"I'm trying to make helpful things. I'm trying to make things that I enjoy making." This week, I spoke with writer and entrepreneur Esme Weijun Wang about her life, her career, and living with chronic mental and physical illness. Esme shared her deep fear of being considered lazy, and she talked about how to craft a career doing the things that she loved.
