Welcome to the show, Kristi. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for coming and to share with us about your journey and your ideas. Definitely. I mean, those of us who follow me probably also follow you on LinkedIn and see you popping up. So maybe they will not be unfamiliar with you. So let's start at the beginning. How did you come to start a company and be a CEO, an entrepreneur? Was this kind of the plan that you always had or it was a surprising twist in your career? Someday people are gonna ask me that question. I'm not going to want internally laugh, Steve. So I'm still internally laughing when people ask the question, “Is this what you thought you wanted to do?” Because it wasn't. I was a TV news reporter for 12 years. I worked at different television stations across the Midwest and did some work for Good Morning America. And I, like 20 of my, along with 20 of my colleagues, we all were laid off in late 2008. I filed my last report in Minneapolis. It was an investigative news story in early 2009. And thus began my quest to find my purpose, to find my next professional endeavor. And I came to this point where I really wanted to help people with my news background. I'm a storyteller at heart. I felt that traditional public relations were broken, so that wasn't a path for me. And I no longer wanted to have someone else telling me that I needed to miss the holidays or miss my child's birthday party. So I got stuck. There wasn't a job out there that met all of my criteria. I took a class at my church, and it really was about how to find your passion and help other people at the same time. And in week three of that class, the business was born, leading me down this journey that now is 12 and a half years in the making. That's fantastic. I mean, that's what entrepreneurship should be all about, doing the way, working the way you like and the people you like, and having time for your family. That's fantastic. So in your introduction, the way you explained, I kind of stuck my ear that you said that the PR needed to be reformed or disrupted? What was wrong with PR? What is wrong with PR that needs to be fixed? A couple of things. When I was in the news industry, I worked with PR folks that were in corporations where I was interviewing someone in their organization. I worked with PR agencies. I worked with dozens and dozens of people over my career. And they all had the same weakness, frankly. They didn't understand media. They had never worked in the media. They didn't know what I needed. They didn't know how to set up their client for success. It was a real mess. So I didn't want to go into that industry. So that was one issue for me. The other issue for me is that based on the research that I did after my television career ended, is that PR is sort of put in this bucket of things where it's, you're so expected to have a budget line item for it. But if you get nothing in return, that's fine. No problem, you have to spend, you know, fill in the blank 10% on it, whatever. But it may or may not work. It's sort of like this magical, mystical thing out there that, “Well, we'll see. If we get lucky, we get lucky.” And it's really one of the only industries in the world where that's accepted. If I hire someone to put a roof on my home, I better get a roof. And if I don't, I'm to get my money back and go hire someone else.

What I love about Kristi is that she is building a new business model, and new way to work. That involves focusing on family benefits, including allowing new parents to bring their baby to work. Some people might shy away from that kind of thinking, worried that it will hinder the productivity. Instead, Kristi supports family values in every aspect of her life. Who would not want to work for a boss like Kristi?  Kristi covers how she has some top evening routines including: Putting her phone away when she gets home Having dinner ready by 5:30PM every day She also covers how she had major mom guilt because she felt she needed to cook her kids meals, but how she learned to outsource that so that she was not so stressed out.
