About this episode

In this episode of We Love Everyone, Alex Morin and Marcy Barbaro welcome entrepreneur, inventor, West Point graduate, Army veteran, and international best-selling author Greg Gregorian.Greg has already published the international bestseller What Kind of Impression Are You Leaving?, is preparing his second book, The Five Crucibles, for publication, and is currently writing his third book with Working Writers Co. But this conversation isn't about writing one book; it's about why someone would dedicate themselves to writing three.Greg explains that his motivation has never been fame or recognition. Instead, it's rooted in a desire to share what life has taught him. Throughout his career, Greg benefited from extraordinary mentors who challenged him, invested in him, and helped him reach his potential. At the same time, he has watched talented friends and colleagues fall short—not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked guidance.His books are his way of becoming that guide for others.The conversation also explores how Greg's years in the U.S. Army shaped his understanding of resilience, discipline, and perseverance, qualities that proved just as valuable while writing as they did while serving overseas. Alex and Marcy discuss how writing a book demands consistency, commitment, and the willingness to continue long after the initial excitement has faded.Greg also reflects on an unexpected benefit of becoming an author: the writing process itself deepened his understanding of his own ideas. Organizing decades of experience into clear principles forced him to think more critically, challenge assumptions, and ultimately become a stronger leader and communicator.Finally, Alex and Marcy share what it has been like to work alongside Greg through multiple books. More than an author, Greg has become a mentor whose wisdom extends far beyond the pages of his manuscripts. Every coaching session has become an opportunity to learn from someone committed to lifelong growth, service, and excellence.Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, a writer, or someone hoping to leave a meaningful legacy, this episode offers an inspiring reminder that the knowledge we keep to ourselves has limited value, but the knowledge we share has the power to change lives.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Greg decided to write not one, but three booksThe mentors who shaped his life and inspired his missionHelping others reach their fullest potentialLessons in resilience from West Point and military serviceHow discipline translates from the battlefield to the writing deskWhy writing made Greg an even better leader and thinkerThe surprising ways authors grow while writing their own booksAlex and Marcy's experience working with Greg across multiple manuscriptsWhy sharing your knowledge may be one of the greatest legacies you can leave
