In this episode of The Few Leaders, Boo sits down with executive coach and wealth strategist Marissa Teeter for a candid, thought-provoking conversation about what modern leadership actually requires. From why consistency doesn’t mean doing the same thing forever to why leaders don’t need all the answers, Marissa challenges some of the most deeply ingrained assumptions about growth, confidence, and success.

Together, they explore why leadership is an inside job first, how evolving as a leader doesn’t mean losing your identity, and why intentional systems — not status or appearances — are what truly create long-term stability and freedom. The conversation also shines a light on wealth, unpacking why clarity, discipline, and self-awareness matter more than income level.

Listeners will come away with fresh perspectives on leading through change, creating peace of mind through better financial decisions, and building a version of success that’s sustainable not performative.

This episode is for leaders who are ready to disconnect from the busy brain, question the stories they’ve been told, and build something that actually lasts.

Actionable Takeaway:

1. Review how you lead and ask yourself where you need to evolve, rather than trying to be more consistent.
2. Look at the gaps in your team and reflect on what they might be showing you about your own leadership.
3. Practise saying “I don’t know” and use it as an opening to listen, learn, and lead better.
4. Shift your focus from being the best performer to creating the conditions for others to do their best work.
5. Separate your sense of security from how much you earn and focus on building clarity and control instead.
6. Write down exactly where your money is going so you can make decisions from facts, not feelings.
7. Build simple, repeatable systems for money and decision-making instead of chasing the image of success.
8. Get intentional precisely because you’re busy, not once things finally slow down.
