[#38] From Teen Actor to Media Visionary: Kaleb Laidman’s Journey

At just 10 years old, Kaleb Laidman stepped into the entertainment world as a child actor. By 15, he launched KalKaden Productions, a media company driven by purpose and creativity. Now 23, he's the co-founder of Catch Light Capital, a private credit firm backing projects across the arts and media industries.

In this episode of the Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Kaleb to talk about building a family-run business in a competitive industry, navigating the evolving media landscape, and why he believes the future belongs to creators who lead with values.

• What it takes to grow a production company from the ground up
• How Catch Light Capital is reshaping funding for media and the arts
• Kaleb’s insights on collaboration, risk-taking, and long-term vision
• Why meaningful storytelling still wins — and how to do it right

This is a conversation about grit, growth, and rethinking what it means to lead in the creative world.
