Flip Your Script is a podcast about life’s critical turning points and how people find the inspiration and motivation to move forward and rewrite their unique stories. The show is hosted by Kristi Piehl, who flipped her script from an Emmy-winning journalist to a successful entrepreneur (Media Minefield) and speaker.
Flip Your Script host, Kristi Piehl, spent 12 years as an Emmy Award-winning television news reporter, appearing on Good Morning America, CNN and the BBC. In 2008, she was unexpectedly laid off. Kristi was at a crossroads; she could either look for another job in news or she could flip her script. She chose the latter, and in 2010, launched Media Minefield, a one-of-a-kind, full-service public relations agency with a storycentric marketing approach specializing in earned media, social media, digital advertising and crisis communication. The business is Kristi’s “Chapter 2,” and she’s passionate about sharing the stories of how others positively flipped the script on their own careers and lives.
In addition to being a CEO and a sought-after keynote speaker, Kristi is a champion for entrepreneurs of all genders and ethnicities and family-first work policies. She is also passionate about sharing diverse stories that connect with a wide audience.
She was named one of Minnesota’s 500 Most Powerful Business Leaders in 2020 & 2021 and joined the Board of Trustees at Bethel University 2020. In 2019, Kristi was named a Women in Business honoree by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal and a Women 2 Watch nominee by WPO. Kristi is a founding member of DePaul University's Women in Entrepreneurship Institute and The 25 at Bethel University.
Under Kristi’s leadership, Media Minefield has won numerous awards including Best Places to Work and is Great Place to Work Certified™. The company has also landed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies three times and is recognized as a WBENC-certified Women’s Business Enterprise.
Kristi hopes every Flip Your Script story empowers you to believe you are capable of more than you think, to discover motivation, to uncover inspiration and to find the strength to turn the page.
