FEATURED IN PRESS
UNFOLDING THOUGHT PODCAST
Greg reflects on his journey from garage rehearsals and backyard keggers to international tours, and what it was like to walk away from fame to build a new life in real estate. He shares how lessons from music—persistence, collaboration, and curiosity—translate into success in any field, and why hard work still beats talent when the two meet on stage or in business. From building one of the first fan email lists in the mid-’90s to producing independent films and mentoring new musicians, Greg shows how reinvention isn’t about starting over—it’s about carrying your mindset forward.
