Today's guest is Hannah Olson. Hannah was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2015.

Frustrated by a feeling that her chronic illness was incompatible with her career goals, Hannah founded Chronically Capable, a company that connects chronically ill people with legitimate flexible work opportunities.

Additionally, she works as a National Lyme Ambassador and a workplace inclusion speaker, advocating for the chronically ill community.

Topics covered include:

• The story of Hannah's Lyme diagnosis and how it impacted on her burgeoning career
• How the idea of Chronically Capable came about
• The immediate response when the website was launched, including press interest
• How it compares to established remote-work web recruitment sites like Upwork
• The kind of positions which are available through Chronically Capable
