Ever had one of those days where everything goes wrong? That was me a few weeks when I realized – with a sinking heart – that I hadn’t hit the record button after a brilliant interview with my guest, Jason Willis-Lee. Fortunately, he graciously agreed to a redo, and I’m thrilled because his journey from studying medicine to becoming a thriving freelance medical translator is full of insights. If you’ve ever wondered about niching down, adapting to AI, or growing a freelance business, Jason’s got answers for you.

Jason Willis-Lee has been a professional medical translator for over 20 years, working with clients across the globe. Not only does he have a strong background in life sciences, but he’s also transitioned into mentoring other translators looking to build their businesses. His wealth of experience makes him the perfect guide for anyone interested in building a successful translation career.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT
How Jason pivoted from studying medicine to becoming a full-time translator and why niching down was a game-changer for him.
The real impact of AI on the translation industry and how freelancers can leverage it instead of fearing it.
Why working in-house before going freelance might be the smartest move for new translators.
How to build your portfolio and attract clients even without a website.
The importance of leveraging cultural nuances and why spending time in your source language country is crucial.
Jason’s advice on handling imposter syndrome and how to avoid the “jack of all trades” trap.
