Cowards Don't Go to Heaven: Eugene Cheong's message to young creatives

July 16, 2026·45 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Legendary copywriter and creative director - Ogilvy APAC's long-serving chief creative officer - has entered his experienced-statesman era as an adman. His new book, Cowards Don't Go to Heaven, distills a life of creative understanding into a coffee-table book of handwritten (and illustrated) aphorisms and invective. He tells The Drum Podcast why a little anger is necessary for creative growth, how being "openly Christian" has shaped his creative practice, and how he went from failing his O-Level in English to being one of the most-awarded copywriters in the world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
