Today we’re chatting with Kristina Loskarjova, an entrepreneur and businesswoman with type 1 diabetes. Her message? That anyone, anywhere can pursue their dreams.
Kristina Loskarjova joins us to talk about entrepreneurship and growing up with parents who taught her that nothing can hold her back.
Her book, Yes You Can, tells the stories of multiple T1Ds who proved that they can do whatever they set their minds to.
