"I didn't become number nine in the world for Ritz-Carlton by sitting on my ass."
Most mentorship podcasts tell you to follow the rules. Krissy Marsh is here to tell you which rules to break. In this debut episode of Wildly Appropriate, Krissy pulls back the curtain on the "inappropriate" decisions that paved her path to success—from falsifying her age to land her first job to aggressively "selling herself" into roles she wasn't technically qualified for.
Krissy dissects the psychology of sales, explaining why selling a pen is no different than selling your own potential. She also tackles the "Male Dominated Industry" myth, sharing how she used her femininity as a weapon in the industrial property market (feat. a pair of hot pink gumboots).
Key Takeaways:
