On today’s episode of Mind Sweep, we bring on singer-songwriter and youth speaker, Greg Rider. Greg talks about how he was taking life for granted at a young age and floating along without any purpose. He shares how a car accident at just 21 years old put all that in perspective for him and changed his direction and mindset completely. He realized that if he was to die at that moment, he wouldn’t have been satisfied with who he was a person, and how he would be remembered. Moving forward, Greg talks about the importance of making mistakes and taking chances in order to find out who you are and what makes you happy. For Greg that was leaving town, and taking on various jobs and experiences in Montreal, The Cayman Islands, and eventually Nashville playing music. He bounced on opportunity wherever it came without holding back.
Greg is currently on tour across Canada performing and speaking to high school students about his story in hopes to provide connection and education for the kids.
His music single ‘Baby Girl’ is included at the end of the podcast.
