MicFront is not a traditional public speaking class; it is a psychology-first education model. Co-founded in 2017 by Mas Mahathir and licensed counsellor Dr Jolynn Ch'ng, the academy operates on the thesis that speaking anxiety is a psychological barrier rather than a mechanical flaw. This distinct curriculum differentiator has proven highly successful commercially, allowing the company to scale rapidly into a multi-vertical education business.



Mahathir and Dr. Jolynn talk to us about how they successfully transitioned the business away from relying solely on founder-driven marketing to build a sustainable network, the specific criteria they look for when selecting franchisees, and the commercial strategy behind their upcoming attempt at the Malaysian Book of Records with a massive 1000-student speaking event.
