    Ray Pastoors: Working for a bigger purpose

    Ray Pastoors: Working for a bigger purpose A case study from my book, The Art of Bleisure Ray's innovative approach to integrating sustainability into digital marketing and his passion for travel make him an inspiring example of living the bleisure life. We first met during an Oxfam trek in Vietnam, where Ray's dedication to making a positive impact and his entrepreneurial spirit stood out. Since then, he’s supported me in my business in so many ways. His curiosity with work has led him to undertake some fascinating roles in the last few years, least of which was working as a flight attendant for Virgin Australia. I love how Ray see’s work as experience, and although he likes to make money, it’s about so much more for him than that. There’s always a bigger purpose and it’s inspiring. Ray Pastoors is the founder of True Green Hosting, a company that measures and offsets the carbon footprint of websites, promoting sustainability in the digital world. In addition to his work with True Green Hosting, Ray specialises in Google Analytics, helping businesses maximise their online presence. You can read Ray's story in my book, The Art of Bleisure.

    Valerie Khoo: Multi-passionate entrepreneur

    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.

    Ben Southall: Best job in the world

    Ben Southall, Best Job in the World A case study from my book, The Art of Bleisure Sometimes you meet people and they just stick in your mind. Ben Southall is one of those people. Ben Southall is an adventurer and entrepreneur, best known for winning the "Best Job in the World" competition hosted by Tourism Queensland in 2009. This role involved living on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef and promoting it to the world. Since then, Ben has authored a book and founded Best Life Adventures, a company that takes people on unique and challenging travel experiences. We met in the most random way but the synergy of our life paths was wild. It was meeting Ben that sparked my husband and I to find our dream home area, which happens to be the region where Ben lives. His inspiring approach to life and how he manages to continue to travel with his wife and young son has been a guiding light for me these past years, even without being in regular contact. Ben jumped at the chance to reconnect and thankfully leapt at the opportunity, as his life pattern, to be in this book. I don’t think I could have a book on bleisure without his philosophy and approach in it. I love sharing this with you but I can't wait for you to read his case study in my book, The Art of Bleisure.

    It's my birthday & I'm making a wish

    It's my birthday and I'll reflect if I want to! I'm 37 today and so I'm recording an episode. I think it's important to take time each year for reflections and what better milestone then another lap around the sun. And this year, I'm more grateful than ever for the gift that is getting older. I don't groan or moan about aging. I'm thankful. I'm amazed at what's happened in my 37 years and in awe of what more can come. I know that not everyone gets the gift and it's something I will not take for granted. This episode was recorded in the corridor of the hallway of our fabulous hotel in Qatar because my husband and son were sleeping in the room - sometimes, that's what #bleisure is. It's making it work! I'm also making a wish this year ... and that's for YOU to join me in this bleisure life. First step, and the biggest achievement for this year for sure, is my book. You can get your copy at emmalovell.au/book. There's no greater gift to an author than for their words to be read. This is my birthday wish, help me make it come true!
