Every person has a different skill set that they bring into the world - and combining two powerhouses, two strengths in a partnership can lead to something that’s far greater than ever imagined.  Today, we have two amazing guests that put together their strengths, kept a clear delineation of their lanes, and brought into the world The Podcast Accelerator course. This is the only done-for-you program on the planet, where they take you from “I’m not sure what the concept of my show would be”, all the way through to having a published, finished podcast by the end of their eight-week course.  If you’re wondering who these amazing women are, here’s some background on them! Ginni Saraswati is the CEO and Founder of Ginni Media – a podcast production company that helps individuals and organizations each step of the way into creating, marketing, and distributing their podcasts and making their voices heard – and we are grateful to be one of her many clients. Her wonderful business partner is Michelle Sorro, the founder of Live Video Academy and the amazing host of the “Fire and Soul” podcast, a top 10 in self-development.  Together, they’ve guided 53 people to launch their podcasts through two editions of The Podcast Accelerator Program, and they’ve poured their heart and soul into delivering the most value into the world. This amazing program started from the idea that it can be isolating and a little lonely trying to go solo when your friends and family might not be in the same space of understanding what it’s like to start a podcast, run a podcast, and most importantly, persevere in the podcast industry – so, joining a community that can offer support throughout the whole process can help you stay the course and get to the finish line.  If you want to start your podcast, and you’re not sure how or you need a little bit of hand-holding throughout the process, listen to Episode 246 of Becoming Your Best, to learn how you can be part of the third – and last this year – edition of The Podcast Accelerator. They have an Open House soon, so feel free to join there also, and learn what you can expect from these two amazing powerhouses that impact the world every day through their work! Some questions I ask: Ginni and Michelle, tell us about your background – how did you get to where you are today?
