Gregory Grant is the City of Jacksonville's Director of Small and Emerging Business who was appointed by Mayor Donna Deegan in 2023 to lead her agenda to make Jacksonville the "Small Business Capital of the Southeast."
Gregory is a Jacksonville original. He has served in the U.S. Army, built and invested in several businesses, and has formally taught entrepreneurship at many Jacksonville colleges and Universities.
As the JSEB Director, Gregory is seeking to make the program widely known in the River City and work with city government to pass legislation that works for the business owner.
I am proud to have spoken with Gregory and used our time to help give Jacksonvillians the information they need to forge and begin their business journey.
Episode dedicated in memory to Bill Thompson.
