring how it has evolved from the early days of social connection to the giant library of YouTube, and even into the hidden corners of the Dark Web. We look at how the internet has gone from a "hobby" to the very air we breathe, changing the way we perceive reality and each other.

    As we navigate this digital shift, we discuss the dual nature of growth in the online age. We talk about the internet as a space for ultimate empowerment , but also as a place where the "human" can easily get overwhelmed. From the highlight reels of social media to the unfiltered depths of the web, we ask: How do we maintain our personal development and stay grounded in a world that never sleeps?
