Malaya Publishing exists for one reason: to help Filipino business owners win back the freedom they started their business for, so they can actually live the life that freedom is supposed to buy. That's not a slogan for us. It's the names of our two daughters.
I was the SEO manager for an Australian agency. Good work, good clients. But when I found out I was pregnant with our firstborn, something became very clear to me.
Every hour I gave that agency was an hour I was trading away, and the asset I was building with those hours would never be mine. It would be theirs. I was pouring my best years into someone else's business, and I would never get that time back with my daughter.
So I made a decision. I would build my own. I would have my own clients, on my own terms, with my own time. That was the beginning of Malaya Publishing.
We named our two daughters for the thing we believe every business owner deserves, in the order you get there.
Our firstborn. And the promise we make: a business that runs without you, so you get your time and your freedom back.
Our second. And the point of it all. Freedom isn't the finish line. It's what lets you live a joyful, full life with the people you love.
Win back your freedom, and happiness is what you do with it. That's the whole idea, and it's why we do this.
Malaya is built by a husband and wife. One of us brings the heart and the roots. The other brings a decade of systems that built businesses worth millions. Together, that's the whole offer.
Filipino, a mother of two, and the reason Malaya is built for the Philippines. She started this company to reclaim her own time, and now leads the mission to give that same freedom to fellow Filipino owners.
They built something real. Our job is to hand them the freedom to enjoy it.
Daryl spent his first decade building bestbusinesscoach.ca and a long-running business podcast, building marketing and automation systems for clients across the West, including Michael Gerber, the author of The E-Myth, and NeuroGym.
When he moved to the Philippines, he committed fully to Malaya and to one mission: helping build multi-billion-peso Filipino businesses. A bestselling author who has built real businesses from the ground up, now doing it here, at home.
Between us, we bring more than 30 years of combined experience, and we've each served hundreds of companies. We were early to the AI shift and we stay ahead of every change in search and digital marketing, not for the novelty, but because it's how we get our clients results.
For years we helped companies abroad. Now we want to give that back to where we come from. Malaya is for the Filipino owner who did the hard thing, built a real business, and deserves to enjoy the freedom it was supposed to bring.
We know what it's like to trade your hours for something that isn't yours. We refuse to let your business cost you your life. Start with a free Growth Audit, and we'll show you exactly where to begin.
