Ep 051: How dreaming big and taking action can land you that book deal [interview]

The Authority Show

In today’s episode I’m delighted to welcome the very talented and inspiring Jo Wimble Groves, author of RISE OF THE GIRL.

Jo is a tech entrepreneur, a parenting blogger and now author! In this interview she talks about her passion for helping girls put their hand up and how we can raise them to be resilient and confident young women. She shares her own experience of ‘putting her hand up’ aged 16 when she left school to start a company with her brother. Now with nearly 3 decades of experience as an award-winning woman in STEM, a thriving blogging & influencer platform and mother to 3 young children, she’s an absolutely inspiring powerhouse.

She talks about how we met, how the book came to be (and how it ended up being different to her original idea once I got stuck in!) and what the experience of being published by a global publisher like DK has been like. I hope you find listening to her motivating - she really is a brilliant example of staying the course and taking action towards your big dreams.
