Greg E. Hill’s story began in Durham, North Carolina, where leadership and entrepreneurship showed up early. As a teenager, he built a 10-person sales team at Riverside High School, earning more than $100 a day and learning how to organize people, create opportunity, and move others toward a goal. Those early experiences laid the foundation for a career centered on leadership, storytelling, and helping people recognize what is possible.

At North Carolina A&T State University, Greg balanced academics, entrepreneurship, and leadership while building a successful student business. But success did not move in a straight line. After losing more than $20,000 in one night, his path changed dramatically, eventually leading to homelessness and a season of rebuilding. That experience became one of the defining chapters of his life and deeply shaped the way he now teaches resilience, agency, and forward movement.

Today, Greg is a nationally recognized speaker, educator, author, and experience designer who has delivered more than 400 presentations, published two books, and built a media platform with more than one million podcast downloads. He is also a husband and father of three, bringing the same commitment to family, growth, and resilience into the work he does with students, educators, leaders, and organizations. His work now centers on helping people navigate adversity, adapt through change, and keep building forward with clarity and purpose.
