Darbie Kim Estrebilla, better known as Real Talk Darbs, has become a familiar face in the digital space—known for mixing humor, marketing savvy, and candid life advice that resonates with millions.
Before the billion views and five million followers, Darbie was an overseas Filipino worker chasing dreams. Now, he’s a self-made video marketing coach whose authenticity and wit drive his success. His secret? Keeping it real.
In every video, whether dropping marketing insights or hugot lines like “Focus on the seminar first. Don’t text them yet—they’ll just hurt you anyway,” Darbie connects with audiences because he talks like a friend who’s been there. That relatability has turned casual viewers into loyal fans—and clients.
Beyond the screen, Darbie is a strategist. He once sold a pen for ₱70,000—not for its material worth, but through storytelling and branding. The proceeds went to charity, but the lesson was priceless: it’s not the product, but how you market it.
His journey wasn’t without setbacks. From tackling online bashers to reinventing his content, Darbie learned that staying relevant means evolving. He pivoted from love advice to tackling social issues, until finding his niche in video marketing. Today, he helps entrepreneurs shatter limiting beliefs—teaching that success isn’t about hefty capital or mainstream exposure but about knowing how to tell your story.
Despite his vibrant online persona, Darbie calls himself an introvert at heart, recharging in silence before stepping back into the spotlight. Little known fact? He’s also a serious gamer who once considered going pro in e-sports.
Now, Darbie’s taking Real Talk Darbs to the next level. Plans are in motion for a 336-square-meter House Creatives HQ, new training programs, and a massive 3,000-person live event by year-end—all aimed at empowering Filipino entrepreneurs through video marketing.
His ultimate mission? “To help Filipino entrepreneurs become billionaires through the power of video,” he says.
For Darbie, the hustle continues—and the best is yet to come.
