Who I Am & My Story

From Hard Hats to High Tech: Started as a Civil Engineer, ditched the $60k job 'cause of all the corruption.

Teacher Life: Became a Physics teacher, then jumped into the tech world for compliant industries (like law).

The Hustle is Real: Worked for an edtech startup for zero pay for 3 months! Then they started paying me a whopping $5 a month. But hey, in a year, I was making $1000.

Sold the Tutoring Gig: Built my own tutoring business from 2021 to 2024. Hit six figures and then sold it off to an investor in the UAE. Sweet!

Scammed, Then Succeeded: Got ripped off by a software company while trying to build an LMS. Instead of giving up, I hired some devs and a CTO, fixed the product, and scaled it to 300 schools in one year!

My New Mission: Legal Tech: Now I'm focused on helping law firm partners and managers figure out the confusing world of tech. They're competitive and often clueless about this stuff.

My Expertise: I help legal tech founders with AI, growth marketing, workflow automation, and figuring out whether they need an off-the-shelf SaaS or a custom layer built.

Kristin Knudson

CMO on the Go helping founders and leaders align their true calling with strategy, marketing, and communication so they can grow with ease instead of hustle and burnout.

I didn’t come into marketing and leadership from the easy road. Years ago, I was a single mom on welfare, starting over after hitting rock bottom. What turned my life around wasn’t just working harder — it was learning how to align who I was with what I wanted to create. That shift took me from selling event tickets over the phone to becoming the Chief Strategy Officer of a national movement and a sought-after Fractional CMO.

Today, I’m the CMO on the Go — a growth strategist and founder of Aligned Agency. I’ve spent 15+ years guiding founders, executives, and brands across wellness, consumer goods, and digital platforms. What makes my work different is how I integrate practical tools like communication frameworks and marketing systems with deeper Universal Laws that show us how energy, presence, and alignment actually drive results.

Podcast hosts trust me because I bring both the lived experience of rebuilding a life and career from the ground up, and the executive expertise of scaling businesses, leading teams, and building strategies that stick. Listeners leave my episodes with a mix of inspiration and clear, actionable tools — and the reassurance that achieving with ease isn’t just possible, it’s repeatable.
