Welcome back to The Austin Moss Show! In this inspiring episode, Austin sits down with Kristen Rock Chouinard, the dynamic entrepreneur behind Kartwheel, a revolutionary product designed to bring safety and peace of mind to parents everywhere. Kristen takes us on a journey from her early days of dreaming up product ideas to launching a practical solution born out of her own experience as a mother of two young children.

Kristen’s path is one filled with lessons, resilience, and purpose. Raised in Kansas City, she has always been a problem-solver at heart, and Kartwheel—a portable tool to keep shopping karts securely in place while unloading groceries—is her answer to a challenge many parents face. With humor and heartfelt reflections, Kristen shares her struggles and triumphs, including her experience raising Calvin, her son with Down syndrome, and how it has shaped her perspective on life and entrepreneurship.

🚀 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Birth of Kartwheel: The story of how a chaotic parking lot moment became the spark for Kristen’s business.
2. Lessons in Confidence: How a luxury trip to St. Bart’s helped Kristen shift her mindset and finally say “Let’s do this.”
3. Balancing Roles: Insight into juggling the demands of a corporate career, a growing business, and family life.
4. Parenting and Perseverance: Kristen’s raw reflections on being a special needs mom and how her journey has fueled her passion for creating meaningful products.
5. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Why you should weigh the cost of regret as heavily as any risk before taking the leap.

Kristen’s story is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to make an impact. From navigating the ups and downs of parenthood to balancing a demanding advertising career, Kristen exemplifies how grit, creativity, and a little faith can turn an idea into a product that’s changing lives.

💡 Final Thoughts:
Kristen leaves us with powerful advice: “When weighing a big decision, consider not just the risks but also the regret of not pursuing it. If you can’t imagine seeing someone else launch your idea and succeeding where you didn’t try, that’s your sign to go for it.”
