A successful podcast entrepreneur, as well as the founder and CEO of Ginni Media — a podcast strategy and creation company that serves both big-ticket clients and fledgling entrepreneurs with quality audio strategy, monetization, community building, and production tips — Ginni Saraswati, is the audio authority. After all, Saraswati, who has hosted a few morning radio shows, has embraced audio since….what? Radio?! Saraswati shares her journey from Sri Lanka to Australia to the U.S. and details her experiences in radio and podcasting. She also discusses the challenges she faced with racial intolerance and what it was like to come out as queer to her traditional family. Not for nothing, but Saraswati is keen on all creators staying true to their values — and preaches the power of authenticity in business. With characteristic authenticity, she recalls the business idea that failed and how she learned invaluable lessons from her mistakes as an entrepreneur. Listen to Saraswati delve into gender imbalance in podcasting as she speaks about being a woman in a male-dominated industry — and stick around for her tips for women looking to pursue their business dreams, on this episode of SheVentures Podcast. Highlights: Saraswati talks about radio and podcasting, her passions for more than a decade, producing award-winning content focused on pop culture, music, entertainment, and the LGBTQ+ community. What it was like to interview celebrities like Paula Abdul and be the host of two-morning radio shows in Melbourne, Australia As a Sri Lankan immigrant to Australia, Saraswati speaks about her cultural acclimation.  Entrepreneurship involves personal and professional transformations, including overcoming fear, reckoning with imposter syndrome, and learning to delegate tasks. Saraswati recalls coming out — and how she found support in the LGBTQ+ community. Facing discrimination and stigma, Saraswati found solace in the community and used her platform to amplify voices. Saraswati discusses the gender imbalance in podcasting and content creation and attributes it partly to obstacles and judgment women face. Representation is crucial in podcasting, and Saraswati's journey shows how important it is to amplify diverse voices. A failed event business, Blink, taught Saraswati that having a greater purpose is essential for success. She started Ginni Media as a side hustle and won five clients before quitting her day job. Today, her client roster includes Cynthia Rowley, Allure, Siemens, and many entrepreneurs. Saraswati faced numerous challenges in her entrepreneurial journey, including losing all her money. Ginni Media grows through referral clients, prioritizing quality over quick growth. Reviewing how podcasts can be monetized — and how to decide what is right for you Saraswati encourages people to reach out to her on Instagram at @ginnimedia or @theginnishow

Sri-Lanka born, Australia raised Ginni has had quite the diverse career path. She had a broadcast radio show in Australia for years, she worked on airplanes, she started her own podcast, and currently she owns a podcast producing company that produces nearly 100 shows each year. And now, she's here to help.  In today's episode, we sit down with Ginni Saraswati, founder and CEO of Ginni Media, the go-to all-in-one shop for podcast producing. She shares why she moved across the world with only five clients when she went full-time with her podcasting company, she gives tips for starting a podcast, she tells us about the exciting new original shows she's producing, and so much more.  “So I came to America with five clients, all based in the East Coast. And I thought, ‘Okay, what could change if I go all in?' and I quickly found out that a lot changed when I went all in. And the company, we started off with five clients, and now we're up to over 80 that we've produced or currently produce for throughout the year. But we've launched over 300 podcasts. So it's been quite a journey.” - Ginni Saraswati This week on Startups in Stilettos: Ginni shares what caused her to start Ginni Media (1:42) Ginni talks about how she knew it was the right time to go full-time (4:39) When Ginni decided to invest in herself and a business coach (12:09) Ginni gives advice for starting a podcast (16:58) Ginni asks Stephanie three questions (20:34) Ginni shares how the Entreprenista League has helped her business (27:04) Ginni talks about the podcasting event she's hosting for the Entreprenista League (27:56) Ginni gives a taste of the exciting things coming to Ginni Media in the coming year (28:52) Resources Mentioned: Asana Monday.com Tadam Our Favorite Quotes: “I was doing podcasting as a side hustle while I was building airplanes.” - Ginni Saraswati  “A lot of brown culture is predicated on what people think and ‘what will they think?' But I'm like, Well, we know what people think I'm just gonna keep walking forward, like, ‘what else can you do at this point?'” - Ginni Saraswati  “What we forget about with audio media, or podcasting is just how intimate it is. Unlike video or reading or text or anything like that you're literally in someone's ear. So the impact or the influence is greater.” - Ginni Saraswati Connect with Ginni Saraswati: GinniMedia.com Ginni Media on Instagram Ginni Media on LinkedIn Connect with your Startups in Stilettos hosts: Stephanie Cartin on Instagram Stephanie Cartin on LinkedIn Jessica Abo on Instagram Jessica Abo on LinkedIn Learn more about Jessica Abo here Get Featured on Startups in Stilettos Want a chance to be featured on Startups in Stilettos?

If every time you wake up, you think, "ugh, I have to go to work," that's the energy you'll carry throughout your day and the rest of the week. Life becomes less and less enjoyable, all you do is wait for the weekend to come, which seems like a tiny spark of hope from far until it's there, and you spend it recovering yourself. How would you know when is enough? How would you recognize you ARE enough and HAVE what it takes to enjoy life? In this episode, I'm joined by a goddess, my mentor, and the reason why I got into podcasting, Ginni Saraswati. Ginni is an Award-Winning Journalist, Podcast Producer, Content Creator Specialist, and Host of the Ginni Show podcast.

She shared her experiences in the 9 to 5 world, why she jumped into entrepreneurship, and how she managed to build a consistent culture at Ginni Media, an utterly remote work environment. Plus, we talk about the not-enoughness feeling, why this feeling is particularly cruel to women, the importance of giving ourselves permission to rest, and much more.

Grand Rising my friends, on this Sunday. I'm currently hurled up in the Australian Capital Territory about to walk into my best friend's baby's baptism. Now I've been given one job today and it goes a little like this….Yep, I can just hear my best friend inside….This week's PodReview is a reflection on content. For the first time in 9 years, Podcasting hasn't grown in audience numbers. So it's got me thinking. Now is a good a time as ever to get super intentional about your content. Now I can hear my creatives in the background moaning and groaning…. But really, this is an opportune time for everyone to really think about the content they are putting out. What are some conversations you can share on your podcast that will connect with a listener? How long does this conversation need to be? Really think about it. We've had nearly two and half years of solid information overload - so what are some ways this may have effected your audiences? Now's the time to chuck on the lab coat and start experimenting.There you have it my friends! I'm Ginni Saraswati and that's this week's PodReview. Cheerio! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to this weekend's Pod Ponder. I'm Ginni Saraswati, [echo sound effect] expanding your mind and [possible cave/spelunking sound effect? along these lines] exploring your brain.It's Saturday once again my friends, which can only mean one thing: it's time to challenge your perceptions, think outside the box and—well… ask you a really offbeat question!Picture it: You've just awoken on a beautiful spring morning, the sun is shining, and it's time for you to go off to your office job… where you'll spend the next 8 hours behind a computer, inside a cubicle.If you're anything like me, you've probably had this exact experience many times over. In fact, maybe you're having it right now.But imagine: instead of experiencing a bland 9-5, you enter the building at 9 only to find yourself immediately back in the parking lot at 5—with seemingly no time having passed at all. [record scratch] Somehow, you've skipped the actual work experience. For our ponder this week, we're drawing inspiration from Apple TV's new dark comedy Severance, which lampoons modern corporate culture.On the show, workers undergo a voluntary procedure in order to surgically sever their brains into two sections: one for personal life and one for work life, allowing the employee's outside brain to live a blissfully work free life, while subjecting the inside brain to an endless cycle of drudgery without respite. So, what say you, ponderers? If you could, would you undergo this so-called “severance” if you never had to experience work again?Well, that does it for this week. Remember to tune in next Saturday and join me for another round! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's Pod Review, sooooo many things have been happening in podcasting, news and media that all of it kind of felt a little like a slap in the face.Listen, the incident I'm referring to has gotten enough attention, so I WILL not refer to it, but let's just say, that was a moment that most certainly did not Rock. To PodNews this week, The Weebys have decided to do their own thing when it comes to podcast awards. That's right. Last week, and only a week after The Ambies (aka The Podcast Academy), The Weeby's launched The Signal Awards, set to take place in Jan 2023.Popular company Rode are now producing their own headphones to add to their audio / audible yet not edible products.And the latest Edison Research report on the key statistics in podcasting for 2022 were released just over a week ago. And, the key takeaway here is: For the first time in 9 years, podcasting didn't grow. So what does this mean for us podcasters, pod-crazed and producing folk? There are two demographics that are currently underserved in podcasting. Listeners aged 12-34 and 55 and over. Senior Vice President of Strategy and Marketing at Edison Research, Tom Webster says that the industry will “only keep growing if the entire industry makes a concerted effort to tell the story of podcasting to all Americans.” So podpoppers, we must continue to review our content and see where our shows can serve the needs and interests of these audiences.I'm Ginni Saraswati and that's this week's PodReview. Until tomorrow, Cheerio! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to this weekend's Pod Ponder. I'm Ginni Saraswati, expanding your mind and exploring your brain.Happy Saturday, dear listeners. It's that time again for some mental calisthenics! This week's ponderous ponder begins on November 24, 1971. A well dressed man in a suit and tie boards Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305 in Portland, Oregon enroute to Seattle. He takes his seat, orders a bourbon and soda and, shortly after takeoff, hands a flight attendant a note indicating that he has in his possession a bomb and intends to hijack the plane. He demands $200,000 in US currency and four parachutes.Eventually, his demands are met, no passengers are harmed, and the man—soon to be infamous as D.B. Cooper—disappears from an airborne plane into the night, never to be seen again. A very strange story, indeed. And one that remains unsolved to this day!So, dear listeners, I ask you: if you could solve any one unanswered question from all of history, which would you choose? Maybe the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity? The Bermuda Triangle? Perhaps even the death of Edgar Allen Poe?Well, I don't know about you, but I think it's time to turn some lights on around here and focus on something a little less… creepy...That does it for this week. Remember to tune in next Saturday and join me for another round! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's that sound? Can you hear it??There's just something about hearing laughter that puts a smile on your face, am I right? It's Ginni Saraswati here with your Podspot All-stars for the week. And if you haven't already figured it out, this week, we're looking into what's making the people of planet Earth laugh.Across the globe, people are laughing at Smartless, the podcast starring Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. The trio snagged the top pod spot last week in the comedy category for their silly improv antics. What makes the show different is how the hosts take turns bringing on a “mystery guest”. So it's only when they hit “record” that the other 2 hosts learn who they're talking to. The show has featured guests like actress Cate Blanchett, musicians Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, and Jon Hamm of Madmen fame.So if you're looking for a way to add more giggles to your week, tune into Smartless and find out what the funny fuss is all about. Until next time…. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join the very funny and enlightened Ginni Saraswati as she gives you practical tips on how to go for your real-life dreams. She empowers you to take that leap and walk through your fears with specific tools and practical advice to tackle what's holding you back. Who you should talk to (and not!). Ginni reminds you that everything begins with inner knowledge and how to tap into yours. Listen to Ginni Saraswati, CEO and founder of Ginni Media and host of an award-winning podcast about life as a gay Sri Lankan-born woman growing up in Australia get real with Lauren in this engaging episode. Remember, it's never too late to live your purpose and do what lights you up, and create extraordinary things.

Hey, hey, hey! It's Ginni Saraswati here with your daily dose of Podnews. Did you know there was a time before Happy Meals? Yes, it's true. Those were the culinary dark ages for kids everywhere…forced to stare at lackluster plates, pushing peas around their plates with forks, and no toy rewards tucked into the depths of playful boxes. Boooooring…..Well, it seems podcasting too, has finally begun packaging audio for young ears. In the past 2 years, podcasts in the kids and family category have seen a 20 percent increase in listenership according to Edison Research. The famous PBS Cartoon Arthur ended a 25-year run in February, but was quickly scooped up and resurrected as a podcast by Gen-Z Media this year. The Ambie's added, for the first time, an award category for Best Kid's Podcast, which featured kid-approved favorites Nice to Meet You and The Big Fib. Heavy hitter studios like Warner Bros, Spotify, and Wondery are also growing their younger audiences with youth-oriented shows. So, if you're looking for creative ways to entertain the kiddos but you'd prefer to skip the screentime, opt for fine-tuning their listening skills with a few family-friendly podcasts.For this week, that's all, folks! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to this weekend's Pod Ponder. I'm Ginni Saraswati, expanding your mind and exploring your brain.Happy Saturday, dear listeners. It's that time, once again, for a stroll through your psyche and into the world of the offbeat.Our ponder this week draws its inspiration from podcasting's reigning ratings champion: true crime. If you were sitting on death row—remember, this is all hypothetical!—and given your choice of a last meal, what would you choose? I'll be extra generous and allow you your choice of any food or beverage you've ever eaten or drank. Personally, I like to use this as an icebreaker at parties—you get to learn a lot about a person through their food preferences… so long as they're not scared away by the question!So, listener, what would you choose? A chocolate malt from your childhood ice cream parlor? A bottle of the fancy champagne you had on your honeymoon? Maybe just a good, old fashioned Taco Bell bean burrito… No judgment here!Hmmm… is it just me, or is anyone else getting a little peckish? Thanks for joining us this week and please excuse me while I go grab a snack…Join me next Saturday for another round! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She sells seashells by the seashoreYou know New York, you need New York, you know you need unique New YorkIf a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?Hey, it's Ginni and welcome to a new week of Peter Pipers pickled PopPoppin, pepper tips! That little sneak peek into my pre-recording routine which seems like a well-written and very subtle transition into our audio tip for today! Of course, it's warm up your voice!It shouldn't surprise you that recording a podcast episode requires a bit of talking. Rather than going into your session after rolling out of bed, warm up your mouth by practicing your script or saying a few tongue twisters. Properly warming up will improve your dictation, articulation and keep you from stumbling over words. Eddie edited itCan you can a can as a canner can can a can?Whatever wibbly-wobbly words help to get the tongue muscles warm, save yourself from embarrassment and be sure to do them before you start recording. Come back tomorrow for the latest news in the Podverse, and come back next week for more advice on perfecting the art of the perfect podcast! I'm Ginni Saraswati, and this is PodPops!

Low-code was not built as a full replacement hard coding. In fact, in most cases, it complements it by accelerating the software development process. It therefore shouldn't be viewed as the answer to everything even though it's a perfect answer for many scenarios. The challenge is identifying which these scenarios are and proving that it is actually effective for them. That's why testing out a low-code platform by building a minimum viable product is important before making a decision on whether to adopt it.In this last of six episodes investigating low-code myths, the host Michael Boland is joined by two guests: Isaac Sacolick – founder and President of StarCIO, a company that helps organizations adopt digital transformation – and a low-code curious, Ginni Saraswati.Today, you'll learn about the questions you need to ask before determining whether low-code is the right solution.

In safety-sensitive industries such as aerospace, management needs to keep detailed logs of all their processes. This makes the industry very cautious when adopting any changes. They don't just run towards the next flashy innovation before thoroughly understanding what its impact on their compliance is.They want efficient systems that are consistent and enable them to remain audit-ready. That's where low-code comes in. With just some minor changes in what team members do, it is able to deliver tremendous value, very fast, across the value chain.In this fifth of six episodes investigating low-code myths, the host Michael Boland is joined by two guests: Isaac Sacolick – founder and President of StarCIO, a company that helps organizations adopt digital transformation – and a low-code curious, Ginni Saraswati.Today, you'll learn about the worries that act as barriers to the adoption of low-code platforms.

Most established organizations are very protective of their legacy systems even when they are clearly inefficient. That's because their employees' vast knowledge on how to operate those systems is a big asset to them. They view investing in new systems as possible opportunities that are beyond their risk tolerance. Low-code systems are perfect for such organizations because the transition is fast and many features can easily be customized to meet their needs. It also provides them with an opportunity to remain competitive by increasing their efficiency.In this fourth of six episodes investigating low-code myths, the host Michael Boland is joined by two guests: Charles Araujo – Principal Analyst at the digital transformation analyst firm, Intellyx – and a low-code curios Ginni Saraswati.Today, you'll learn how low-code can be used by organizations to profitably gain insight from data that is already available to them.

Listen to learn about:

Among hundreds of other things, the irruption of social media gave means to virtually every person on the planet to share their voices, knowledge, opinions, and, of course, market their businesses. Although podcasting is not considered a social media per se, it certainly does a great job at offering people the chance to share their voices and opinions, and needless to say, market their businesses. The best part is that it requires only three things: a computer, a reliable wifi connection, and a microphone. Visiting us today is Ginni Saraswati, Founder & CEO of Ginni Media, Entrepreneur, Contributor at Entrepreneur and Rolling Stone. Ginni is also the Host, Writer, and Executive Producer of The Ginni Show podcast, Co-Founder of Metro Podcast Studio, and The Podcast Accelerator USA.

Have you ever taken the plunge on an opportunity that was absolutely terrifying… but turned out to be one of the best decisions you ever made?

Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I'll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening.  Now on to my guest for today, Ginni Saraswati, founder of Ginni Media and host of an award-winning podcast about life as a gay Sri Lankan-born woman growing up in Australia. Ginni's first entrepreneurial attempt was an art show which she advertised on a foam board. Twenty years later, she found herself in traffic on her way to a corporate job and realizing she wanted something else. Having already cultivated a strong interest and skills in media and production, she started Ginni Media, a podcast production company. Ginni leads a team of 27 freelancers from around the world to produce content for thought leaders, influencers, and more. Leading a diverse team remotely is not without its challenges, but Ginni always puts people first. She approaches her business clients in the same way, by shooting for exceptional customer service and cultivating loyalty. Ginni plays the long game - focused on retaining clients - rather than the quick sale. While she's willing to give away services to some extent, she's also keenly aware of the importance of boundaries. Ultimately, for Ginni, being a successful entrepreneur is about self-awareness, the willingness to acknowledge mistakes, and always striving for the best.  Now, let's get better together. Actionable Insights Not surprisingly, Ginni thinks self-awareness is critical for anyone going down the entrepreneurial road, which she calls a journey of “profound self discovery.”  Ginni's philosophy is to “shoot for exceptional,” because even if you fall short, you'll still be doing better than most. Success is a long game. In order to cultivate a strong customer relationship and loyalty, be helpful and don't focus on just the immediate gain.  Links to Explore Further Ginni Saraswati on LinkedIn Ginni Media The Ginni Show Keep In TouchBook or Blog or Twitter or LinkedIn or JSYPR Learn more about your ad choices.
