I did choose to use the form builder and customized my fields.
Using the form builder, I made the following changes;

- Design It Tab, I adjusted the Background Color, Changed the Header Text, Centered the Referral Badge.
From here I selected Signup forms to return and selected Embedded forms

4. ADD POPUP CODE TO YOUR SITE
You are almost there, you have the code – Now What?
You have 3 options to choose from;
Option 1 Add code to the <head> of your theme:
Depending on your theme and comfort level with code, this will be easy or hard.
Paste the code before the </head>, but if you ever update your theme this may cause this customization to disappear.
I would not recommend this method unless using a child theme.
Option 2 Simple Plugin Option:
Download and install Plugin, Insert Headers, and Footers.
Here you will just paste your code into the header portion and Save.
Option 3 Advanced Plugin Option:
Download, and install Plugin, PopupAlly.
Once installed, on the sidebar select PopupAlly.
On the Display Settings page (1), select Popup 1 (or create a new one if you’re already using the plugin).
Configure these settings the way you would like your popup to be shown, I set mine after 5 seconds.
Next, select the Style Settings, here is where you will paste your MailChimp embedded code you copied earlier.
If you do not like the look of the popup, you can always customize the look and feel to your popup using the instant preview.
Once you have completed your look and feel, hit Save when complete.
5. TEST IF THE POPUP WORKING
You can test your popup, by opening a new browser incognito and heading to your site.
Here is an example of what mine looked like.
I used Option 3 and installed PopupAlly and configured to request First Name and Email.
Don’t forget to enter your name and email on the right-hand side and subscribe for future content!
