Watch time: 30 min ☕️🎥 www.heybossmama.com/ai What’s the difference between creating a job for yourself… and building a business that can thrive without you? In this candid conversation, Kristina Babina — founder of TotUP, a growing chain of private daycares in Switzerland — breaks down what it really means to think like an entrepreneur. She shares why scaling matters, how systems give you freedom, and why fighting for change at the government level is part of her mission to make childcare more accessible. Kristina’s no-nonsense approach is a reminder that growth isn’t just about hustle — it’s about clarity, bigger vision, and building something that lasts. 🗒️ Full show notes www.HeyBossMama.com/022 🍓FIND ME ON SOCIAL Instagram:   www.instagram.com/heybossmama  Linkedin:   www.linkedin.com/in/manouchkaelefant    Facebook Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/heybossmama Website: www.HeyBossMama.com Mentioned in this episode: Discover More Great Podcasts at SwissCast.Network The SwissCast Podcast Network is here to amplify the diverse voices and unique stories of Switzerland—all in English.
