How Johns Hopkins University Uses Jellypod

Boi Carpenter is the Vice President of Alumni Relations at Johns Hopkins University and founder of Inquisitive Leader, a community for managers and leaders who want to lean into curiosity. She's both a university leader and entrepreneur, and she needed a consistent way to reach busy professionals without adding another full-time job to her week.

She wanted "micro-learning moments"—10-minute, coaching-oriented audio nuggets people could absorb on the commute, at lunch, or between meetings. The gap wasn't vision; it was production. Which mic? What's an RSS feed? How do you structure a solo show and make it feel like a real podcast with music and sign-offs?

Jellypod helped her turn written posts into podcasts, expanding ideas with clear chaptering and keeping the delivery in her own authentic voice via voice cloning. The same tone people hear on campus or at events now extends into her episodes.

Her workflow starts by pasting a blog or outline into Jellypod, generating a structured episode with chapters, then refining it. She adds personal examples or coaching questions that spark inquiry, and if a line needs to change, she edits that line and instantly regenerates just that section of audio.

Jellypod bundled the entire workflow into one platform—from source intake, outlining and scripting, line-level edits, lifelike narration in her voice, intro/outro music, and one-click distribution to Spotify, Apple, and YouTube.

The biggest surprise was how much time she reclaimed while keeping quality high. Colleagues and friends kept asking how she found time to "add a podcast" to a full-time role and a growing venture.

She now has a regular podcast with 8-12 minute coaching episodes people can use daily—whether on commutes, in transitions, or before a meeting. It's accessible where people already are: Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.

"Jellypod is a digital version of me—letting me show up consistently in a new medium, with the same voice and quality, without the extra worry."
