Karen Rinaldi is a mom, a writer, and a surfer. She started riding waves at an older age, which ended up teaching her a lot about life and why it’s great to embrace sucking at something.
As the creator of Harper Wave, she’s been behind the published work of three inspirational people I’ve interviewed in the past: Jaimal Yogis, Mark Lukach, and Stephen Jagger. Karen has also published books by authors like Dave Asprey of the Bulletproof Coffee movement, Dr. Gundry of The Plant Paradox, and Tony Horton of P90X, to name a few. It’s an impressive literary career, to say the least.
As a fan of Karen’s work, I love her stories and the essays she’s written, including one published on this site about motherhood. I also don’t have a lot of mentors that are females, writers, publishers, and surfers, so when I find someone like Karen, I have to share her knowledge. So here we talk about the difference between a good adventure and a great story, how writers get their work published, and the books you should be reading.
