Summary

Valerie Khoo: Multi-passionate entrepreneur A case study from my book, The Art of Bleisure Valerie Khoo shared in her book, Power Stories: The 8 Stories You MUST Tell to Build an Epic Business, that Jon Bon Jovi was that celebrity for her and she got to interview him during her magazine career. When I met Valerie in 2012 at the Melbourne Writer’s Group run by Sandi O …, I said to her “you are my Bon Jovi”. I don’t really look up to celebrities and entertainers as much as I admire and respect business leaders. Valerie is an incredible writer, entrepreneur and mentor. Even through her books and words, without meeting her - you can gain so much. I’m delighted to now call her a friend and to be able to have incredible conversations about things we both love - business and travel. To have read your business hero’s book and now have them in your book, that is mind blowing. I’m crying as I type this because 12 years ago, I could not have imagined this moment. I know you’ll get so much value from this interview - just as I have over the years. Valerie does business her way and has led the path for entrepreneurs like me - inspiration central! Valerie is CEO of the Australian Writers' Centre. She is also an artist who paints large-scale floral artworks. She hosts the top-rating podcast So You Want to Be a Writer and is author of several books including Power Stories: The 8 Stories You MUST Tell to Build an Epic Business.
