Vicki O'Neill ,

A *MUST* Listen Every Week

Krista has successfully built and sold 2 businesses and is building her 3rd business. What she shares is real and actionable. The tips and advice she shares is based on her experiences which she genuinely shares as a way to help others (like me!) with their business - and love Mondays again..

Juana Poareo ,

Bright and sassy

The word "sassy" might have a negative connotation for some but Krista's sassiness is perfect for this podcast! She's refreshing and a lot of fun. If you're looking to ditch the 9 to 5, or maybe you want to stay, you can count on this podcast for its variety of business standpoints. Highly recommended!

Pengex ,

Literally my favorite podcast

I look forward to these podcasts and listening to them in my own time since they give me inspiration and an audacity to work to my fullest potential. Definitely an inspiring individual who's had an incredibly interesting life. Big fan!
