Passion Chats

“Love and Challenge” with Great British Bake Off’s Val Stones

Passion Collective Episode 14

Discovering and pursuing our passions can sometimes take work, and that can hold us back from starting what could be a life changing experience. After a long day, it can be hard to pick up the hobby we’ve been meaning to get to or work on our business idea. 


In this episode, Val Stones shares her story with our host, Laura Best, and talks about how as a grandparent and semi-retired headteacher, she participated in the Great British Bake Off—the hugely successful TV show that pulled in up to 15 million viewers per episode during her season!


In this Chat, you’ll hear Val talk about:

  • her lifelong passion for baking
  • how she approached the heavy workload involved in being part of one of the world’s most popular TV shows
  • her working relationship with Paul Hollywood (!)
  • her philosophy on why we should always choose the more challenging path in life.


So, cut yourself a slice of cake, pour a cup of tea and enjoy the conversation!
