Hey Community family, in today’s episode, Kristina sits down with sought-after business advisor, executive coach, podcast host and keynote speaker/moderator Marissa Teeter.

Marissa is an exceptional communicator and facilitator with over 20 years of business development, wealth management and executive leadership under her belt. She has held corporate executive roles, helped build and run a boutique wealth management firm, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and helped fuel a handful of start-up companies along the way. Now, Marissa enjoys working with entrepreneurs, business owners and business executives alike to fuel their leadership capabilities, drive business growth, enhance team engagement, foster change management, and support personal growth and overall wellbeing for high performance individuals.

In this episode of Community Marissa shares her journey from a 20-year career as an executive in wealth management to launching her own thriving executive coaching business. In just six months, she built a six-figure business—entirely by tapping into the strength of her existing network. No fancy launch, no perfect website, just clear intention, confidence, and real conversations.

Together, Kristina and Marissa dive deep into:

Why you need to start before you're ready (and stop waiting for the business cards)
How to identify and activate the people already cheering you on
Building your personal board of directors (and how to ask them to join it)
Why specificity in your asks makes all the difference
The myth of competition, and why there's room for all of us

If you’ve been sitting on your next big idea, stuck in perfectionism, or wondering how to grow your business with heart, this one is for you.
