Raised in a conservative Christian homeschool environment, Greg's journey led him from the cornfields of Missouri to the bustling streets of New York City and the rigorous world of the Coast Guard.
Greg's foundation is built on his Christian faith, but his experiences taught him to question and refine his beliefs without abandoning his core values. Greg advises to "enter every conversation with the assumption that you might be wrong.”
As a marketing director, endurance athlete, and father, Greg embodies the art of balancing professional ambition with personal well-being. He emphasizes the importance of consistent habits: regular exercise, a healthy diet, quality time with family, and an insatiable appetite for learning. "People who are balanced are more productive in their working time than people who aren't."
Greg challenges the notion that success requires sacrificing other aspects of life. His approach involves setting clear boundaries between work and home, ensuring he's fully present in each role. Greg's philosophy extends beyond personal development to a broader worldview. He encourages others to view themselves as heroes in their own stories rather than victims of circumstance. "A hero says, somebody else caused this evil to come upon me, but I will fight back and change the narrative that I have," he explains.
Greg advocates for "willfully engaging in elective suffering" as a path to growth. By consistently pushing our limits – whether through physical challenges or intellectual pursuits – we expand our capacity to handle life's everyday difficulties. Our lives are shaped not just by the circumstances we face, but by how we choose to respond to them.
Examine your own narrative, seek truth diligently, and craft a life of purpose.
