As a B2B Copywriter, John Espirian is a specialist in the written word. John tells The Industry Leaders how he went from Quality Assurance to Copywriting, and what the best advice he's ever received is.
How did you end up sitting where you are today?
I used to be a quality assurance manager and went solo as a technical copywriter in 2009.

Pick one place and commit to being known there.
What, or who inspires you?

How do you keep up to speed with what's happening in your industry?
Audiobooks and podcasts, as well as discussions on LinkedIn and Clubhouse.
What was the most challenging project or situation you've overcome?
Anything with a bad client brief. These lead to confusion and frustration, always.
You finish work today and step outside the office to find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do?
Help people get equal access to economic opportunity.
How do you switch off after a day at work?
Playing with the puppy! Or a good film.
