In this episode, I’m joined by Karen Cooke — website creator, business setup adviser, homeschooling parent, and proud van-lifer — to talk about building a business that aligns with your values, not just your bank balance.Karen shares her story of leaving behind the corporate world of London finance and creating a slower, more meaningful life on the road with her family. From simplifying websites for new business owners to slow-travelling across Europe in an American RV, Karen offers a refreshing take on success, sustainability, and starting small. We talk about:Making the leap from conventional careers to unconventional lifestylesWhy she teaches her clients to do it themselves (even if it means less recurring work)The fears and realities of selling up and hitting the roadHow grief and loss shaped her decision to live more boldlyWhat to consider when launching a simple, purpose-led businessThis conversation is full of honesty, warmth, and wisdom — whether you're a solopreneur in startup mode, a freedom-seeker, or someone wondering if there's more to life than 9–5.Contact Karen - https://www.kogdigital.com/schedule-a-meetingContact David - https://www.thesolocoach.co.uk/contact
