In this episode of Progress Always, I sit down with Quincy Gregg — senior consultant at Ernst & Young, collegiate hockey player, MBA graduate, world traveler, and author in progress. We dive into his journey from undersized hockey player to global explorer and corporate leader, and how intentional adversity and curiosity fuel growth both on and off the ice.
Key Takeaways
Why intentional adversity — from hockey training to solo travel — builds resilience.
Lessons from boarding school discipline that shaped Quincy’s professional edge.
The power of mentorship and keeping accountability after athletics.
How facing racism at a young age shaped Quincy’s identity and leadership.
The life lessons learned from global travel and blind menu dining.
