Put up your bat signal: Tristan Lombard on solopreneurship, community, and career reinvention - Into the MoTaverse - Episode 17
Tristan Lombard, marketer, community builder, ghost author, and self-described Stage Mom, joins Rosie Sherry to talk about one of the most pressing questions in tech right now: what do you do when the traditional career path stops working for you?
Drawing on three years of solopreneurship and a decade of community-building before that, Tristan makes a compelling, data-backed, and deeply human case for going it alone, particularly for quality engineers whose roles are shifting under the pressure of AI and ongoing layoffs.
This episode is less about theory and more about the practical stuff: how to identify what you're actually known for, how to build a brand of value (not a personal brand) on LinkedIn, how to approach DMs without being predatory, how to price your work, and how to protect your energy when clients push past the boundaries of your SOW.
Tristan brings the warmth, the receipts, and the occasional sharp word for life coaches who slide into DMs uninvited.
