Know Your Own Self-Worth: Film Producer ...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

This episode originally aired in February 2022

You may know her from Bling Empire in your Netflix queue, but Kelly Mi Li is anything but a flash-in-the-pan reality star. Her intelligence, drive and grounded approach have made her a wildly successful entrepreneur, most notably as a film and television producer, which predated her foray on camera. Kelly’s love of storytelling has led her to produce everything from scripted series to reality shows, but she finds nothing so fascinating as documentary, viewing little-known stories as some of the most inspirational.

Kelly walks the line between public figure and private citizen, advocating to destigmatize conversations around mental health in Asian communities, and pushing for the inclusion of Asian casts in an era when it’s needed the most.

Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.
