The Story Behind the Speaker
A Story of Building, Losing, and Building Again.
Greg’s journey started with entrepreneurship and leadership as a teenager in Durham, North Carolina. In college, a sharp turn led to homelessness and a season of rebuilding that would reshape his understanding of resilience.
That lived experience became a platform for storytelling, books, speaking, and helping others recognize what’s still possible. Today, Greg brings those lessons into rooms where people are ready to move forward.
Beyond Motivation
What Audiences Walk Away With
The goal isn’t just to inspire people in the room. It’s to help them leave with perspective, practical tools, and the confidence to take action.
01 / PERSPECTIVE
A New Perspective
See adversity, setbacks, and change through a different lens, with a stronger understanding of how resilience is actually built.
02 / ACTION
Practical Next Steps
Walk away with clear, usable actions that can be applied immediately in life, leadership, school, or work.
03 / AGENCY
Greater Agency
Recognize what is still within your control and leave more confident in your ability to make the next move.

The Impact
What Audiences Are Saying

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.
