Kristopher "Kris" Grey is the founder of Creatapult and a seasoned project management consultant with over two decades of experience helping contractors and growing businesses scale without operational chaos. A self-described "construction brat" who grew up inside his family's contracting company, Kris launched his entrepreneurial journey under pressure - just days after the birth of his first child - and turned that crisis into a mission to help business owners build the systems, dashboards, and accountability frameworks they need to protect margins, reduce risk, and lead with clarity through fractional project management leadership. SHOW SUMMARY In this episode, Jonathan Goldhill is joined by Kristopher Grey of Creatapult about how contractors and other organizations can scale without operational chaos. Kristopher shares his origin story of losing all family income three days after his first child was born, which shifted his view that entrepreneurship and having a “side” income can be less risky than relying on one W2 job.
