Self, Made "Episode 8: How to Own the Room You Just Walked Into"
What’s it like to keep walking into rooms you don’t quite belong in and leaving them as your own?
Delbert Ty’s career has spanned P&G, startups, dating apps, and now AI. Along the way, he’s handed out flyers on the street, pulled off “doodle installations,” rebuilt a martech stack without engineering, and walked away from safe roles to keep reinventing himself. The second season of Self, Made kicks off in this episode about reinvention, scrappiness, and the messy middles that come with betting on yourself.
Culture in Dialogue in Manila
Culture in Dialogue is SAYA’s flagship conversation series, where industry leaders, creative pioneers, and marketing execs break down the forces shaping cultural and commercial intelligence. More than a panel, it’s a space to take a step back, look at the bigger picture, and unpack how culture and commerce fuel the next wave of innovation.
In Good Company: How Big Can It Be?
Conference season has its rituals. For marketing, it’s the familiar circuit: panels on performance vs brand, debates about AI, strategies for the next quarter. I’ve been in those rooms before. They’re valuable, but also predictable. This time, I veered into a different orbit — web3.
The rooms looked and felt different. There were Crocs sandals everywhere. The jargon was heavier, the lights were brighter. And yet, under the surface, the themes weren’t so far away: how we create, how we connect, how we move value.

In this episode of Self, Made, SAYA’s co-founder Michelle Koh, finds out what we risk, reclaim, and reveal when we put something of ourselves into the world. And about the way voice becomes both a microphone for what we believe, and a mirror for what we’re still learning to see.
Curveballs: The Ache to Do More
What’s the moment when ambition turns into exhaustion? When the drive that once fueled you starts to ache instead...an ache for impact, for meaning, for relief. You keep building, refining, showing up, but the world feels heavier, noisier, harder to love. Maybe that’s the cost of caring too much. Or maybe it’s just the curveball of trying to do good while everything burns.

Self, Made "Episode 7: If the Shoe No Longer Fits..."
In this episode of Self, Made, SAYA co-founder Nathalie D Ramirez sits down with Rachael Wheeler – Creative Director and MD at The Smalls – and Property NXT co-founder Cilla Burgmann to talk about what happens when the lives we’ve built no longer fit who we are. They explore the often-overlooked transitions: the quiet unraveling of identity after a layoff, the tension between creative leadership and commercial responsibility, and the inner conflict of knowing when to stay versus when to walk away. This is a conversation about self-worth beyond job titles, ambition redefined by motherhood, and the courage to admit when the metaphorical shoe just doesn’t fit anymore. Honest, nuanced, and unscripted.
