Perhaps your work history does not show one clear career, or a therapist has asked you to connect your past to your present and you find that awkward.

My guest is Frank P. Saunders Jr., a philosopher who works on Chinese thought and who has spent the past couple of years making videos about philosophy and public philosophy. We began with McSt...
