This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Krystal Popov. Krystal spent years climbing the corporate ladder in engineering before making the bold decision to walk away and bet on herself. Since then, she's built four businesses, including a seven-figure coworking and flex retail space in Tucson, Arizona. As a mother of three, she knows firsthand what it takes to balance building a business with building a family - and she's done both at an elite level. But what really sets Krystal apart is what she's doing for the next generation. She founded Futurepreneur to fill a massive gap in education - teaching kids and teens the real skills that actually matter in life: creativity, financial planning, marketing, leadership, and sales - through hands-on Business Startup Challenges. At a time when youth depression is rising, college debt is out of control, and screen addiction is stealing our kids' potential, Krystal is on a mission to replace the employee mindset with an entrepreneurial one - one kid at a time.
