Today we’d like to introduce you to KRISTYN RUTH.
Hi KRISTYN, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started working with my mom when I was 12 years old. She was a photographer and taught me how to sell the photos she took. It was pretty easy for me being that young, I would be like “I’m 12, you want them or not?”, we’d laugh and they’d buy. Through working in restaurants for a family and watching them expand to almost 20 locations and also getting into automotive and starting a car dealership then later starting an insurance agency (all of which are still running) and now opening my own restaurant, I have learned a lot about myself and how to treat other people. There is a lot of things that happen when running a business that you have to take to the gut and decide to just keep pushing. I thank God and Yoga for strengthening my mind and body. I thank my 2 sons for always being so loving and encouraging and inspiring me to be my best.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
There have been a lot of highs, a lot of good things that have happened, and spots in the journey where things felt very smooth. Then there are revelations that happen in life, maybe your perception wasn’t in line with your business partners you have chosen, but we keep the goals and the mission to serve in our industries at the forefront and we keep going. Sometimes those things are financial, sometimes they are personal and when they are personal sometimes it can be emotional and it’s very hard to mix emotions and business. I have learned to develop another personality, one that responds to data and makes quick calls and judgements for the betterment of the company. It’s not always the fun decision, but we always believe in doing what is right.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We have a full lines insurance agency. We help clients with auto, home, business, and life insurance needs. We brought in another partner and have changed our entity to the name Universal Wealth Insurance. Our total network of agents reach over 3,000 in all 50 states. Think Pink is my brand and I kept it to start a non profit, Think Pink Soul Sanctuary. The vision for our non profit is to be a beacon of hope and light for women and children. We offer resources and plan events to empower our sisters and give them a safe space to explore themselves. As a whole, Think Pink is known for being informative, helpful, knowledgeable, and approachable. We offer free mentorship to anyone who would like to be better in their lives. We offer help in areas of faith and family, finances, fitness, and health.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Currently I am reading “Billionaire Vs Millionaire Thinking, Business is War”. It is fantastic, I know how to start a business and make millions in revenue, I am stretching my mind to hold billionaire style thinking so we can go further. I’m a Yogi and my favorite Youtube channel is Yoga with Adriene. I have been watching and doing her videos for almost 8 years now. It is where I got started doing Yoga which has really shaped my life in a much better way. My favorite podcast is @UniversalWealth360 on YouTube. These are people I work with and their episodes are about mental fortitude and unlocking your mind.
