In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Kristina Krykhtin, a real estate syndicator, investment expert, businesswoman, and one of South Florida’s rising dealmakers in the world of finance, real estate, investing, and high-level business networking. Kristina shares her powerful story of coming to America from Belarus, starting over in South Florida, building her faith, surviving personal trauma, navigating marriage, divorce, motherhood, and betrayal, and eventually rebuilding herself into a confident entrepreneur and real estate investor. Ross and Kristina discuss what it takes to break into industries traditionally dominated by men, including finance, business, real estate, investing, and dealmaking. Kristina opens up about her early life, her mother’s sacrifice, the challenges of immigration, finding stability through church and faith, and how those values shaped the way she approaches business, relationships, family, and money.
