Constance Wu waitressed her way through her 30s in Hollywood while trying to book acting gigs. After multiple rejections, she felt crushed.

In this episode, Constance shares:

Why she stopped thinking about results and focused on her craft instead 

The reality behind her tweets about Fresh off the Boat’s renewal

Why she reluctantly came back to social media after three years offline

What she wants people to take away from her book, “Making a Scene”
