About Greg
At 16, Greg organized a team of 10 students at Riverside High School to sell sodas, building one of his first businesses and earning up to $100 a day.
At 20, he was a college senior with a 3.65 GPA and multiple full-time job offers, seemingly on a clear path toward success.
At 22, Greg was homeless, still in school, and forced to rebuild when the future he expected suddenly changed.
At 26, he shared his story publicly through The Minority Trailblazer Podcast. That chapter helped grow the show into a national platform with more than one million downloads and expanded his reach as a speaker and storyteller.
Now, Greg is a nationally recognized speaker, educator, author, and experience designer helping students, leaders, and organizations navigate adversity, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and agency.

Testimonials From Clients
I just wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration. Ever since I heard you speak I have read all your post and you have given me a sense of hope. You have empowered me not to give up and push forward on my dreams. I have even encouraged my boyfriend to do the same. Thanks for everything.
Your speech really motivated me to get my stuff together. I'm a C+ (almost B) student and I struggle with autism. I feel like if I can try a little bit harder I'm going to be able to be an A student next year. I just wanted to say I appreciate you today.
I just wanted to say thanks again for sharing your talents, your story, and your enthusiasm with the community here at the i-lab. It must be satisfying for you to see people making progress as they did in such a short period of time – not just in communicating their own stories but actually in better understanding their own stories, themselves! Your energy and enthusiasm is such a strength – it’s impossible not to absorb it and reflect it.
