Here\\u2019s to the professional drifters. HK media fixture Lawrence Cheng has come a long way over four decades in radio, TV, film and online \\u2013 and he\\u2019s proud to say little of it was planned. He talks to daughter Zaneta, writer and stylist, about the blueprint for a fulfilling creative career. Turns out it may mean tossing the blueprint altogether.

As a rookie radio DJ in the 80s, Cheng learned a lot on the graveyard shift \\u2013 but the lesson that stuck came in a note from a disgruntled listener: \\u201cIf you don\\u2019t like your job, please don\\u2019t do it.\\u201d Following his inspirations and playing to his strengths have helped Cheng hop between lily pads \\u2013 from radio success with The Three Fairies and his breakout TV crossover The Yuppie Fantasia \\u2013 to streaming a Sam Hui concert to a locked-down world on his YouTube channel.

The key to longevity? Embracing new platforms and learning from the next generation of creators. One of those is Zaneta, whose journey from poli-sci student to editorial staff on the style and culture beat was partly inspired by her dad\\u2019s playful attitude to fashion.

Join this happy-go-lucky duo as they discuss comfort vs. courage, and the importance of not allowing setbacks - or successes - dampen your hunger to keep growing.
