Recently, I was honored to get to hang out and record a podcast with my friend, Chris LoCurto. Chris has been a huge inspiration to us and is a wealth of wisdom on business leadership, personal development, and entrepreneurialism.
We first learned about Chris when we attended EntreLeadership a few years back. We then became big fans of the EntreLeadership podcast that he hosted while working with Dave Ramsey.
Chris and I connected on Twitter awhile back and have become great friends. The thing I love most about Chris is that he’s the exact same person on stage and on a podcast as he is in real-life.
We’ve spent time at his home with he and his wife Debbie and they are the real deal. So caring, inspiring, giving, and encouraging (not to mention, Chris is an amazing chef — we still talk about the mouth-watering lamb chops he made for us when they had us over for dinner!)
When we were in Nashville a few weeks ago, Chris asked if he could have me on his podcast — which I was more than thrilled to do! If you’re interested in the story behind MoneySavingMom.com or the lessons I’ve learned as a blogger and business owner, you’ll want to check out the podcast.
In this podcast, we talk about:
- How I got started blogging and how much (er, little) money I made in the first few years
- How I tried to be like another business owner and ended up failing royally as a result
- Why I first started MoneySavingMom,com and how it has changed and grown over the years
- How I choose MoneySavingMom.com team members and what I look for when considering hiring someone
- How anyone can grow their platform using Pinterest
- The various strategies and tactics we employ to create a high-level of engagement on our Facebook Page

This was so good, Crystal! Thanks for all the useful info. I have (guy) friends who work at Pinterest and they would love to hear that you are encouraging more guys to get on it because it is awesome!
Sarah says
Just downloaded it, and can’t wait to listen. Keep up the good work Crystal, I love your blog!
Luba says
Thank you so much, Crystal, for sharing your wisdom. I just listened to your interview and downloaded it to listen to it again.
Victoria says
His site is back up. I just listened. I was writing notes when it came to the Facebook page tips, great stuffed. Laughed over the “vertical” “right” and “left” thing because I do the same thing all the time.
Crystal says
Yes, I’m *forever* mixing up vertical and horizontal and left and right. Glad to know I’m not the only one! 🙂

I’m unable to get the link to work. I would LOVE to listen. Thanks for the opportunity! Its what I need to hear for the New Year!
Crystal says
His site is down right now (there’s a HUGE outage on some major hosting servers right now), but you can download/listen to it on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chris-locurto-show-interview/id522095976?i=223484762&mt=2
Jennifer says
I’m having trouble getting to his site. Chrome and safari say the server is down. Is it just on my end that there’s a problem?
Matt McWilliams says
He must be on BlueHost. All their sites are down today. Not you 🙂
You can listen in iTunes or SoundCloud which Crystal has at the top of the post.

Crystal,
I am such a fan of yours, and Chris’s too. I can’t wait to listen to your interview with him, I’m sure you’re terrific, witty, helpful and just YOU!
I’m downloading it to my phone now, and I’ll be listening to it in a few minutes! Here’s to much success in 2014!
-Christine

Aw, you are so sweet! Thank you for being a reader here — and for being such an encouragement this past year!
