SE01E23 The Infrastructure Nobody Tells You About When Going Solo in Biotech | Suzanne Vyvoda

Moe Choice — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Suzanne Vyvoda spent her entire career in clinical trial operations before a company acquisition forced her hand. 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.
This 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.

Key topics:
why copywriting and marketing matter even in highly technical fields,
the reality of long sales cycles when clients are chasing funding,
how to position disruptive ideas in industries that resist change,
and what it actually takes to bet on yourself when stability matters.

If 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.

SE01E22 Why Most Entrepreneurs Fail at Authenticity (And How Public Speaking Fixes It) | Sebastián Uzcategui

Moe Choice — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Sebastián Uzcategui went from desperate immigrant kid to public speaking agency founder by discovering one truth: authenticity isn't optional anymore. When traditional marketing failed him completely, he stumbled onto a stage with one month left before losing everything. That single speech changed his entire trajectory.

This conversation digs into what separates solopreneurs from entrepreneurs, why most people never find their calling, and how three elements - trust, connection, and authority - can be built in a single moment on stage. Sebastián breaks down the mindset required to become what he calls a "crusader" in business, someone driven by purpose rather than profit.

Key topics:
the real definition of solopreneurship versus entrepreneurship,
why luck isn't random,
the poverty of time versus money,
how to find your calling when you're completely lost,
and why your voice might be the only megaphone you need.

If you've ever felt stuck between what you're doing and what you're meant to do, this episode shows you how to bridge that gap. Sebastian's story proves that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from burning bridges, not building them.
Want to improve your speaking and get positioned on stages? Sebastian is offering a free one-on-one coaching call to help you articulate your message and amplify your voice.

SE01E21 From Pastor to Financial Advisor: Building a Solo Practice After Being Let Go | Caleb Stapp

Moe Choice — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Caleb Stapp never planned to become a financial advisor. As a worship and youth pastor making $30,000 a year with three kids and a fourth on the way, he had no path to homeownership and no way forward. When someone suggested he'd be good at financial planning, he told them it sounded terrible.
But sometimes the paths we resist are exactly where we need to go.

In this conversation, Caleb walks through his journey from ministry to financial services, and eventually to building his own independent practice. He talks about the identity crisis of leaving pastoral work, the strange relief of doubling his income overnight, and the devastation of being let go from a big firm just as he'd gotten comfortable.

What makes Caleb's story compelling is his honesty about the hard parts. The first six months of going solo where he didn't pay himself at all. The year it took to work through the emotional weight of being fired. The constant tension between wanting to create new things and needing to operate a functional business.

He also talks about something many solopreneurs struggle with: how to introduce yourself when your work is more than just a title. Caleb identifies as a shepherd, someone designed to care for and lead groups, but that doesn't fit neatly into networking conversations. So he's learned to start small, state what he does clearly, and then exceed expectations rather than making big promises upfront.

This episode is for anyone navigating an unexpected career transition, anyone building something solo while raising a family, or anyone trying to figure out how to stay focused when the entrepreneurial urge pulls in every direction.

Key things you'll hear in this episode:
Why Caleb initially resisted becoming a financial advisor even though someone close to him saw it clearly
How his income doubled overnight when he left ministry and what that shift meant for his family
The identity crisis of wondering if God had rejected him when pastoral work didn't work out
What it was like to go through a four to five month application process for a job he didn't think he wanted
How being let go from a big firm in 2024 forced him into independence sooner than planned
The first six months of not paying himself and relying on government assistance and savings to survive
Why it took a full year to emotionally process being fired and what finally shifted
The tension between being an entrepreneur who loves creating new things and an operator who needs systems
How he's building a practice capped at 100 clients with a focus on the right people, not explosive growth
Why he introduces himself as a financial advisor upfront even though it sometimes creates hesitation
His belief that pivots, however devastating in the moment, can turn out for the best in the long run

If you're looking for clarity on your finances or want to save money on taxes, Caleb is offering listeners a free 30-minute call that includes a tax return review and a blueprint of your finances. Visit his LinkedIn profile to book.

SE01E20 Building a Business on My Own Terms After Losing Everything | Christy Meaux

Moe Choice — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Christy Meaux spent years building a mortgage career that never felt quite right. She was hitting numbers, following the playbook, and branding herself with someone else's values. Then in one devastating week, she lost her dog and two friends. When she asked her boss for grace, she was told people had been commenting on her negative attitude.

That moment changed everything.

In this conversation, Christy walks through the unraveling of her old life and the intentional rebuilding of a new one. After losing her mother, ending an eight-year relationship, and relocating twice in six months, she made a decision: she would stop fitting into other people's expectations and start building something that actually aligned with who she was.

Christy founded Cohesive Confidence, a business and brand strategy practice focused on helping women entrepreneurs show up with clarity and conviction. She talks about the loneliness of starting over at almost 50, the power of giving yourself permission to pursue what fills you up, and why being selfish about your own path is not only okay but necessary.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they're living someone else's version of success, or anyone who's wondering if it's too late to start over. Christy's story is proof that it's never too late, and that sometimes the worst moments create the clearest path forward.

Key things you'll hear in this episode:
Why Christy calls herself Chief Empowerment Officer and what that title really means to her
The day she realized she was done branding herself with someone else's values
How losing her mother, her relationship, and her home in six months forced her to rebuild from scratch
What it takes to launch a business while grieving and why she chose to do it anyway
The role of in-person connection in building trust when you don't have a big brand behind you
Why she walked away from renewing her mortgage license after holding onto it as a safety net
Her goal of delivering 50 speaking engagements in 2026 and what's driving that vision
How she defines her soul's purpose as a connector and what that looks like in practice
The mindset shift that happens when you stop asking for permission and start trusting yourself
Why selfishness in business isn't a bad thing when it's aligned with helping others get what they want
