If you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur who loves learning but doesn’t always have time to sift through shelves of business books — this festival is for you.

I’ve curated a powerful lineup of the authors behind many of the books that have shaped my journey — and a few I wish I’d discovered sooner.

Each one holds timeless insights, fresh perspectives, and practical ideas to help you grow your business with more clarity, confidence, and impact.

But this isn’t just about listening and learning.

Each episode is paired with a free AI business coach, I've named her Valora, who will help you turn inspiration into action. So you can take what resonates, adapt it to your unique business, and put it to work right away.

Whether you’re looking to refine your message, attract more of the right clients, or grow your business in a way that feels aligned and sustainable — you’ll find something here to support you.

This festival is also part of the lead-up to the launch of my own book, The Art of Value Whispering , coming later this year. Think of it as a warm-up: a celebration of the books that helped shape my thinking, and a way to help you make the most of the ideas that will shape yours.

So dive in, explore the episodes, and let the books (and your AI coach!) guide your next steps.

Get a PHD in You, with Julie Reisler

In this kickoff episode of the Brilliant Business Book Festival, I’m joined by intuitive coach and author Julie Reisler to explore what it truly means to get a PhD in yourself.

‍

Julie opens up about her powerful journey through addiction, burnout, and deep emotional disconnection — and how those dark moments became the foundation of the work she does today.

‍

We talk about the importance of reconnecting with your intuition, releasing shame, and learning to trust yourself from the inside out.

‍

She shares how your biggest challenges can become the source of your greatest purpose — and how aligning with your truth can transform both your life and business.

‍

This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to lead with more self-trust, authenticity, and inner power.

Visit the show notes page here to listen to the episode, access our AI business coach, connect with Julie and grab your copy of Julie’s book.

What is your favourite inspiring read?

I’m a bit of a business book lover, so I’ve created something special for fellow idea-seekers and strategy-lovers — the Brilliant Business Book Festival!

These are inspiring authors whose work has shaped how to lead, sell, grow, and show up in business.

These aren’t your typical self-help reads — they’re full of practical insights, mindset shifts, and real-world tools that can change the way you do business. So now I’m curious…

What’s one business book that’s changed the way you work or think?
