ReStructured S1E6: Out of Office – The Art of Letting Go with Shannon Edwards

On today’s episode of ReStructured, Melissa Terito sits down with longtime friend and fellow TPA owner, Shannon Edwards of TriStar, to talk about what it really looks like to build a boundary-first business.

Shannon shares how she went from 300+ hours of overtime in a CPA firm and hauling bankers’ boxes on girls’ trips to closing her office at noon on Fridays, guarding her weekends, and actually unplugging on vacation (yes, with a real out-of-office that she honors).

They get into the mindset shift from “I have to be available24/7” to “my team and my network can handle this,” why hobbies like golf and pickleball are non-negotiable for high performers, and how leaders unintentionally hold their people back by doing everything themselves. If you’re a firm owner, partner, or ambitious professional who struggles to step away from your inbox, this conversation will give you permission and practical ideas to protect your time without sacrificing growth.
