Growth is easy to talk about — but smart growth is harder to execute.
In this episode of Real Talk Savannah, we sit down with Phillip Scroggin, Founder of SOL Insights, to talk about how Savannah businesses can use data, strategy, and clarity to grow sustainably — without chasing scale for the sake of scale.
Phillip shares his personal journey from growing up in Savannah to working in tech and analytics, and how that path led him to start SOL Insights — a company focused on helping businesses make better decisions through data, not guesswork.
While Phillip also serves as President of Buy Local Savannah, this conversation centers on his work as a founder, consultant, and strategic thinker — and how those experiences shape the way he approaches business growth.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why data-driven decisions matter for small and mid-sized businesses
The difference between revenue and profitability
Why “more customers” isn’t always the right goal
How businesses can use data without becoming overwhelmed
When it’s time to stop DIY-ing and bring in expert support
How Savannah’s growth impacts local businesses — positively and negatively
Building a business that supports your life, not just your workload
This episode is especially valuable for:
✔️ Business owners and founders
✔️ Entrepreneurs feeling stuck or stretched thin
✔️ Companies curious about using data more intentionally
✔️ Savannah businesses navigating growth in a changing market
Phillip brings a grounded, practical perspective that cuts through hustle culture and focuses on clarity, sustainability, and intentional decision-making.
🎙️ Real Talk Savannah highlights the people and ideas shaping Savannah — from business and real estate to culture and community.
