Description

This week we have a special student spotlight featuring Hiwote Getaneh, an audio producer curious about human-centered, emotion-driven storytelling. We first met when she joined my Podcast Moguls accelerator program, and it’s been so awesome to follow her journey from working in social policy research, to growing her own podcast, to actually changing her career path to work in podcasting full time, to moving to Portugal to live and work full time, to now launching her Emerging Voices, a podcasting accelerator for aspiring creators who want to start a podcast that is unique to them and build their creative resilience along the way.


In this episode she shares:

  • How identifying a niche audience transformed her podcast and entrepreneurial journey
  • Her focus on helping first and second-generation immigrant women find confidence in their stories 
  • Balancing financial stability after leaving her full time job and moving abroad to Portugal
