You don’t need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of clients. To make a living- you need only thousands of true fans aka massage clients. Even more attainable still…a thousand massage appointments. If you have roughly a thousand appointments on your calendar every year, you can make a living- a good living as well!
*This episode is based on the popular Essay “1000 True Fans By Kevin Kelly” where I share the breakdown to demonstrate the same idea can be applied to a massage therapy practice with great success!

Customer Reviews
Helps Greatly!
As a fellow massage therapist, this podcast speaks to my soul. Thank you!
Nothing short of amazing
When I first started listening to Krista's podcast, I was blown away by her natural ability to connect with not only her audience, but also her guests that appear on her show.
Krista's gentle, yet fact finding approach to what she does is what I think gives her an edge! You can tell that her content is studied and prepared for.
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts that I listen because every time I learn something new. It's funny how you can feel so connected to someone like you've known them forever. This is exactly how Krista makes you feel when you listen to her material.
Thanks Krista for playing such an impactful and pivotal role in this dynamic industry. We need many more Krista's in the world.
Looking forward to more
Loved Krista questions! She has a very calm and relaxing voice that’s easy to listen to. I hope her next guests have a bit more passion for the profession. It was disappointing listening to someone go on who admits to staying in the profession for a “highly hourly rate” and that “doesn’t find it challenging enough”. I am looking forward to listening to her next guests.
