#196: Artist Turned Owner- How Christina Barsi Built a Podcast Media Agency (as featured in The Future of Work Podcast)

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
