They Called Her a Flight Risk. She Used It as Fuel | Krysta Huber on Leaving Corporate and Building Two Six-Figure Businesses

You built the résumé. You followed the practical path. You did everything right — and somewhere in your late 20s, you started to wonder if the career you chose was actually the career you wanted. If this sounds like you, you don't wanna miss this episode.In the first official guest episode of Twenty 12, Coach Meg sits down with her college-friend-turned-business-mentor, Krysta Huber. Krysta is the founder of not one, but two six-fiture businesses: her marketing agency, The Spread, and her online fitness and nutrition company, The Fitness Fix. She is also the host of the No Such Thing podcast. Krysta's story is a near-perfect example of what this show is about: she didn't reinvent herself in her 30s - instead, she returned to herself.In today's episode, you'll hear how a rejection from her previous internship employer rerouted her early career, why being called a "flight risk" in 2020 turned out to be the push she needed to bet on herself, what it really looked like to call off a wedding and quit her job at the same time, and how her definition of success rebuilt itself from a $10K-a-month revenue goal into building and scaling two businesses simultaneously. If you're a woman in your 30s feeling stuck in a career you outgrew, burnt out from trying to "prove" yourself against someone else's definition of success, or if your secretly curious about entrepreneurship and you've been noodling on the idea of starting your own thing - this one will hit.Press play.
