If you're building a business that is rooted in intuition, soul and strategy - then in this episode, I'll be sharing an intuitive way to plan your brand using Pinterest—no social media overwhelm required.

We'll learn why Pinterest is a unique tool for inspiration and organic growth, and that it actually works more like a search engine than a traditional social platform - the so-called Pinterest "algorithm" in 2026 is driven by intent. Meaning, they are valuing pins that leverage phrases that mirror what someone might actually be searching for, and the more specific and niche the better! This is also especially good news if you're planning on using Pinterest to share your podcast.

Of course, we're starting with some reflective journaling, so you can gain clarity, collect resources, and shape your business vision in a way that truly feels good to you.

Whether you're dreaming up a new idea or refreshing your current brand, get ready for actionable tips, personal insights, and permission to explore, play, and trust your process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How Pinterest can serve as a soulful alternative for brand building—beyond typical social media hustle
2. A unique Pinterest process for vision boarding and intuitive journaling to clarify your business dreams and creative projects
3. How to approach marketing and strategy intuitively, leveraging long-form content for aligned, sustainable growth
4. How to set yourself up now - by organizing inspiration and resources visually (and practically) for easier action later

If you're an author or an aspiring author - developing an engaged community around your work has become a necessary asset whether you're self-publishing or pitching major publishers.

My former podcast production agency client, Laura Cathcart Robbins, peels back the curtain on how we leveraged podcasting not just as a creative outlet, but as an intentional launching pad for her writing career and public platform.

After Laura received the hard truth from an agent that "no one knows who you are" and that memoir is the hardest genre to publish without visibility, Laura Cathcart Robbins embraced podcasting as part of her author journey. With myself (Christina Barsi) as her executive producer and strategist, we created "The Only One in the Room" podcast to build credibility, create an engaged audience, develop her personal brand platform as an author and support her memoir-writing-style weekly in how we crafted the podcast's format and feel.

The Only One In The Room became a top 1% podcast globally with millions of downloads and Laura Cathcart Robbins not only got a book deal with her favorite publisher - she became a best-seller with her memoir "Stash".

If you’re curious about how launching a show can become the springboard for bringing your book-writing dreams to life - this one's for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How podcasting can be a strategic platform for building your author platform
2. How podcasting develops the engaged audience needed for a successful book launch
3. Why developing your author voice can deepen with the practice of podcasting

I'm taking you behind the scenes of my journey, from "artist to entrepreneurship" as I found my way to podcasting and then built my branded podcast agency Avant Haüs Media, in this special feature episode.

This episode originally released on The Future of Work podcast, presented by Pasadena City College, hosted by Dr. Salvatrice Cummo and Leslie Thompson, executive produced and developed by me and on-goingly produced and managed by my team at Avant Haüs Media for six years now.

We dive into my journey from aspiring actor to innovative business owner, and explore how I transformed my artistic passions into a successful podcasting career.

In this conversation, you'll also hear how community college and mentorship shaped my path, the hurdles I faced in a male-dominated industry, and the powerful lessons I learned of self-awareness and resilience in both business and life.

From building my first podcast audio-drama project out of a love for storytelling and in a search for my identity, to forming an agency and finding a passion for guiding others in finding their voice...I hope my story inspires you to take action on your dream - it really can begin with one step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How to find and build your unique voice as an artist, creative, or empath
2. The importance of support and mentorship
3. How to let go of perfectionism and ego to allow space for learning, and cultivating compassion
4. Why creating space for more diverse voices is imperative
