What do a backstage pass to a Whitney Houston concert and a boardroom presentation have in common? According to Greg “G” Wright, everything. In this episode, Tim sits down with the sound engineer-turned-public speaking coach to unpack what it really means to be a powerful communicator.

G’s journey from teenage radio DJ to coaching leaders on “rock star frequency” is a masterclass in confidence, mindset, and overcoming imposter syndrome. With over 25 years in the music industry, G shares how live performance principles translate into unforgettable public presentations. From manifestation to preparation, he shows us that effective communication isn’t a gift—it’s a skill anyone can develop.

You’ll hear how the shift from analog to digital mirrors the evolution in interpersonal skills, why authenticity beats perfection, and how to tap into your “why” to build connection with any audience. Whether you’re facing a mic or a meeting, this episode will help you show up like the rock star you already are.
