Lean Out to Level Up with Crista Grasso

Published on: 11th January, 2022

I am excited to introduce you to today’s guest on The Driven Woman Podcast;  Business Strategist for online entrepreneurs, Crista Grasso.  Crista and I met at the She Podcasts Live conference and I totally fell in love with her brilliance.  Her genius is helping other entrepreneurs remove the unnecessary complexity in their business so they become more profitable as they grow.

Crista’s system, The Lean Out Method is designed to create simple, sustainable, strategic systems that scale.  She is known as The Business Optimizer and her superpower is helping entrepreneurs cut through the noise and see their business with clarity, so they can maximize both value and profitability. 

What I saw her scratch out on the back of a notepad over lunch convinced me that I need her to help me take MY business to the next level, so I decided to hire her.  I am actually attending her two-day Lean Out & Level Up retreat this very week! 

Here is a sneak peek of what you are going to learn in this value-packed interview:

  • Crista’s CHUK system which stands for Cut, Hold, Change, Keep 
  • Having a killer client fulfillment system prevents buyers’ remorse 
  • When you’re ready to scale (and when you are NOT ready) 
  • How to scale and still serve clients 1:1 

Quotables to listen for in this interview: 

  • Systematize what you want to repeat 
  • Scaling amplifies what you already have 

 Also mentioned, Crista’s favorite project management system:  www.monday.com 

So, I bet you can’t wait to know more about today’s fabulous guest,  Crista Grasso, right?

About the Podcast

ADHD-ish™ ADHD Business Strategy for Busy Brains
ADHD Business Strategy for Business Owners with Busy Brains
Discover ADHD success stories, ADHD entrepreneurship, and ADHD energy management on ADHD ish™, the podcast redefining business strategy for ADHD founders. Hosted by Diann Wingert, a seasoned business coach and former psychotherapist, this show is built for entrepreneurs who are tired of chasing hacks, rigid routines, or “one size fits all” advice that never sticks.
Instead of quick fixes, ADHD ish™ offers real world stories, expert insights, and practical solutions for scaling a business while managing the realities of ADHD.

You’ll hear how entrepreneurs navigate delegation, accountability, executive function challenges, decision fatigue, and burnout prevention. Each episode blends personal experiences with actionable strategies, showing you how to harness your creativity and energy without burning out.

Diann brings decades of experience helping ADHD business owners stop fighting their brains and start building companies that work with them. Through candid conversations and success stories, she highlights how ADHD entrepreneurs can grow intentionally, lead authentically, and design systems that support their unique strengths.

Listeners will find encouragement, clarity, and community in every episode. Whether you’re launching your first venture or scaling an established company, ADHD ish™ helps you embrace your entrepreneurial spirit while managing energy, focus, and decision making in ways that feel sustainable.

This podcast isn’t about fixing ADHD—it’s about leveraging it. ADHD ish™ proves that success doesn’t come from forcing yourself to think or work like everyone else. It comes from building a business that honors your brain, your creativity, and your drive.
