Introducing the GSD with Jeni Podcast: A Journey of Growth, Resilience, and Action
At HAVEN Creative, our work has always been about empowering growth and transformation. That’s why our Founder & CEO, Jeni Bukolt, created the GSD with Jeni podcast—an open invitation to listeners to learn, grow, and discover how to overcome obstacles on the path to personal and professional fulfillment. This podcast isn’t just about success stories; it’s about the grit and resilience needed to “Get Shit Done” (GSD) in life, leadership, and business.
The podcast dives into the realities of facing challenges head-on, from battling imposter syndrome to finding the courage to launch a startup. Jeni explores how to navigate hard conversations, scale a business, or simply muster up the strength to keep going. Each episode brings in industry leaders and changemakers, who share their journeys, tools, and real-world strategies designed to inspire listeners to take meaningful action in their lives.
Why GSD with Jeni?
For Jeni, creating this podcast was personal. Having built HAVEN Creative from the ground up, she knows firsthand what it takes to stay resilient through failures, celebrate small wins, and move forward despite the odds. Jeni says, “I wanted to create a space where people could hear from others who have been through the trenches—where you can find stories of people overcoming real challenges and feel that spark of motivation to tackle your own.”
Each episode showcases the authenticity and openness Jeni values, as listeners hear candid stories and insights from inspiring individuals. From leaders like Gary Frey, who talks about overcoming imposter syndrome, to Josh Rimnay’s insights on wellness and breathwork, every conversation brings something unique to the table. There’s also a special focus on sharing each guest’s “favorite failure,” shining a light on the lessons learned through missteps and reminding listeners that failure is a stepping stone to success.
