The Escapepreneur®
Karen King
Available for podcast interviews, guest articles, speaking engagements, and media features.
Founder of
The Escapepreneur®
and ESC Hub
Karen King is an Australian entrepreneur and full-time international traveller who sold everything in 2015 and has travelled the world since January 2016, building and running location-independent businesses along the way. She is the founder of The Escapepreneur® - a pathway, platform, and community helping online business owners build freedom-based businesses that give them the freedom to choose how they live.
Karen also created ESC Hub, an all-in-one business software platform that replaces up to 20 tools for coaches, solopreneurs, and online business owners - combining CRM, email marketing, funnels, bookings, automations, course delivery, and community in a single platform, backed by daily live coaching and genuine human support.
Her story began in 2014 when burnout and a drawing by her daughter - captioned "my mum's favourite thing to do on the weekend is sleep" - became the turning point that led her to sell everything and leave Australia with her family. Today, she has travelled to 60+ countries while building a business around one belief: life's too short for ordinary when extraordinary is an option.
What Karen speaks to...
Karen brings real-world experience to every conversation. She sold everything in 2015 to build location-independent businesses, has travelled the world since January 2016, visiting 60+ countries, and works daily with online business owners who are stuck, overwhelmed, and ready to build something that actually works. These are the topics she speaks to with authority - not theory.
