Kristy Martino
Unsatisfied Optimist at Peanut Butter Purpose.
Kittery, ME, United States
The first thing Kristy Martino wanted to be when she grew up was a garbage man. The second thing was a writer. Her path to the word, however, was winding. Spanning over two decades, she was a former textile designer, marketing director, lobbyist, and lead singer of an (objectively incredible) 80s New Wave cover band in NYC.
Today, she’s leading the Creative team at Strategic Media, writing and producing audio ads. In past chapters, she’s owned a screen-printing business, and a successful design studio. Her greatest asset has always been the pen. Kristy has told stories on stages, on Capitol Hill, and in countless dimly lit cafes around the world. Words are her love language. Followed shortly thereafter by applause.
She has an insatiable curiosity, strong opinions on fruit, baseball, and Lyndon Baines Johnson, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of others.
About this FieldTrip
Why is it so hard to talk about money? Why is it so difficult to value ourselves and our work? As creatives, we often diminish our worth and find getting paid to be an excruciating process.
Many of the challenges we face are both rooted in systemic societal issues and deep within ourselves. This field trip will touch on the emotional inner work that can be done as well as the outer, more technical and tangible work that needs to be done in order to create or maintain sustainable, profitable, purposeful businesses and practices.

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
Not vibing?
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
