Money mindset and changing goals

Krissy Cela (Founder of Oner Active & EvolveYou) opens up about scaling a $190M business — and why she refuses to build her brand around men. From being homeless to building one of the fastest-growing female-founded brands in athleisure, Krissy explains the “immigrant mentality” that still keeps her in fight-or-flight mode, why she hired her mentor as CEO, and the 6-step rebrand that transformed her from fitness creator into a high-performance founder. Along the way, she shares hard lessons about leadership, relationships, and why sometimes being called a “b*tch” is the price of protecting your vision and building something truly for women, by women.
