Achieving Work-Life Harmony with Ginni Saraswati
Do you have a strategy to prevent the urgent from conquering the space of what's important?
Today, I'm super excited to be joined by Ginni Saraswati. Ginni is the Founder and CEO of Ginni Media, hosts two podcasts, "PodPops" and "The Ginni Show," and is a Forbes, Fast Company, Rolling Stone & Entrepreneur Contributor. Born in Sri Lanka, Ginni and her family moved to Australia when she was two. After hosting a radio show in Melbourne for around 10 years while figuring out her corporate life, Ginni tried the executive route but felt deeply unhappy.
She started producing podcasts when they weren't a thing, an activity she would explain to her family as "selling radios," and only with a handful of clients made the leap to the Big Apple, where she founded Ginni Media.
Tune in and listen to the forty-fourth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear about Ginni's upbringing, cultural career-related mandates, and impositions, and the moment she realized corporate life and her weren't compatible. We also discuss the work-life balance in entrepreneurship, and Ginni brings an exciting new concept: work-life harmony. You'll also get great boundaries-building tips, new ways of disconnecting yourself from work, and how to stop the home office life from interfering with your personal life.
