74. Kristen Revell interviewed

January 09, 2026 • Kristen Revell

In this special episode of Curiosity with Kristen, the tables turn as Kristen is interviewed by Jodi Kaelle, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MontaRosa. Kristen shares her full career journey from her early days at a CPA firm to discovering staffing and recruitment, becoming a top performer, and ultimately launching multiple businesses of her own. Kristen reflects on her pivots from accounting to Robert Half, overcoming fears like cold calling, excelling in permanent placement, and navigating the emotional weight of life-changing career moves. She recounts being laid off during COVID and using that moment as a launchpad to build Curiosity with Kristen, a wakesurfing team-building company, and The Revell Group, emphasizing the importance of embracing failure, trusting instincts, and staying authentic. The conversation is both deeply personal and universally relevant, highlighting how curiosity, resilience, and openness to change can transform setbacks into new beginnings, while offering a reminder that careers are rarely linear and that growth often begins where certainty ends.
