Featured Interview With Pascha Kelley
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in a small town in Alabama by a close-knit, southern family. We loved to go camping, attended church every time the doors were open, ate good food, and loved University of Alabama sports. When I went to college, I didn’t consider going anywhere else. I majored in Finance and moved to Birmingham to start my career.
For 20 years, I worked for a startup pharmaceutical company that became a multi-million dollar business. Now, I’m a Zig Ziglar speaker and trainer. My book, The Magnetic Advantage, combines Ziglar principles with my experiences in the corporate world.
I live in Birmingham with my husband, Mike. We have a blended family with six kids. My beloved dog, Bryant, is my constant companion.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
It seems like I’ve always loved to read. I imagine that my obsession with books started in middle school. It helps that I grew up during a time when we only had three major TV channels, no internet and there wasn’t a lot to do in our small town. 🙂
As a math gal, I hadn’t planned to be a writer. However, God had different plans. He kept pushing me until I sat down in September 2017 and started writing. As it turns out, I had a lot to share about business!
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genre is motivational / inspiration books. I always strive to be my very best and I’m a natural encourager, so this genre is a natural fit for me. No wonder I turned out to be a motivational speaker! Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer are my two favorite authors in this category.
Business is another favorite genre. Truthfully, I love everything business and enjoy learning all that I can! Zig Ziglar, Jim Collins, and John Maxwell are some of my favorites in this area.
I’m a history buff and enjoy learning about my ancestry, so historical fiction is a favorite genre. The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is my favorite in this category. Nora Roberts is another of my go-to authors.
Sci-fi and paranormal romance are other fiction genres that I enjoy. Molly Harper is my new favorite author in this area. Her books are about supernatural creatures, but they are written with great wit and humor!
