#004 Anthony Griffin, M.B.A (Saga Consulting) | Entrepreneurship, Self-Care, and Building Sustainable Business Growth | Merry Christmas 2025

In this reflective and grounded episode, Anthony and I look back on the past year through the lens of entrepreneurship, personal growth, and sustainability; both in business and in life.

The conversation explores why consistency matters more than motivation, especially when progress feels slow or invisible. Rather than chasing bursts of inspiration, we discuss how showing up day after day, imperfect but committed, creates momentum that compounds over time.

A major theme of the episode is personal sustainability. Success is meaningless if it comes at the cost of burnout, and this episode dives into why self-care isn’t a luxury, but a strategic necessity. From protecting energy to setting boundaries, we unpack how taking care of yourself directly impacts long-term performance and clarity.

We also talk about the concept of selective motion: learning when to say no. Not every opportunity is meant for you, and saying yes to everything can dilute focus, values, and effectiveness. This episode highlights how alignment, not activity, is what truly drives meaningful growth.

Another key takeaway is the importance of putting yourself out there, even when things aren’t perfect. Growth only happens through action, reflection, and iteration. Whether it’s launching a project, starting a business, or sharing your ideas publicly, you can’t learn without being willing to be seen, and sometimes failing along the way.

Finally, we reflect on how surrounding yourself with the right people, maintaining the right mindset, and committing to continuous improvement can dramatically accelerate both personal and professional progress.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone focused on long-term growth who wants to build success that’s not just impressive, but sustainable.
