With no IT department to call, no safety net, and a family to support, she had to figure out what most people planning to go solo in 10 years never consider: the infrastructure that holds it all together.\nThis conversation cuts through the polished solopreneur narrative to reveal what really happens when you're suddenly on your own in a technical field. Suzanne breaks down the difference between being a solopreneur versus an entrepreneur, why she rates herself a five out of ten on the commitment scale, and the honest truth about whether she'd go back to corporate if the right role appeared.\nKey topics: \nwhy copywriting and marketing matter even in highly technical fields, \nthe reality of long sales cycles when clients are chasing funding, \nhow to position disruptive ideas in industries that resist change, \nand what it actually takes to bet on yourself when stability matters.\nIf you're in biotech, pharma, or any technical field thinking about going fractional or consultant, this episode shows you the operational realities most people discover too late. Suzanne's candid about what's working, what she's still figuring out, and why the fifth grade language test matters more than technical jargon.\nWant to learn more about clinical trials and how medicines reach the market?
