From music school and culinary training to teaching in America and eventually becoming a self-taught photographer, every chapter of his journey was driven by curiosity rather than certainty.\nWe also discuss creative careers, Asian family expectations, freelancing, entrepreneurship, and what it really means to stay busy for the right reasons.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Vgz_eJjObGlOYKp1S3xnSUxO4p-fN9qvsoTy9x9NUtg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lMjZk/YzMzNDIyZGQ3YTRm/Y2Y1OTdjYmRmMzM2/M2QwNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
