Australia's Got Talent Winner, America's Got Talent Runner Up, founder of Physipole Studios and Groovio, and Pole Icon Hall of Fame Inductee are just a few of the titles Kristy holds.

You may know Kristy from those videos your grandmother sends you on facebook, asking why you aren't doing something like that with your pole career.

We initially invited Kristy to talk about Groovio, but she ends up sharing the goss on AGT, how to deal with online hate, and how the pole community has changed over the course of her career.
