Guest Kristin Lust figured out early that she yearned to be an entrepreneur. Always a self-starter and driven to do things her way, Kristin began a dog walking business as a young girl. Her independence and determination were tested when she first went to law school and nearly risked losing her hard-won scholarship by a falling GPA. Kristin realized that she did not want to work for a traditional law firm in her first law firm. Kristin’s strategy for her success is to stay true to her independent perspective to resolve conflict for others. As a female business leader, she shares the importance of choosing to do what you love, not what is expected of you.
