- Today’s guest will likely be a familiar face - Steven Lim is known for his work as a co-host of Buzzfeed’s “Worth It” series and for being a co-founder/CEO of Watcher Entertainment. But before that, he was just a kid from Ohio, who went from being a chemical engineer to the creator and AAPI community advocate we know him as today! And with the launch of his new food show Travel Season, there’s sure to be even more exciting things in store. We’re so excited to get a deep dive into Steven’s journey as a creative, Watcher’s exciting future, and how he sees food & travel as a way of creating cultural connections.

What a great episode. Loved getting to hear about how Steven pursued his career and his respect for his wife when he met her had him pursue her. It's beautiful and inspiring
Steven Lim!! Love what Steven, Ryan, and Shane have created with Watcher. I love Puppet History and Dish Granted! 😊
Yes! Please have his wife come on to so they can talk about their love story! Like, how long was it until they reconnected again? Or how did the aaking and her saying yes go? Or what were her feelings during the first meet-up till she finally said she'd date him? (:
Can't wait!
Steven should come back with Tammy. I want to hear about their relationship from both sides 😊
what a great surprise Steven Lim❤❤❤🎉
What an excellent episode! I loved learning more about Steven's background and creative journey, and hearing directly from him in a bit more detail about the decision to launch WatcherTV. Here's hoping Watcher continues to go from strength to strength.
STEVEN LIM! That dude is awesome ❤
best episode yet!! steven lim ftw
That intro was so crazy, I skipped right to that part
Omg Steven! My partner and I love Worth It! It was such a shocker one day when we saw Steven peep into a restaurant we were eating in at Isetan, 1 Utama back in KL! And we were like??? Is that Steven? He was nice enough to oblige us with a photo:) wishing you all the best!! Thanks ABG for this episode !!
