Greg Reid has done it all. From being published in over 100 books to speaking at the United Nations to scaling Mount Kilimanjaro: he has enough experience, advice, and knowledge to last 10 lifetimes. His most recent project on Netflix called "Wish Man" is based around the life of Frank Shankwitz (founder of the Make A Wish Foundation). Greg was the one to grant a wish to the make a wish guy!
