ANTHEA MUMBY | DISRUPTION SERVES! ANCHORING YOURSELF TO PULL FORWARD

"It's about helping them get some of the structure in place so that they will be ahead of the game and don't maybe have to go through some of the challenges that Douglas and I did over the years - keep coming back to those values. You'll make better business decisions as a result of that."

Anthea Mumby started working in her parents' insurance broker business at the age of 13., side by side with her father for over 20 years. In her mid 30's she purchased the business and worked with her spouse.  Over the decades revenues grew 10 times and they became the niche experts for Canada's architectural and design community and maintained client retention of over 92% year after year.   

Anthea made the tough decision to become a consultant, and sold the family business in 2020. She and her partner have had many disruptions, coming close to the brink. She now helps couple-owned businesses to create a legacy of wealth and well-being.  

Key things we talk openly about:  

💥 Setting boundaries between work and home, the tension moving from one domain to another. 

💥 How can you and your life partner enhance each other's skills and capabilities in order to effectively grow your business together? 

💥 Disruption Serves! 

💥 As a parent, what can we do to model self-care for our children?  ‌
