This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Greg Wier discuss the following:

You’ve built and rebuilt multi-million-dollar companies. What was the lowest moment in your career, and what practical steps did you take to climb back?
In More Than Just Luck, you challenge the idea that success is random. What are three controllable behaviors that separate sustained success from short-term wins?
You’ve operated in high-pressure industries like security, investigations, commercial real estate, music, and television production. How do you make tough decisions when millions of dollars and reputations are on the line?
You’ve seen firsthand how loyalty, partnerships, and internal culture can either build an empire or destroy it. What should business owners watch for before it’s too late?
What’s one hard truth entrepreneurs don’t want to hear, but need to if they truly want to scale?

TIP:  “Success isn’t luck. It’s discipline under pressure. If you want to grow, audit your habits, tighten your circle, and make decisions based on long-term power, not short-term emotion. Most people don’t fail because they can’t win. They fail because they quit when it gets uncomfortable.”

Greg Wier is a serial entrepreneur, television producer, and founder of a multi-state security and investigative services company that expanded from a few hundred employees to nearly 1,500 across Michigan, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Illinois, New York, Tennessee, Ohio, and Texas.

From humble beginnings in Willis, Michigan (population 2,700), Greg built a business empire spanning security, private investigations, commercial real estate, music, and television production. Throughout his journey, he experienced dramatic success, crushing setbacks, partnership splits costing millions in annual revenue, and internal betrayal that nearly ended everything.

In addition to his business ventures, Greg has worked alongside major figures in entertainment and television, witnessing behind-the-scenes realities rarely discussed publicly.

His book, More Than Just Luck, is not a motivational cliché. It is an unfiltered account of power, deception, resilience, reinvention, and the hard truths behind sustained success. The book pulls back the curtain on high-level business decisions, personal sacrifice, industry scandals, and the mindset required to rebuild when everything appears lost.

Greg continues to lead, mentor, and speak about leadership, grit, business growth, and navigating high-stakes environments with clarity and conviction.
