Suzanne Hopgood: How Being Underestimated Became Her Advantage
From being mistaken for a secretary and told to “get the coffee” to becoming CEO of a New York Stock Exchange company, Suzanne Hopgood’s career is anything but ordinary. In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with Suzanne, author of Get Your Own Coffee: Underestimated, Overlooked, and Now the Boss, to explore how she turned underestimation into strength and built a legacy of resilience and principled leadership.
Suzanne shares: * The three-minute conversation that made her Chairman and CEO of a public company * The “get your own coffee” moment that inspired her book’s title * Why women were once forced to compete for a single seat at the table * How friendship and support networks made her leadership journey possible * Her candid perspective on being “good at getting fired” and how setbacks opened new doors
Along the way, she reflects on her marriage to Frank, her biggest supporter, and the life they built together filled with adventure, laughter, and big dreams. If you’re interested in leadership, resilience, or breaking barriers, this conversation delivers timeless lessons from someone who has lived them.
