Le podcast "Il était une fois l'entrepreneur" est l'ex podcast "l'apprenti", le podcast des histoires d'entrepreneurs. Joanne Rowling est la 1ère écrivaine au monde à devenir milliardaire en moins de 10 ans avec 500 millions d'exemplaires vendus de Harry Potter. Pourtant rien ne prédestinait Jo Rowling à devenir JK Rowling. De sa jeunesse près de Bristol à Tutshill, c'est une jeune fille introvertie et timide qui imagine des histoires. Encouragée par sa mère, Anne Rowling, elle crée des histoires pour sa soeur Dianne, pour ses amis. Tout son monde s'écroule quand à l'âge de 15 ans, sa mère est diagnostiquée d'une sclérose en plaques. Après avoir eu son diplôme en littérature, elle s'installe à Londres comme secrétaire bilingue pour Amnesty International. Mais l'écriture et son désir d'être écrivain ne l'ont pas lâché. Elle écrit durant ses pauses déjeuner. Puis, fatiguée de Londres, elle décide de chercher un logement à Manchester… ce qui lui permet de se rapprocher de sa soeur et de sa mère. Et c'est lors d'un de ses voyages en train entre Londres et Manchester, qu'elle imagine un jeune garçon avec une cicatrice sur le front. Un certain Harry Potter. Après le décès de sa mère en 1990, elle part au Portugal pour noyer son chagrin. Là-bas, elle continue d'écrire les 1ers chapitres de son histoire et rencontre Jorge Arantes avec lequel elle a une fille, Jessica. Mais Jorge est violent et 1 an après, elle revient en Écosse avec sa fille. Commence alors une période compliquée pour Jo Rowling. Elle mange à peine à sa fin et doit vivre avec les aides sociales. Elle continue d'écrire les derniers chapitres de Harry Potter dans le pub de son beau-frère. Dianne la pousse alors à publier son histoire. Après plusieurs refus, elle finit par trouver un agent littéraire, Christopher Little. Mais le manuscrit de Harry Potter n'intéresse personne ! Trop long, trop complexe… C'est la fille du directeur de la maison d'édition, Barry Cunningham qui le convainc de publier. Et c'est un carton quasi instantané ! Les ventes explosent. En 3 ans et 3 livres, L'école des sorciers, La chambre des secrets et Le sorcier d'Azkaban, elle devient un phénomène mondial…. et milliardaire par la même occasion. L'introvertie Jo se retrouve vite dépassée. Inspire Média, le média des histoires d'entreprises et d'entrepreneurs. Notes J. K.
