TODAY'S EPISODE
Hello, everyone, and welcome to "The Jim Kroft Podcast," where I link the worlds of business and creativity.
It's self-evident in the digital economy that these once-separated galaxies are starting to collide.
The journey of figuring this out has led me to seek the wisdom of others, and today’s special guest, Aishwarya Ashok, embodies this wisdom. I first met Aishwarya on an online course I took last year, run by KP, one of the most cherished guests on this Podcast.
Every time Aishwarya spoke, I was struck by her ability with the spoken word and quickly became a fan of her Podcast, “The Founders Foyer”.
Recognised among the Top 200 Creators on LinkedIn in India, Aishwarya is a visionary product manager, podcaster, and artist.
Today, we'll explore how she balances being a mentor and creator while nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit.
How does she navigate these intersections, and what advice does she offer those exploring similar paths?
Her answers left me feeling that every challenge is an opportunity, and every day is an unwritten script, pregnant with possibility.
I'm excited to introduce Aishwarya and her wonderful perspectives on everything from the digital economy to the creator ecosystem.
Are you ready? Then, let’s dive in!

Finding Inspiration in Failure | Steven King
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 15th episode of “The Jim Kroft Podcast.”
This week's episode is a personal reflection on a book which has impacted me greatly:
Stephen King’s “On Writing”.
I put a lot of love into the writing, sound design and the original music.
The focus of this Podcast is linking the Solopreneur and Creative worlds.
But I don’t want it to be just about creativity but for it to be a creative podcast.
As such, I continue to experiment with the format.
I want to give you the best experience I can - and I hope something original too.
Today’s episode is about finding inspiration in failure.
Each takeaway is accompanied by an anecdote from Stephen King himself, a writer with mind-boggling consistency.
Finally - by signing up for my newsletter, you will receive next week my new music - "The Isolation Diaries" EP - two
months before anyone else!
With love, Jim
