Greg Berg is a man of many creative talents. He’s a photographer, videographer, web designer, print designer, musician and radio podcast host. What’s impressed me most about Greg is the intentionality with which he directs his life.
After surviving an horrific car accident in his teens, where paramedics at first thought he was dead, he’s focused on using his “bonus time” here on Earth to the best of his ability to bring out the best in other people. In the wake of being downsized from a couple of back-to-back jobs in a stumbling economy, Greg and his wife sold their St. Louis home, where he’d grown up and had deep roots, and moved to sunny San Diego in search of a fresh start. After establishing himself in a new region, in 2008, in the midst of another economic slump, he gave up his job as marketing director of one of the largest YMCA branches in the U.S. to pursue his passion for creating things of significance.
Inspired by the inaugural 2011 World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon, Greg started his first podcast, Radio Enso, tools and inspiration for conscious living. He produced nearly 150 episodes interviewing well-known guests such as Brene Brown, Chris Brogan, Nancy Duarte, Danielle LaPorte, Jonathan Fields, Chris Guillebeau and Pamela Slim. His aim was to find out what makes creatives, seekers and non-conformists tick.
This past fall, Greg had the courage to make a change in his approach and direction. and embarked on yet another fresh start with his new podcast called Life On Purpose. With this new endeavor, he intends to drill deeper into helping people be more intentional with their daily habits and mindsets.
As a musician, Greg’s performed in front of thousands, and opened for many artists including Shawn Colvin, Ben Folds, and Dada.
“The thing that I’m most scared to hit ‘Publish’ on is probably the best thing I’ve ever written. The more afraid you are, likely the better it is. You’re building this muscle – you do it once, you get a little better at it. You do it ten times and you’re starting to build that muscle a little more. You do it 150 times, you’ve built up that muscle pretty good, it’s not so hard anymore. You’re still going to get a little nervous; there’s going to be trepidation and fear, but you’ve built that muscle up enough now to where, it’s this crazy thing, but you just say, ‘I’m just going to hit launch.’ It’s how your brain works.” ~ Greg Berg
