Shownotes
Welcome to The Apple Cart; the podcast for creative disruptors, disruptive creators and anyone who wants to do things differently in business. In this episode, your host, Gudrun Lauret, is joined by Jason Willis-Lee.
Jason Willis-Lee is a medical communications specialist with 26 years’ connecting patients, clinicians and researchers through clear, compassionate scientific communication.
He translates Spanish and French medical reports into accessible English and has built an engaged professional community through his niche podcast Freelancer Training on How to Find Direct Clients, where he helps freelance translators transition from low-paying agency work to premium direct relationships.
His approach focuses on premium pricing strategies, B2B relationship development, and helping freelancers escape the "race to the bottom" by targeting specialized pharmaceutical markets rather than merely competing on price.
