Have you ever met a person that is so aligned with their purpose that they seem to exude gratitude and happiness?

In today's episode, we'll hear what it's been like to have a career full of adventure through film.

Five years ago, as we celebrated a friend's birthday, I struck up a conversation with today's guest Greg. Although Greg mentions in this interview how his business has changed since I started meeting with him two days a week, I have to admit that it has been a whirlwind of experiences for me too. From working with award-winning Grammy artists to film producers and doctors that are changing the face of medicine, I have yet to see another career path that is more diverse than Greg's.
