Turning Pain into Purpose: Mel Yu’s Twenties Unfiltered Podcast with BennyGregs

Episode 2 – Mel Yu | Twenties Unfiltered

 

What happens when purpose meets entrepreneurship?

In this episode of 20s Unfiltered, BennyGregs sits down with Mel Yu, a Melbourne-based entrepreneur and mental health advocate whose journey is anything but ordinary. From leaving a six-figure corporate career to building MCO Events and creating Australia’s largest streetwear expo, Ego Expo, Mel has turned personal challenges into a platform for impact.

We dive into how she’s merged business, community, and advocacy—producing large-scale events, mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, and championing mental health awareness. Mel opens up about the highs, the financial setbacks, and the unfiltered lessons behind chasing purpose while building real success.

This isn’t just a story of success—it’s what your twenties can feel like when you embrace challenges, take risks, and grow into the person you’re meant to become.
