Dai Time: The Gen Z Entrepreneur Making Waves in Media

At just 18, Dai Time has already accomplished what many dream of—partnering with Netflix, Disney, and even earning recognition from the White House. But for Dai, success isn’t just about brand deals; it’s about inspiring her generation to take charge, be creative, and break barriers.

With a growing influence in journalism, content creation, and entertainment media, Dai juggles her studies with hosting, producing, and sharing positive messages with her Gen Z audience. In this exclusive feature, she shares her journey from childhood creativity to media powerhouse, the challenges she’s overcome, and her vision for the future.

A Passion for Storytelling & Media

Dai’s journey into media and journalism wasn’t planned—it was fuelled by curiosity.

“I’ve always been a super curious girl, always asking questions and keeping the people around me informed with my latest findings… So it came as no surprise to me when I conducted my first interview and fell in love with the craft of entertainment media.”

Her natural ability to connect with people made her a perfect fit for content creation, and before she knew it, she was building an engaged audience online.

“I honestly only got onto social media to post & chat with my friends. But after many appearances in my friend’s videos, I actually got a lot of support and comments to start posting more regularly. Now, I post several times a week—not just for my friends, but for my global supporters and Generation Z!”

From Student to Businesswoman: Landing Global Brand Deals

Despite still being a student, Dai has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment—Netflix, Disney, and more. While many wonder how she landed these incredible opportunities, Dai credits her passion, consistency, and willingness to step out of her comfort zone.

“Partnerships are always super fun, especially when they’re with brands and companies that I use every single day. I also really enjoy the more fun collaborations that allow me to step outside of my own box and allow for new experiences.”

Her success didn’t go unnoticed. Dai was invited to the White House, where she was honoured as a young entrepreneur and creative—a moment she will never forget.

“Having brunch at the White House was truly an amazing experience I will always cherish. For one, the food was AMAZING! And the ambience was just so powerful—to be in a space with so many inspiring creatives in entertainment. I left feeling very inspired to continue making an impact on my generation.”

Balancing It All: Life as a Young Influencer in LA

Living in Los Angeles, Dai leads a fast-paced life, balancing her education, media work, and influencer career. While every day looks different, she makes sure to stay grounded.

“Some days are more fun-filled, while others are more work-driven. But even amidst all the craziness, I will always find time to have some fun in the mix.”

A big advocate for mental health, Dai ensures she takes breaks and enjoys moments of self-care.

“Taking time for myself is the best form of mental health for me. Typically, it’s playing my favorite video game or going to the spa with my mom. Whatever will completely take my focus away from work, so that when I return, I feel rejuvenated and ready to conquer.”

Dai’s Top Tips for Success

For young creatives and aspiring entrepreneurs, Dai has three key pieces of advice:

✅ Invest in yourself – “Not only is it taking time to do the things that make you happy, but it’s also doing research and finding new ways to better yourself.”

✅ Set goals – “Having a clear blueprint helps keep me focused on my big end goal.”

✅ Appreciate your progress – “Sometimes we get so caught up in the destination that we forget to celebrate how far we’ve already come.”

What’s Next for Dai Time?

The future is bright for Dai as she continues to grow her career in media. One of her biggest goals is to host her own show, following in the footsteps of her inspirations, Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah.

“I hope to inspire my peers to go out and be strong creative forces, and to drive for the change they want to see within their prospective fields.”
