Episode 003: Marie and Maureen "Bunky" Griffin

January 01, 2020

I first encountered Marie Griffin during the annual Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business Intercollegiate Business Convention, where she was delivering a keynote speech. During her speech, Marie spoke of her journey from being an editor at Seventeen Magazine, to working in Paris, to starting her own namesake company and working with clients that range from Hermes to Dior Beauty to the Wall Street Journal. What was most fascinating about Marie, besides her adventurous journey and career, was a program and guide she created titled, "What’s Your CATNIP?™"––an immersive talk about the power that one possesses when one is in-tune with the qualities that one unique.

Seeing that we're all about impact here at The Catalyst and that Marie's talk was all about leveraging one's uniqueness for maximum impact across all areas of our life, I knew I needed to have on The Catalyst to discuss more.

In this episode, I spoke with Marie and her sister, Bunky, about their journeys to creating their namesake company, the power of CATNIP, and the importance of knowing oneself.
