About the Podcast

This is a podcast to explore our jobs and what they mean to our life. We spend so much of our lives at work, how do we make it count?

Each episode is here to connect you with different people in the business world to discuss the real stories behind each person and the happiness, struggles, fulfillment and career experiences they have. I hope this helps you learn something about yourself too.

Through interviews with everyday business people, I’ll explore different jobs along with the happiness and stress they can bring.

About Greg, the Podcast Host

Based in Toronto, Canada - by day I’m a Managing Director at the prestigious Investment Bank, Origin Merchant Partners. As a firm, we are a team of some of the brightest professionals in Canada, providing advice to CEOs, boards and business owners of public and private companies across North America as the most critical times, including:

• Sale of the business

• Pursuing buy-side acquisitions

• Raising capital (debt, equity and anything in between)

• Considering alternative strategies to grow, prosper or maximize value for the business

As part of my role I work every day with many young professionals as a leader, mentor and through training in the art of finance, M&A and loving your job through constant challenge and development.

I got my start in M&A after graduating from university at Wilfrid Laurier in Waterloo. After working for several years at Genuity and Canaccord Genuity, I joined Origin Merchant Partners to help build it into the largest M&A boutique in Canada, now with professionals across Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Denver and Atlanta.

I also have personal experience as a start-up entrepreneur, co-founding an e-commerce and food business called Farm’r.

My goal of this podcast and website is to help more people enjoy life through their jobs.
