This week, I’m excited to welcome Gregory Shepard to the mic.
In this inspiring 45-minute conversation, Greg shares his journey from humble beginnings, shaped by his struggles with neurodivergence and poverty, to becoming a successful entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist.

Despite the obstacles, Greg’s determination led him to build and sell 12 businesses, and today he’s a champion for young entrepreneurs, spreading his philosophy of “Altruistic Capitalism”—the idea that business success and social good can go hand in hand.

Greg’s story of resilience and fearless optimism serves as a powerful example of how anyone can overcome adversity and create meaningful impact.

Tune in to hear Greg’s insights on navigating life’s challenges, and be inspired to take bold steps in your own leadership journey!
