S02 #12 - Broad Voices, with Jo Stanley

Jo Stanley is the Founder of Broad Radio.

After being discovered performing stand-up comedy in a dingy pub more than 20 years ago, Jo spent more than a decade as one half of the record-breaking Number 1 breakfast radio show, The Matt & Jo Show on Fox FM.

In 2016, she teamed up with Anthony “Lehmo” Lehmann on Gold 104.3, taking that show to Number 1 as well.

She is now co-host of The House of Wellness TV on Channel 7, and host of The House of Wellness Radio nationally on the Nine Entertainment Network, as well as creator and host of the podcast, Best of You. Jo also writes a column in the Sunday Life Magazine and created a children’s book series called Play Like a Girl.

In 2020, Jo founded and created Broad Radio, a radio station for women, by women, which launched with a live stream on Facebook and YouTube, and has now officially gone live on the Broad Radio app. Broad radio features conversation about everything from comedy, sport, leadership, politics, health, entertainment and gender equality.

This interview covers a number of great topics, including:

• The origin and vision for Broad Radio
• The start-up funding landscape Jo has learned all about
• The importance of financial literacy for women
• Building awareness and interest in the early days of a start-up
• The importance of patience in startups, and
• Targeting the female audience and the appropriate commercialisation strategies.

You can find out more on the Broad Radio website and their Instagram page, or you can connect with Jo via LinkedIn.
