This week we are highlighting all of our FABULOUS#speakers once again to get ready for the #Dare2Aspire#conference in #Atlanta in LESS THAN A MONTH! 

First up is….

Krista Whitley Castellarin, CEO of “EGO”: Entertainment and Growth Opportunities!

As a serial entrepreneur, Krista created and grew Canada’s #9 fastest growing company only to have it implode due to a terrible corporate culture of profit before values. Having learned how important corporate culture is, Krista rebounded and created a hybrid engagement firm that secured huge clients less than two weeks from the day they opened. Krista has been on both sides of the camera, as a reality television star on Animal Planet and with her own reality television show in Canada on the Slice network, and winning two American Advertising Federation Addy awards for her video production work. A passionate entrepreneur and consultant, Krista is a shareholder in several companies and shares her adventures and misadventures in capitalism on her blog, The Mean Girls. As a naturally philanthropic individual, Krista is very involved with local charities and donates her time speaking to students about entrepreneurship.

It was the tenth time you tried calling your wife. She was supposed to be back from her presentation by this point. You knew her conferences were always busy though, but still, you were starting to worry. If she was in her room yet, she would at least pick up her room phone, right?
